birmingplumb, you posted on another thread that you are “alarmed” by bars in windows. You should know that often they were installed long ago and never taken off (removing them requires extensive stucco repair). Don’t be swayed by their existence. I’ve seen “bars” on homes valued at $800K and up and have personally owned three large homes with them already installed. I elected to leave them. They are much less annoying than dealing daily with an alarm system (esp a monitored “talking” one). Since neighborhood policing took effect within SDPD in 1975 and problem oriented policing took effect in 1989, these new policies eliminated a lot of the open drug trade in public (which spawned related crimes). Hence, property and home-invasion-type crimes have gone down dramatically in the last 20 years. These policies place officers in their “home turf” who grew up in a particular area and may very well be raising their current families there. Thus, many know EVERYTHING and EVERYONE there is to know about certain blocks, alleyways, small businesses, etc in a particular area. That’s the best kind of eyes you can have.
Actually, ALL of the above areas are safe to live in and ALL are on one or more public transportation routes. 92115 has a trolley line running thru it but is not the quietest area as it is full of students who attend SDSU. 92102 has an older resident base and is actually the quietest area of the five. I myself would live in ALL those areas except 92105.
Good luck with your son’s Section 8 voucher! I have a couple of “clients” who have been told by the County HHSA that their applications for County Medical Services (CMS) will be processed July 1. Each are just a bit short of qualifying for Medicare.
birmingplumb, July 1 marks the new fiscal year and new budgets for the State of CA and its cities/counties.
Qualifications: 36-year resident of SD Metro/South County and a local criminal justice system “retiree.”
