I don't actually mind developers per se, I have more problem with existing business demanding the local taxpayers fund their parking. I also got tired of NIMBYs objecting to any new housing that didn't include ridiculously high amounts of parking.

The apartment I lived in was built in the 20's, and it was a 2 bed with no offstreet parking above a shop. It was fantastic! It made a lot of sense since my wife and I wanted to live car-free. Unfortunately it would be illegal to build now, and SD would have required two parking spots for it (at most we only ever owned one car).

There's actually a lot of new housing developments going on right now. Especially in uptown and downtown. I think there are 5 or more cranes in downtown right now. How many cranes are in SF right now? Probably zero. Unfortunately, in San Diego, you really need a car to get around.
