bg – the comment on traffic was on the assertion that brian keeps making that families should move to the city. (Which he has defined pretty much as downtown – since he considers kensington to be the burbs). Then you made a comment that people could live in the city and commute north.
My point was that there *used* to be a reverse commute to northern burbs – but not anymore. The 805 corridor backs up, northbound, in the morning south of 52. The 5 corridor backs up around PB/Balboa, north bound, in the morning.
Times change and so do demographics. When my parents purchased our house in UC in 1966 it was truly “the sticks”. 2 freeways later (52 and 805 came after we moved in) it’s considered very close in, very central. In the past the 15 corridor was sleepy bedroom communities – now it’s got job centers.
