Participant[quote=poorgradstudent]Definitely want to avoid I-15, hence the lack of excitement about Escondido.[/quote]
In my experience, I-15 is not too bad any more. Could be because of new carpool lanes, could be because of the recession. I’ll take I-15 over I-805 any time.

ParticipantWe’ve always favored smaller houses (for the money) in older neighborhoods, close to work and fun (beach/downtown). When we lived in San Diego we were within 10-15 minutes of everything in the Clairemont, Bay Park and Point Loma areas (at various different times over the years renting and owning). Even with kids we avoided the newer ‘burbs, in favor of post-war ‘burbs.

Participant[quote=poorgradstudent][quote=4plexowner]that factor would keep me out of La Mesa / San Carlos / etc if I had to commute I-8 east between 4 and 6 PM everyday
I’ve never seen I-15 north NOT be like that north of Mira Mesa Blvd regardless of the time of day so any housing north of there is of zero interest to me – likewise for I-5 north of the merge
life is too short to sit in traffic[/quote]
There are people who get to leave work before 5:30? Lucky! 🙂
