The San Diego City Council approved neighborhood plans that pave the way for tens of thousands of housing units to be built in Hillcrest and University City. "Hillcrest is a fabulous neighborhood accepting of people as who they are and more people should get to live in Hillcrest," said a Hillcrest resident. The Hillcrest plan paves the way for 17,000 new housing units. It could more than double Hillcrest's population from 40,000 now to 100,000 people by the year 2050.
