This morning I went for a run up to the cross, and on my way back down the hill, ran down Mount Soledad Rd. If any of you are thinking of swinging by to see if you can see anything, don’t bother, everything is still blocked off. All you can see is the tops of some boring machines poking up in the distance.
You can however, run/walk/drive along Palomino until it turns into Desert View and this loop is open all the way around. (This is the area just downhill from the slide.) Nothing much to see there though. Although I did notice that Desert View has houses built on an extremely steep slope, and hmmmm… there are cracks in the road here too. It’s hard to believe that people have actual built houses on this hillside to be honest.
As to property prices in La Jolla, it’s worth noting that one house that was pending in the Ridgegate community, right up the hill a bit, just fell out of escrow and is back on the market as of today.
Think there might be a relationship between the slide and the next couple of days a buyer backs out of a house just up the hill a bit? Seems likely to me…
