Josh, why do you think people will leave FL? If the job is there, wouldn’t they stay? Also, why doesn’t San Diego do more to lure biotech companies here? We really need to invest in jobs other than real estate, lending, construction, and tourism. We need to bring more biotech and high tech companies here. What is preventing San Diego from doing so?
Perhaps SD is too broke to offer incentives. Can you imagine how SD’s budget will look in 3 years, after people have their properties reappraised to lower their taxes, and sales taxes keep falling? Missed property tax payments will hurt too. The cities get part of the property tax money, so this will hurt San Diego.
I’m thinking that cities like Carlsbad or Poway (lot of space in the Poway Business Park) could try to bring companies here.
We really need to revive our economy. What’s keeping us from doing so? Josh, Lindi, anyone else, any thoughts?
