Thank you for your RANT, treehugger. I agree with all of it. SD County has enough housing to last thru at least three more boom-and-bust cycles at which time the remaining employers here who have consolidated operations here or elsewhere in the state, country or world will be controlling the few local companies/installations with FT secure jobs.
As I have stated here repeatedly, it is not the job (and shouldn’t be the goal) of those running CA’s coastal cities and counties to approve endless housing permits into oblivion just for the sake of attracting new residents. We don’t need any new residents, and, in any case, if they move here and want to buy a residence, they can shop the resales on offer to them at the time.
CA coastal areas within ~eight miles of the coast were never set up for the young “worker-bee set” to live a luxurious, carefree life of their dreams. They are actually “move up” areas for those who have already paid their dues in life and/or for those who are otherwise financially secure.
