East Village? Affordable?
December 3, 2009 | by Dylan | Comment
The rapid development of San Diego’s East Village has always been a turn off – for the past 4 years I have spent most of my time in East Village watching small business forced out by rising property cost and the warehouse district quickly becoming a sterile condo district.
SD Space 4 Art brings a little bit of light to the table. Their team of “progressive San Diego artists, architects, writers, filmmakers, musicians and dancers with background and experience in affordable housing and community built projects” is developing an ‘arts community center’ in the San Diego’s East Village. They claim the new(old) space “will have around 30 units of various sizes, 4-5 of them work/live, and significant common space, all at affordable rates.” Alright, I’m curious… They will be showing the space on Saturday. Dec 5 from 12-6pm. I wouldn’t mind stopping by, and it’s exciting to think what this could mean for my favorite part of town. Read more about this project at sdspace4art.org
