- University Heights residents said they’re fed-up with the City of San Diego’s plan to build more housing.
Many are upset over the construction of an eight-story building that’s about to get underway in the middle of a neighborhood.
The residential building is set to go up on a street where the tallest building is just three-stories high.

Nobody wants to talk about how Airbnb takes scarce housing off the rental market.
It's good these people are so concerned with infrastructure. I'm sure they'd be happy to learn that the dense housing going in will be far more efficient and cost-effective than their single family homes for all forms of infrastructure.
These people must be pretty upset with having houses they bought decades ago and have appreciated millions of dollars. Could they purchase in that area at the same point of their life if born today?
In the middle of a housing crisis we can't afford to be preoccupied with the delicate sensibilities of every single neighbor. MOAR HOUSING!!!
Move elsewhere
Amen, YIMBY all the way
There's no housing crises when the only condos going up are for the rich. These fake excuse for housing crises doesn't create communities, they create hostilities and don't complain about traffic in the future cause you're for this.
These people only complain when it’s in their backyard.
San Diego will bend over for any developer with a few dollars to spread around under the table
Thats like what happened in Mission Hills. Wow. Thats tall.
HOPEFULLY THE HOUSES AROUND THE NEW COMPLEX WILL CHANGE INTO DENSE HOUSING TOO! ^^
Amen
Building more housing because of homelessness? Such a crock of dung! These buildings don't help at all. They are expensive and only benefit the developers.
We need more housing in the central part of our city.
You can always move out to the 'burbs if this is not to your liking.
Drive 5th or 6th Ave up through Bankers Hill. this is the plan for all neighborhoods along transit corridors. I understand their disappointment but this is only a beginning of what's to come.
There is NO HOUSING CRISES. When developers are the only ones who can afford to snatch up houses to turn them into massive crunch condos with no parking spaces and developed for Airbnb doesn't allow for first time home buyers to enter the market because they are priced out. Funny how those crying for 'affordable housing' never say exactly what affordable is when even middle class households can't afford to buy. Wages are too low and this is BS if you think this is gonna end homelessness. Plus this isn't even a major city corridor for the city. Don't we already have a downtown SD for all this space crunching? The fact that homes are actually renting again seen recently means there is affordable houses and rentals, anything more than what's proposed now is just greed.
Conspiracy theory nonsense.
I’m all for it
They always report on the one loud NIMBY complaining and yelling at the clouds. Dense areas will have dense housing. We need more housing
If you build expensive apartments then everyone moves up and the homeless can move into the cheaper homes. Minneapolis won’t let anyone build low rise apartments anymore.
Americans need to learn to live without cars and this entails having higher buildings... These communities destroyed what was there before.
A big factor as to why housing is so scare ergo expensive in SoCal is because of clowns like these guys. NIMBY - Not in My Back Yard folk who can delay or prevent more development just because developers would rather avoid the time consuming and expensive litigious process.
Mostly it is the cost of getting through the red tape, environmental impact reports and sheer length of time it takes to build anything in California. We didn't have a housing shortage in the 1980s and earlier because it was much easier to build in a timely and cost-effective manner. There were always NIMBYS.
I say build more, build bigger, build taller and build faster!!!
A 4 story building ok.. but 8?
It should be ten or even twelve. No one is proposing a mega high-rise, but in the middle of a housing crisis we can't afford to be preoccupied with the delicate sensibilities of every single neighbor.
@@conan501 these units won't be affordable
@Conan so being inconsiderate is the right way to go? What an as*hole you are
My thoughts as well. Especially when these new projects are allowed to be severely short on parking per unit. Street parking will be non-existent.
They need to consider parking.
A housing requirement established by Newsom
There is a national shortage in housing development.
And?
Newsom is right
When all the taxpayers and workers of California leave, then they can truly be a waste land for the homeless druggies, and the mentally ill. Try to build infrastructure with a budget then.
The good o'l days are long gone.
Yep. 😢
San Diego does not care about quality of life or affordability look what happened in PB who in the hell needs to think about parking when they jam 6 units per one lot ! WTF
