Transit corridors in San Diego are popping up with greater frequency than I can remember. This picture of intersection of El Cajon Blvd and Park Blvd is an example of the densification of a center city neighborhood along extremely busy stroads. Fortunately there are several bus lines that service the area. Even better is that the local neighborhoods have lots to do within walking distance.
The city has allowed for developers to build denser buildings along transit corridors (or even within 15 minutes’ walk of a transit/bus station) without having to build or include lots of parking. Parking spaces, especially the underground variety are really expensive, and said costs ate passed on to renters.
Hopefully the lack of parking spaces within these new buildings will incentivize walking and transit use.
Lastly, I must confess the developer of the pictured building opted to build underground parking. You win some you lose some.
