[quote=flu]Yes, but I doubt you can find all the biotech and engineering jobs in Yuma as you can in Sorrento Valley….And because you have all those biotech and engineering jobs, you have people spending that can support all the ancillary businesses in the neighborhood, restaurants,shops, day care, kids activity businesses, etc,etc,etc. And since you have mom and dad in techville, mom and dad probably ends up spending money on little jane on john to send them to thinkgs like kumon and piano/violin lessons, etc,etc because they want them to be little tiger moms and tiger dads when they grow up.
Hence why MM is where it is where it is.[/quote]Mira Mesa might be a bad example, since MM is a town w/in a big city, while Yuma is a city in and of itself. Although, the population is about the same. Might be better to compare Yuma with Palmdale or El Centro. Those are small town that’s not near major metro cities.
