There is no “average” Del Cerro. ALL of Del Cerro is SUPERIOR in every way to the rest of its zip code 92120. (Allied Gardens has COMM/IND zoning NOT mixed with residential which is preferable to Santee.) Russell compared Sky Ranch to Del Cerro. There is no comparison between the two, in HH income, per capita income, home values or educational levels. IMHO, Del Cerro has superior construction, floor plans, views and lots compared to Santee and is more conveniently located and has a milder climate. DC wins ALL CONTESTS HANDS DOWN over Sky Ranch. This can’t be fixed.
The zoning or lack thereof is a major player in the desirability of a community, IMO.[/quote]
I see that you constantly jump back and forth between DC vs Santee and DC vs Sky Ranch, depending on which fits your argument. How about comparing DC HH income , per capita income, home values, and education level to Sky Ranch? Why don’t you say DC has superior construction, floor plans, views and lots compared to Sky Ranch? We all know and agree Sky Ranch is not your average Santee. Why not leave your average Santee out of the comparison and compare it to just Sky Ranch. If you’re bringing average Santee into comparison, you should also bring in average Allied Garden when compare to Del Cerro and average Chula Vista as well.
BTW, nothing price can’t fix. Tell me, how much would a 4100 sq-ft on 1/3+acre with a view goes [/quote]
AN gets it. We are talking about substitution not the overall community. That seems clear? Why is it inconceivable that Santee can now and in the future,have increasing number pockets of quality/value compared to SOME HOMES in ALL OF DEL CERRO and improve for housing stock and quality of life, on the whole, inclusive of those pockets?
Del Cerro is not uniformly, large amazing, problem free houses on great lots. Like I said, same Southern California … and please don’t even try with the “closer to the beach and La Jolla, closer to God stuff”. Not everybody cares to the point where those are significant factors(If you actually can live in a beach front house in La Jolla, and want to, that’s different).
Bearish girl, you defended Clairmont which has many below average houses, is stuck between Linda Vista an actual landfill dump,light industrial/ industrial supply, a million commuters, an airport,borderline ghetto apartments, inner city like high schools, dingy strip malls,sleaze bars, car lots and a heck of a lot of density including transient and semi-transient people. It’s the same argument. Yes, some place in Clairmont could still be a better substitution for other places for some people,including Del Cerro, so could Santee.
BTW,I wasn’t aware that there was a large quantity of un-zoned properties in Santee. Do you have a list or something like that? Those shoddy looking industrial places in Santee and Lakeside provide invaluable service to the region and yours truly BTW. I love them.
