Most People will still want their own cars (They want to keep a large amount of stuff handy + most people don’t go to “1” store then go immediately back home etc…)
(Me) Cities (downtown’s) in Socal are almost laughable, there in no way more than say 3 or 5~ percent of the population can live there or even be really close.
Suburbs turn into large cities fairly quickly.
You can almost think of all SD county coastal as one large city (I-15 corridor not too far off). Carlsbad even Oceanside have been growing very fast.
What was the number I think 25% growth over the last 15-20 years? Anyway it does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.
