[quote=sdrealtor]When I talk about the Golden Triangle area I am also referring to the areas that lie just outside of it within a mile or two as this is the general area people are commuting to. In the Golden triangle area you have:
SAIC
QualComm
UCSD
Sharp Hospital
Children’s Hospital
Law Firm’s
Stock Brokerages
Scripps Hospital
VA Hospital
Green Hospital
Scripps Institute
Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical companies
Major military contractors (Raytheon etc)
Assorted Biotech/Medical Device/Pharmaceutical companies
Software Companies
Telecomm companies
Consulting firms
Investment Banking[/quote]
sdr, last time I looked Sharp and Childrens were located in the middle of Kearny Mesa, no where near the “Golden Triangle.” Raytheon is even further away from the GT in Kearny Mesa and Chula Vista.
[quote=sdrealtor]I’m sure you know plenty of people who ride the trolley because that is your world. Its a bit of confirmation bias but outside of your world lies the most powerful economic engines of SD County.[/quote]
sdr, the trolley is not “my world.” I have been on the trolley during rush hour when my car has been in the shop and been in the vicinity of South Bay trolley stops during rush hr. and met people coming off the blue line at Civic Center many times but I have always driven downtown as I have remote controls to certain garages and paid meter cards.
In my mind, the most “powerful engines” (economic or not) in this state are judges and lawyers. Our six District Courts of Appeal and their respective Divisions along with the CA Supreme court actually make the entire state go ’round (directly and indirectly), believe it or not 🙂
sdr, you might be shocked at how much some of those so-called “blue-collar” port authority, shipyard workers and commercial property mgrs who work dtn. or near dtn. actually make!
I agree that living near the Golden Triangle is well and good for persons working in the fields of those businesses you mentioned.
