The City of San Diego's planning commission passed two proposals on Thursday that could double the population of Hillcrest and University City by allowing more high-rise housing. They discussed the University City proposal first. During public comment, speakers both for and against the plan voiced their opinions. "Apparently there's someone in the mayor's office and his advisors who envision really a new city within University City and it just doesn't make sense. The 30,000 more homes, the 70,000 more jobs. The state of California is not forecasting that kind of growth neither is SANDAG," said Thomas Mullaney.
