Let me ask you, svelte … would YOU live on one of those streets overlooking the covered-over landfill which was used for 14+ years? How about about one or two streets away??

Actually, I did just that.
**when I lived in chula vista!!!!**
yes, I lived just a couple of blocks from the old dump there! And it didn’t bother me at all. Not in the least. Nor did it bother the person who bought when we sold.
And if property values are hurt by a former dump in San Marcos, don’t you think they are hurt equally bad by an old dump in CV?
Not to mention the auto parts yards and the prison on the southern edge of Chula Vista. Which I wasn’t going to mention except for your insistence at trying to beat SM up for having a former landfill on the southern edge of town….[/quote]
That explains everything, svelte. You’re a former 91911-bordering-on-Otay-Mesa-dweller . . . one of THE most LOW INCOME parts of Chula Vista AND 91911! I could probably guess the condo complex, too, lol ….
In case you were unaware, those “wrecking yards” and “prison” you speak of are in Otay Mesa (92154), NOT Chula Vista. It is an annexation of the City of SD. But alas, since you lived on the “edge” (literally and figuratively speaking :=D) of Chula Vista, they were probably your neighbors, lol! And if was the Otay Landfill you are referring to, as far as I am aware, it is still open! Congrats for selecting the best South County ‘hood and complex for yourself, svelte! No wonder you have a particular “image” of Chula Vista! Did you walk your dog(s) in the river bottom, too? Considering where you were living, I understand everything now. You obviously don’t have much experience visiting residents in South County who actually have MONEY! That much is clear here. Those areas (many, MANY of them) are NIGHT and DAY from your old “haunt,” lol …. And no, they are not all in the “eastern edge of town.”
Sorry your experience living in Chula Vista was sub-par. You did it to yourself.
Edit: For the record, I live about 16+ miles from the “prison.” As the “crow flies” it is about 12 miles. But you can’t get there from here by vehicle without doing the 905 thing.
