ESCONDIDO: Gated apartments slated to replace crumbling city neighborhood : North County Times - Californian: "ESCONDIDO ---- A gated community featuring 55 shiny townhomes and apartments may soon be built on the former site of a crumbling Escondido neighborhood that has been notorious for gangs, drugs and violence.
After spending more than a year acquiring 13 of the 19 apartment buildings on the Elder Place cul-de-sac, city officials said Tuesday that they are ready to move forward with plans to build a new low-income rental community on the 5-acre site.
The transformation will rid central Escondido of a crime haven and may also catalyze other redevelopment projects nearby, city officials and neighborhood leaders said."

Escondido is in northern San Diego County. It's nice to see some redevelopment going on someplace.
