[quote=UCGal]FWIW – San Diego county has a bigger population now. Life marches on. A factor in my decision to retire is the fact that the north 805 construction, and the huge amount of traffic out of Sorrento Valley sometimes made my 6.5 mile commute take over an hour. That project won’t be done till 2017. I didn’t blame the workers, or the folks commuting. I just stopped commuting myself.
What do you propose to stop growth you don’t like? Build a wall and don’t let anyone else move in? Lets get real… that’s not going to happen.[/quote]Very well said. If you don’t build appropriate amount of housing for the population growth, what will simply happen is prices will sky rocket. The kids who grew up there won’t be able to buy near their parents anymore, unless they got a great career or their parents help them out. Or worse yet, they’ll continue to live in their parents house and you start to have 6-8 cars per house. you also start to have spraw to exurb areas, which will increase traffic and smog.
I’m actually rooting for the Carroll Canyon masterplan and Stone Creek masterplan to be built out. That will increase Mira Mesa’ population by 17%. But I’m glad they got it right in making the builder fully build out Carroll Canyon Road to stretch from 805 to 15 before they let them build any housing. This will prevent NIMBY-er to move in and mess it all up like they did in UC with Regents Road.
