In 1941, construction began on San Diego’s Linda Vista housing for defense workers (Navy and Marine Corps). Contractors McNeil & Zoss put up 3,000 units in 300 days for $9 million (nearly $160 million today), the biggest military building project in the nation’s history. Residents were younger, more diverse, and more integrated than any other area of the city. Discover more San Diego history in Tazia and Gemma (see NOVELS).
