I’ve lived in San Diego for 25 years and you wouldn’t believe what it looked like about 15 years ago… The 76 was one lane each way, the 15 was like a ghost town and the 5 south was almost always light.

I now commute from Oceanside to La Jolla and back.. I hit traffic in the morning on 5 south starting at La Costa and ending around Villa De La Valley-Del Mar Heights but as some have noted – the I-5 north is more frustrating… no matter what time you leave it seems that it’s backed up from I-56 to Lomas Sante Fe .

I’m in a checkmate with my commute.. I don’t want to live down here in La Jolla or Del Mar, but no matter where I move north of those two places I’m still going to have to deal with that I-5 northbound traffic.

I work directly between the Sorrento Valley and Old Town stations – why is there not even a Mission Bay coaster stop???
