Good point about the apartment complexes along Sierra Avenue. A lot of them are too close for comfort to the bluff and will require expensive seawalls in the future. One can only imagine the assesment for each unit in those complexes. The age and unexpected maintenance costs of the complexes brings about high periodic special asessments for electrical, roofing, balconies etc. All this and most of the units aren’t even occupied full time, so the two week a year and part time residents are subsidizing the full timers who probably don’t put much wear and tear on the complex at all since they’re the cranky and conscientous type.
The beach below these complexes is one of the best in North County in my opinion and the access is superb. Sierra does need to be cleaned up a little but in a way those trailer parks do remind me of when Solana Beach used to be a sleepy beach town. I hope it remains relatively low key in the future.
