They also want to make the lots a bit bigger. Access will be via 28th Street and an outlet on Elvas Avenue, with a pedestrian/bike underpass on Alhambra. There is no plan for public transit to the site, so the project will be entirely car-dependent and single-use. Sounds basically like a slice of Elk Grove at East Sac prices.

Hate this. It adds nothing to the city- but more crappy McMansions. I would rather the site be turned into a park and joined with the future Sutter's Landing Park with a ped./bike bridge across Cap City Freeway.
OK now you can tell me why it's such a horrible idea and why it could never happen.
