Commute from Carlsbad down to La Jolla, and then for your husband to downtown is in a single word…. UGLY! I would think an hour each way.
The I-5 through north county is very backed up going south in the morning and going north in the evening. Expect speeds of 10-20mph the whole way.
Take a look at this traffic map during a typical commute time and I think you will see lots of red on it on the I-5

Unless you really want to spend hours on the freeway, I wouldn’t suggest Carlsbad.
