[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=AN] Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas, Vista, San Marcos are all cities, not suburbs. Carmel Valley, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Mira Mesa, Clairemont, etc. are suburbs. They all don’t have true town centers.[/quote]
I agree.
I’m however just waiting for someone to say that those neighborhoods you mentioned are not suburbs. They are within the city of San diego. haha…[/quote]
If it is within the same county I think you can call it a suburb of the main City (one man’s city is another man’s suburb LOL)
Even Simi Valley is considered a suburb of L.A. by almost anyone you ask and it is in Ventura county LOL.
200k population is considered a big city in most states, in Socal it’s a suburb.
