Sure it will increase in value, but I don’t see it being a great place to live in 20 years. IMO, it will always be the least desirable coastal community in San Diego Co, and maybe even in Socal.
I agree with pollution being a big problem, and don’t see it being better in 20 years.
Don’t know the market down there, but if your 10 blocks off the beach or more, aren’t you paying the same as you would pay in Clairemont for a 1200 sqft SFR.
Not that I’m a fan of Clairemont, but I think it has a bigger upside in 20 years.
