San Diego has a long way to go before downwtown is anything like SF or Manhattan. I agree with you peace. But a townhouse in Manhattan? I could never afford one. A friend of mine goes to grad school at NYU and he rents a room in a 3 story house owned by a jewish couple. His rent is $1000 for a 9×10 room. The house is nice but it’s old and musty — could use restoration.
As far as San Diego goes, it’ll take a while to build a community downtown, perhaps 30 years.
