San Diego is forging ahead with plans for a sprawling new community featuring more than 5,100 affordable homes — despite fierce pushback from private landowners who warn the rezoning could slash the value of their property. The massive Southwest Village development in Otay Mesa will span nearly 490 acres, most of it city-owned, and be built by Tri Pointe Homes. The City Council has already signed off on the ambitious project, which will also include market-rate homes, a school, parks, 175,000 square feet of retail space and more than 200 acres of open space, according to project documents.
