If I had the millions to buy beach/ocean PB property
Then I sure as hell would not buy there but rather in a nicer beach area such as Encinitas or Solana Beach. Nicer people, no crackhead or tweaker ex-cons on the loose and mellow place. Plus I find the beaches cleaner and the area more scenic beauty. Thats my dream spot if I ever hit it big- an ocean front or overlook the ocean in Encinitas or Solana Beach or even Malibu Canyon. That would be mighty sweet!
I had fun a few times in PB when I first lived in San Diego but it got old quick with the insane crowds, drunks, gang fights on the beach and just not my thing anymore. At least Ocean Beach is more laid back and hippy. Never see fights breakout in mellow OB!
Just that the homes are falling apart and decrepit in Ocean Beach and Point Loma and who wants to pay a million bucks for a shack?
