You proved my point and bolded what I wrote to make it even clearer. The Golden Triangle is the real white collar professional employment center.
I dont disagree downtown has grown and it clearly is the judical center but prop mgment, shipbuilders and airport workers are not white collar professionals.
When I talk about the Golden Triangle area I am also referring to the areas that lie just outside of it within a mile or two as this is the general area people are commuting to. In the Golden triangle area you have:
SAIC
QualComm
UCSD
Sharp Hospital
Children’s Hospital
Law Firm’s
Stock Brokerages
Scripps Hospital
VA Hospital
Green Hospital
Scripps Institute
Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical companies
Major military contractors (Raytheon etc)
Assorted Biotech/Medical Device/Pharmaceutical companies
Software Companies
Telecomm companies
Consulting firms
Investment Banking
I have missed plenty of others but this group comprises the vast majority of SD Counties largest employers (excluding the military of course).
I’m sure you know plenty of people who ride the trolley because that is your world. Its a bit of confirmation bias but outside of your world lies the most powerful economic engines of SD County.
