I live in Cardiff and work off of Genessee and I-5. Ask if me if I’d rather make the commute down south on 805, and I’d say hell no. I mean if we are comparing commutes, then for my income range Sorrento Valley and UTC are less commute time. I decided a few minutes more (and generally 30 minutes or less) to travel up north 12 miles. La Jolla is out of the question, but getting to the surface streets after work, isn’t exactly easy. Two non-coastal communities that are less commute time are Rancho Penasquitos and Sabre Springs. In any case, the I-5 traffic I encounter is a slow down around the area of Via De La Valle everyday and this happens in both directions. Often this area is slow on weekends as well.
