Operation Condo Conversion Invades San Diego
From Nancy Levy comes this opinion piece by a fellow who sees the good and bad of condo conversions:

On the plus side, they offer more affordable housing which allows more people to purchase a home. On the negative side, they can displace renters who may have a hard time finding a new apartment.
