Online voting to continue through January with results incorporated in new 'vision' plan

If you wonder who’s planned San Diego into such a mess of sprawling housing developments, jammed freeways, underperforming schools and poor employment prospects, the San Diego Foundation has the antidote -- you.

Starting Wednesday and continuing to mid- or late-January, the organization hopes tens of thousands of San Diego County residents will go to “ShowYourLoveSD.org” and engage in a “public choosing” of what the future we want.

The cyber-teach-in will be used in preparing a new vision for the region, set for publication next spring, with the added promise that this time, when someone sketches out a vision, it will get implemented.

Heading the effort, entitled “Our Greater San Diego Vision,” is Bill Geppert, recently retired vice president and regional manager of Cox Communications. He also is acting president of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.

“This is an opportunity to have input into our future,” Geppert said. “It’s an opportunity to have a voice about what kind of San Diego we want in the next 40 to 50 years out that our kids and grandkids will live in, where they will live, work and play. It’s the chance to shape what’s possible in the future.” READ MORE
