Getting back to the topic though. DZ seems to like to pick and choose one thing and hone in on it. What he/she/they keeps missing is its a lot of things. This place we call home has changed. Yes i know the whole country has changed but here specifically has changed more in ways that arent going back. I remember having these conversations with CA renter over a decade ago trying to convince her that Encinitas/S Carlsbad was becoming a different place. Now even she would have a hard time arguing against that. When I came here 30 years ago you couldnt get dinner after 9 oclock and it was mostly a working class town. Today its home to a Tech Unicorn, a 5* oceanfront resort and a restaurant on its way to a Michelin * to name a few things. It doesnt take hundreds of new buyers to keep this market strong it takes a small handful each month. We have become the Newport Beach of SD County. Even during the downturn the wealthy were flocking there and they will keep coming here. There is no stopping the flow. And its not just my little corner of SD. Look at MM! Last year in 1st 10 weeks there were no $1M+ sales and this year there are 17! Once 3Roots is firmly entrenched there will be more wealth there. Carmel Valley you ask? Hello UCSD life science and tech boom! Of course those are just one thing and there is far more driving each of these areas upward and onward. I have no issue seeing things correct elsewhere much more but thats not my problem. Will things slow down and eventually turn down here. Sure they will. But this place we call home is irreversably changed and will fare better. Im happy for all of you who capitalized on the opportunity of a lifetime! Sorry for they/them that missed the boat
