    I live and work in East Village and walk around and talk to proprietors a lot. Gentrified is certainly not the right term. It is being developed and improved. Petco Park was just the beginning and was built nearly a decade ago, opened in 2004. There is a lot going on in East Village. Many new high-rise buildings, restaurants, and a hotel or two. Still, there is a long way to go to make it a vibrant neighborhood. There are still many empty lots and old buildings in disrepair. I'm not sure whether the city has plans for the area as it seems they do little integrated planning at all, but it is a growing neighborhood with a lot of potential. I would love to see innovative residents, entrepreneurs and developers build a healthy, interesting, and thriving community in the east village of San Diego. For anyone who wants to do this, I'm on board!
