ParticipantIMO, in order the best zips to live in from what you have listed are, in order:
1. 92104
2. 92116
3. 92115
3. 92102 (tie with 92115)
4. 92105birmingplumb, you posted on another thread that you are “alarmed” by bars in windows. You should know that often they were installed long ago and never taken off (removing them requires extensive stucco repair). Don’t be swayed by their existence. I’ve seen “bars” on homes valued at $800K and up and have personally owned three large homes with them already installed. I elected to leave them. They are much less annoying than dealing daily with an alarm system (esp a monitored “talking” one). Since neighborhood policing took effect within SDPD in 1975 and problem oriented policing took effect in 1989, these new policies eliminated a lot of the open drug trade in public (which spawned related crimes). Hence, property and home-invasion-type crimes have gone down dramatically in the last 20 years. These policies place officers in their “home turf” who grew up in a particular area and may very well be raising their current families there. Thus, many know EVERYTHING and EVERYONE there is to know about certain blocks, alleyways, small businesses, etc in a particular area. That’s the best kind of eyes you can have.
Actually, ALL of the above areas are safe to live in and ALL are on one or more public transportation routes. 92115 has a trolley line running thru it but is not the quietest area as it is full of students who attend SDSU. 92102 has an older resident base and is actually the quietest area of the five. I myself would live in ALL those areas except 92105.
Good luck with your son’s Section 8 voucher! I have a couple of “clients” who have been told by the County HHSA that their applications for County Medical Services (CMS) will be processed July 1. Each are just a bit short of qualifying for Medicare.
birmingplumb, July 1 marks the new fiscal year and new budgets for the State of CA and its cities/counties.
Qualifications: 36-year resident of SD Metro/South County and a local criminal justice system “retiree.”

ParticipantI agree with BG, and I do hate to nitpick, but the dates and the credit are partially inaccurate, however the conclusion is correct. 1990-1993 was perhaps the highest crime rate locally and nationally. Yes, those programs were invented in the 70’s and 80’s, but they didn’t get implemented on a large scale until the early 1990’s, combined with three strikes and later DNA and technology (cameras, cashless society, cell phones) each took another bite, the trends all started heading downward in the mid 1990’s. Today, despite horrible economic conditions, we are in the 1960’s and in some categories, the 1950’s as far as crime statistics go. However the media exploded with technology at the same time, so the perception began to seperate from the reality at about the same time. Locally we lay claim to being the jeruselum of meth production and in the late 80’s, was its local heyday and it caused the creation of task forces that drove the production from the region, but it took a decade and we are still dealing with the aftermath but not on quite the scale. I hate to get into politics, those that know me, know this to be true. But it was during the Clinton years (1993-2001) that the community policing grants and the officer next door program were given priority(where cops got cut price housing in the worst areas but had to live there). Luckily, after the the terroist attacks and the funding drying up for domestic uses, the crime rates didnt reverse direction.
I don’t want to get into a protracted argument, just want to point out that we haven’t enjoyed low crime rates since the 70’s or 80’s, in fact those years and the early 90’s were the worst in history, that’s where the bars come from. But I do agree with BG, it’s nothing is like it once was, dont get too bent out of shape by the bars, I lived in two of those zip codes in the 80’s, I lost a couple of car steros, big deal.
Now Mexico, different story. What once was a fantastic place for the under 21 students on a budget and without a fake i.d., has gone to hell in a handbasket. Keep him out of there until they get a handle on their little “issues.”

ParticipantGod bless the both of you. I feel so confident now flying my son there to join his brother, sister and brother in law, 2 of whom just started their steamfitter apprenticeship and promise to look in on him until I get a buyout from Chrysler to eliminate my higher than 14 dollar wage. That said, after I find out the voucher amount July 1, and locate a few properties, I will post the results here and ask again about which one.Again thank you Temeculaguy/BG
