[quote=flu]…How did this thread devolve into a discussion about race is beyond me…[/quote]
If you go back in the thread, flu, you will see that I took brian’s “bait,” where he tried to claim that the prevailing “image” of Chula Vista (among those county dwellers not familiar with the area) was that of “upper TJ” or “lower class Hispanics” or something of that nature. This is not the first or even second time that I’ve read this nonsense here.
I was simply stating that “lower class Hispanics” (and all other “races” (ethnicities) live EVERYWHERE in the county. No part of SD county is devoid of low-income families. Not even within the covenant.
Chula Vista does not deserve that “image” as a large proportion of its population is upper-middle class and even wealthy. This includes other south county areas as well, incl Imperial Beach, Bonita, Otay Mesa (Ocean View Hills) and even National City!
And are you aware that Coronado technically lies in “South County?”
The only difference between the many thousands professional workers who live in south county and those who live in utc, uc, cv, lj, mm, and north county, etc is that they are willing to commute further to tech/biotech jobs or their daily commute isn’t very far, if at all.
note: For illustrative purposes here, lower case initials (above) are not derogatory. They denote “communities of the City of SD.” By no means are they “jurisdictions” in their own right or have governments “exclusive” of the City of SD. Except for their individual geographic, topographic and architectural nuances, they are one and the same.
