Change comes much slower than people expect but it picks up inertia once it gets going and 3Roots will be the start of a big shift IMO.
I moved to Encinitas in 1997 and it was a pretty sleepy place back then. There was only one restaurant (The Roadhouse) that we could go out and have a nice sit down meal at 9 PM. That all started to change (albeit slowly) shortly thereafter with the arrival of communities like La Costa valley and Encinitas Ranch.
I started in real estate about 20 years ago. At the time I looked around at where I lived and saw everything in place for a momumental change. My friends and colleagues would laugh when I would say we have some bumps ahead but long term this place will become the Newport Beach of SD. I dont think there is any doubt any more that is where we are headed.
When I look at MM I see everything in place for a monumental change there also. Not a beach community but Irvine/Costa Mesa is the future of MM IMO
