It’s never discussed, except when following state laws to build affordable housing, which is useful… but not that affordable without the transit facilities to support the housing in the first place. Bait and switch?

And, this past week Caltrans/city removed the dedicated bus lane on Park Blvd. We’re going backwards, transit-wise. The airport, Balboa Park, and Harbor lack transit facilities because we don’t care. Transit service is completely missing from the BP parking fiasco dialogue. Backwards…

Thursday afternoon in Balboa Park… plenty of parking available now, no lines at the museums, and the first month generated $600,000 in fees ($7m in 2026). So, everyone loses. (When you build for cultural and social value, it always equates to economic value, while the converse is not as true.)

Your daughter’s performances are inspiring! Hope other neighborhoods try them. The kids are more than alright! The last event we had was South Park Film Fest in December. More to follow.

Truly love San Diego. I’d only change how cheap we are when it comes to parks, mobility, and street trees. Otherwise, wow.

Did something similar… sat and drew up and attempted AI for this small downtown district and it hurt my soul.
