The 234 Apartment

Whether you call it Van Ness or Forest Hills , the area is a desirable destination in the DC area.

Townhouses and small apartments along Fairfield Road, row houses throughout the community and secondary suites in duplexes and small-lot houses are all part of the mix in the draft Gonzales neighbourhood plan . Coun. Chris Coleman, council liaison to the neighbourhood, said the plan also includes recommendations regarding alternative transportation, parks, ecological preservation, small commercial centres and heritage areas. Coleman said the proposals for extra density might be contentious for some, and council will undoubtedly hear from those folks when it holds a public meeting on the proposals this fall. “But I think the expectation in the [ Official Community Plan ] is that we would see increased density in all neighbourhoods,” he said. City staff note that with about five per cent of the city’s population — 4,175 resident...

Public restrooms in an East Village park have been mostly locked for months, even while a hepatitis A outbreak fueled in part by lacking hygiene has plagued homeless San Diegans . Pinnacle International developed two high- rises bordering Fault Line Park , agreeing years ago to build and maintain the park and restrooms in exchange for perks including the right to build more apartments in the towers and a garage underneath the park.
