Housing and other developmental planning is doomed to failure. The simple reason is population increase. Not addressing that is like ignoring a fart in an elevator.
The latest proposed boondoggle is the proposed "revitalized Civic Center" area. This is just like tearing down the engines of the Titanic to make more deck chairs. But, "We want to bring life to this area", according to some doofus Santa Monica housing bureaurat.
"The Village" in the Civic Center area is proposed to have 325 units of "affordable" housing. That means accommodations for how many? 600, 1000 people? (Or 2000? if you cater to illegals and their litters of spawn?) That will take hundreds of millions of dollars. And how long will that relieve any housing pressure? Seems to me it won't take very long to pump out yet more litters of budding crack hos, car-jackers, and gang-bangers. Where are you going to stack them?
