Ah! got the map. (Not the demographic sums, alas.) Guess it was four districts downtown.

Older parts of San Diego enjoy a decent number of corner stores off of commercial corridors. What I'd like is a rule to allow those to grow into mini-clusters. "This lot is adjacent to a existing commercial use? That use is now an option here."

Fast Metrolink (which also translates to more frequent Metrolink where single-tracking doesn't constrain) would be such a virtuous circle.
And pleased that hybrid cat-bat suggested in the report. Has made sense to amateur me as a way to trade some efficiency for flexibility on the infra side.

not particularly a plaza-knower but I think they’re common in Mexico and to a lesser extent in the US Southwest.
Here, (Old Town) San Diego was built around one. New Town SD (current downtown) also. Those have faded for varying reasons but we’re trying others. Not equal, but something.

Thanks -- I gave too much credit. (And/tho, that essay was pretty muddled.)
I do think the idea that by-right incremental (~'you can 3x the units anywhere, always') could build faster and better at regional scale is worth engaging. But local control is no way to do the politics/law.

Alright, not best practice but the default model says this SoCal Regional HSR route is profitable at 22.0% and good for me, personally. Realistically the costs are higher than model (tho the route is inland).
Build it!
