[quote=The-Shoveler]Most of todays CA lizard lands become tomorrows Job centers.
I have been around long enough to see it at least in three times in three locals, each further out from the other.[/quote]
I understand, Shoveler. But if those Lizardland Biz Parks didn’t exist because where they sit was still dominated by lizards, then those companies proffering the “new jobs” would have simply stayed in their old digs in dtn SD, Kearny Mesa, SD MV, UTC/Golden Triangle/SV or the urban OC.
Commercial properties in the established biz areas of SD Co/OC were displaced and often left vacant for months/years after local companies moved out to Lizardland en masse.
It’s a case of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, in the heart of CA’s renowned “SV” are a case in point. Big biz stays put and even expands its local “campus” to take up a good portion of a small city.
This region’s new hires flock around the area of their jobs searching for resales/rentals. Those who are savvy, lucky and can manage their budgets wisely find local housing. Those that have been financially prudent can actually buy a residence. Those that refuse to accept the housing that is there commute long and arduous distances every day and/or leave their jobs prematurely, due to their arduous commutes caused by their non-acceptance of the local housing that is on offer.
I don’t buy a SV new hire’s story (who has just accepted a job in the highest-paying region in the nation) that he/she “can’t afford” to live there. “Suitable” housing is in the eye of the beholder.
With massive natural open space (NOT desert, as in SD County) permanently established several decades ago by their wise PTB, these counties offer a quality of life that is bar none.
All is as it always has been and should be in ALL CA coastal counties.
