On Tuesday morning, July 30th, our San Diego City Council will debate a crucial issue for all beach and coastal area residents.
At issue is a proposed five-story (50-foot-plus tall) housing project, which would undeniably serve the crucial need for more affordable housing. Proposed for 2662 Garnet Ave, just east of Soledad Mountain Road, the development would have 59 studios for very-low income renters and veterans, with "wrap-around" services for occupants.
It's just what San Diego needs more of, especially in neighborhoods like mine in Talmadge/ El Cerrito/ College/ City Heights, where we're building high-rise versions of these housing projects, along the El Cajon Blvd. and University Ave. transit corridors. (Also in Clairemont,and other neighborhoods north of Interstate 8.)
But as Council Member La Cava points out in his recent Op-Ed piece in the U-T, there's a significant and unavoidable conflict with the proposed Garnet Ave. project.
