Hey Carlsbadliving,
Have you ever heard of a “high-end” Walmart? I’m willing to bet this thing is gonna end up as an eyesore resulting in more traffic congestion. Big box retailers ALWAYS result in much higher congestion than smaller zoned retail. I’ve heard of other big box retailers using techniques like this before. Walmart is especially adept at it. Once they have zoning approval, this “high-end” Walmart will end up with a slightly nicer facade. It will be identical every other Walmart in every other way!!

Carlsbad is becoming way overdeveloped and looking more and more like Oceanside. No offense to you Oceanside residents. Aren’t you concerned about your “Carlsbad living” lifestyle. If you are a homeowner, aren’t you concerned about your property value? I believe many would be less inclined to purchase property in NE Carlsbad. At what point would you take a stand if you saw your hometown going down a sh*t hole.
