Resistance among Point Loma residents to a planned 4-story, 56-unit apartment complex coming to Rosecrans and Talbot is growing dramatically.
This resistance was evidenced Tuesday night, October 29, when 300 residents packed a town hall meeting on the project at the S.E.S. Portuguese Hall in Roseville. Organized by members of the Peninsula Community Planning Board, a panel of speakers updated the crowd on the project and efforts to obtain more information about the building.
No representatives of city or of the developer were present. In fact, neither the city nor the developer have released pertinent documents on the project and had ignored its obligations to the local volunteer planning board.
Ever since news of the project was broken by the Rag on October 21, anger within the community has grown at the delaying tactics undertaken by the city. The project had come up at the Oct. 17 meeting of the Peninsula Community Planning Board -- which is what Rag writer Geoff Page was reporting on -- and more and more residents became infuriated with the city and the complex.
