[quote=Eugene][quote]Living in UC, she can literally come home at lunch and spend 45-50 mins at home and get back to her pkg space at UCSD before her “hour” is up![/quote]
At lunch, yes, assuming she lives near the Regents exit and works in the south end of the campus. In the evenings, IIRC the Gilman onramp is metered, 5 south from Genesee to Gilman is congested, and 5 to 52 ramp is stop and go, so it can take a while to get home. For the same money I’d rather commute to Carmel Valley from UCSD than to UC.
But for them at least it makes sense to look at this option. For most engineering types who work in the triangle or in Sorrento Valley, rush hour commute to UC is quite horrible. And even a regular hour commute is not pleasant. I recall checking out a house on Scripps Street a couple of years ago. It took me 15 minutes to get there door-to-door (3 miles as the crow flies). During rush hour, that could be 30+ minutes.[/quote]
Eugene, I know the red lights on those wide UTC intersections are long and they turn red again fairly fast. That’s why I stated a 5-10 mins commute to/from SFR’s in UC. But you’re right, the buyer would have to work on the south end of the campus to get to/from in this time frame.
Do you know any details about funneling those throngs of young workers with families onto the 56 westbound in the morning?? Is it two vehicles per green (blinking light) on the fwy entrance ramp(s)? If so, what is the time frame to UCSD from Carmel Country Ranch (new development), in your estimation??
