[quote=sdrealtor]. . . The truth is a reltively small portion of the population cares about the commute to downtown. Who works downtown besides lawyers and some municipal employees? When piggs refer to a short commute most are referring to the Golden Triangle area which is the real white collar professional employment center in San Diego not downtown.[/quote](emphasis added)

sdr, 25 years ago this would have been true but not now. Dtn. SD has grown exponentially since then. Besides the City, County and law firms, there are now at least a thousand banking and financial workers, as well as property management firms, commercial RE firms, Navy civilians and airport workers situated dtn. There are also two large shipbuilders less than two miles south of dtn.

I have lawyers as “clients” myself and have worked in “law offices” all my life, including being a county employee which is similar to a municipal employee – LOL! There are many thousands of us in SD. Dtn. and Chula Vista and one yr. in Kearny Mesa are the only places I’ve ever worked.

I don’t know if you are aware of this, sdr, but the blue line trolley (from San Ysidro to Dtn. and reverse) is completely full for nearly two hours every weekday morning and again in the late afternoon, mostly with people who “care” about NOT commuting to dtn but riding the trolley instead 🙂 Don’t know about the other routes but know people who ride to/from dtn. every day on other routes.

I know of a few small law firms located in UTC area, but besides “high-tech” in Sorrento Valley, what other kinds of “white collar professional jobs” exist in the “Golden Triangle employment center.”

I too, find it interesting that “Powayseller” would now be working in real estate if she’s the “Doomsdayer” you say she is.
