SDSU proposes to destroy a pristine canyon with its endangered species and scenic vistas to build 14 story tall Las Vegas-style dorms that they could build on top a parking lot on the campus instead. Please don't let SDSU destroy the canyon! It's one of the last places on campus with natural trees and it's part of a natural ecosystem that supports greenhouse gas reduction and many plants and animals.

SDSU grad here - 2700 beds is not a "community" as SDSU claims it wants to create for the sophomores. Use the 14 other sites ID'ed and discarded in the EIR to create smaller dorms where the students living in them will get to know each other and create life long relationships.
It is shameful to start the long slide into our last vestige of wild areas in San Diego. It is my understanding that back in the 70's the canyon ecosystems were protected by the City of San Diego. Once start the process of ruining our canyons, other developers will try and follow.
SDSU needs student housing. However it does not need to build in a canyon. I urge SDSU to be a responsible steward of it's canyon spaces and build housing for students on the alternate sites noted in the EIR
This project quadruples the number of beds and while tearing out the existing parking with no replacement. SDSU claims they offer a city planning degree, but this proposal seriously undermines any credibility such a program could have.
SDSU needs to be a good neighbor and be open and transparent with their Master Planning efforts. These buildings are poorly designed, planned and located on the campus. Out of scale next to single family neighborhood. The canyon needs to remain for a campus buffer.
It's a sad time, when man has no respect for animals and the beautiful places they live. Build somewhere else!
Irony of a University destroying the environment and not being a good neighbor

The impact the community is huge. The traffic will be so bad that it will drive folks to drive through the Alvarado Estates route and drive traffic to streets like College Gardens and Hewlett. It will be an eyesore for communities on the other side of highway 8 as well.
