Personally, I kind of like little hubs of activity.
One of my complaints about North County (and I don’t include Carmel Valley in NC – it is more mid county) is that there is little nightlife…not enough density anywhere to get anything really vibrant going. Its sorta developing on Carlsbad Village Drive, but that’s still pretty weak.
If we could develop small, dense focal points throughout the north county I think everyone would benefit. Say one in Carlsbad/Oceanside area, one in Escondido/RB area. It looks like San Marcos may beat them to the punch though with the development plans around Cal State San Marcos.
I don’t particularly like living in high density, so I absolutely want large lot SFRs around me…but there are times when we want to go out and mingle with the masses. It would be great if we didn’t have to go all the way downtown to find a significant amount of nightlife.
