That’s what I love about the intertubes, you have to sort the wheat from the chaff. I’ve lived here for over ten years, and have watched the changes caused by removing the tolls, increased carrier basing, the daily road race that is closing time at North Island, and now the prospect of a tunnel.
Removing the tolls on the bridge has created an incremental increase in traffic that verges on breaking the camel’s back. The proposed tunnel would run from the end of the bridge to North Island, thus removing most of the island surface traffic from the thousands who commute daily.
If anything, a tunnel would increase property values in the third and fourth street areas. I noticed a lot of for sale signs over there this weekend. If there is a higher inventory there, I’d guess that it is because those tend to be the lower end properties on the island, so they’re the thin end of the wedge. When the Alt-A’s hit, the popcorn hopper will be overflowing here.
In closing, to all you Coronado haters, keep your dead beat, trash dumping, oil leaking, east county asses out of my beachfront community. I don’t care if you do call Ron Kubi.
