Yes all of north county can be considered as bedroom community. I’m not denying that they are bedroom communities. What I was trying to say is that PQ is not a lower middle class area. I guess they were 30 years ago, but they no longer are. You might go to dt a lot, I rarely do. However, I do go to the beach a lot. Also, in my profession, there are not that many jobs down there. So, Chula is way too far for most who work up here.
SD is not like your typical east coast cities where most of the jobs are in downtown. Most of the high paying jobs are up here. I see Chula Vista diversity in housing stock is like Escondido. I would have loved to get a house with 1/2 acre lot, however, I won’t sacrifice commute time for it. I’m a commute snob, so the furthest I’ll tolerate is 15 minutes door to door, regardless of traffic. I used to live 3 blocks away from work.
