[quote=sdcellar]Isn’t the real question, why is San Diego real estate so expensive relative to itself?

I always see these discussions of other cities or San Diego many years ago. What here got so damn much better in the last 8 or 9 years?

I mean I’m buying a house and I _still_ don’t know the answer. I think I blame mostly Qualcomm and maybe the biotechs.[/quote]
Most of us here will agree with you that SD hasn’t gotten that much better over the last 8-9 years, that’s why a lot of us are shooting for 2001-2003 nominal price. We’re saying w/ our checkbook that SD is not “so damn much better” today than 8-9 years ago, if anything, it’s right were it was 8-9 years ago.
