Empowerment






San Diego's Little Italy, created by fishermen from Genoa and Sicily, is now high-rise luxury apartments, expensive restaurants and very few Italian families. Women who live in one of the towers warned me to not walk outside alone looking at my phone. They grocery shop miles away.
Ten miles north in Pacific Beach, Carmel Partners-Kalonymus, a developer with a reputation for corruption and bribery in Los Angeles, has applied for a permit to build a 23-story Airbnb hotel and luxury apartments tower with an ugly parking garage on a quaint 2-lane street.






10,000 homeless 770 tents
One of two safe sleeping tent sites, near downtown. Accessory Dwelling Apartment Buildings, many built by SDRE, get the approval of Mayor Gloria by his land use and housing advisor Christopher Ackerman-Avila
Without showing concern for locals, San Diego's Mayor Gloria revised the density bonus law to allow Accessory Dwelling Apartment Buildings (above) that are not accessory but bigger than the main house, don't complement the neighborhood and ruin the privacy of adjacent neighbors.
The photo on the far right is of a proposed 130+ ADU complex on a 10,000 year old Kumeyaay village site, with human remains and artifacts in Pacific Beach.
SDRE CEO Christian Spicer (middle in photo to left) has indicated he would resolve this 'Kumeyaay issue.' The beautiful weather hasn't changed but the typically mellow locals are vocalizing their 'unhappiness' about density bonus ADUs in San Diego.

If cities were awarded a prize for ruining a lovely landscape...San Diego would win 1st place
Nothing says 'greed' like an unsupervised home that accommodates 14 people for sleeping, unlimited for partying, being used as an Airbnb/hotel, so the investor-owner can enjoy playing pickleball, knowing the mortgage, taxes and upkeep of their investment property is getting paid by the Airbnb guests who come and go at all hours and ruin the neighbor's sleep.
