That said, I think “pockets” of SD are suffering while wealthy coastal areas definitely are not. I was in Encinitas recently on a Tues night and went to an average restaurant that had a 40min wait. The upscale Otay Mesa shopping center wasn’t very busy, but still had quite a few shoppers- who knows if they are buying and I’d never been there before so can’t say if its ever packed. The restaurants were packed with people eating out.
