A Better One Paseo

We've spent so much time talking about how the current One Paseo project is bad, that we've forgotten that a scaled-down, mixed use development at this site could be great! It's time that we start telling our side of the story, how Carmel Valley residents aren't against development, we just want something better. For example, look at the above picture. Here's a human-scale Main Street where I could imagine spending time. It's the kind of relaxing, small-town village that we'd all love to visit. If you compare this picture to the massive, 6-story retail and residential block that Kilroy is proposing, you'll see that there are alternatives that still provide mixed use, but at a lower development intensity. So, how about it, Kilroy? San Diego is the "City of Villages", so, where's our village? See the One Paseo section for more posts on this subject, and the One Paseo overview image.
