    I can appreciate what you are saying but the way I see it there is 2 dynamics that go on in PB

    1) A 2 bedroom rental is not for 2 people but in most instances is split amoung 4. That commands a higher rent.

    2) In my opinion there is not that much that is differnt about PB and La Jolla. I will qualify that. The location is what you are paying for. The climate in La Jolla and the climate in PB are identical. Both are beach front areas. What I believe you will see over the next 20 years is that homes in PB will be torn down and Mansions will go up. Those who can not afford La Jolla or can not find a location they like will look to the next nearest local and will buy the land and build up their property. This is especially true with properties along the water. Therefore this has the effect of propping up prices.

    Now You can cut PB up into different parts. Properties that approach Balboa vs properties along the water will respond differently. JMTC

    If I were a tourist and half blind, then maybe I would agree w/your logic. But if I have a million + dollars burning a hole in my pocket and wanted to live along the coast and couldn’t (which I think you can) find a rowhouse several blocks away from the beach in La Jolla, Del Mar, Cardiff, Solana Beach or even Encinitas, I still would have a hard time justifying P.B.

    I know a cop that works in L.J. and P.B. When they designate him to work in L.J. he spends the day responding to unwarranted home alarm calls that go off b/c people forgot to turn them off. He’s bored b/c there’s NOTHING going on in L.J.

    When he has to work in P.B. it’s non-stop trouble.

    There’s a difference between P.B. and L.J. You can dress up your house to look nice in P.B., but it’s NOT L.J. and it doesn’t matter how close you are to their zip code.

    Just had to satisfy my own curiosity. Saw some brand-new row homes in Birdrock for 999k and a pretty nice place here: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-086013067-1475_Caminito_Solidago_La_Jolla_CA_92037

    Many more in that price range just in LJ. I’ve seen prices come down in LJ. Yet, P.B. sells million dollar row houses. Go figure.

    It’s really easy to find houses for sale for ludicrous prices. I see them every day.

    About PB, I’ve seen some crazy stuff there. Once I saw a guy walking, talking on a cell phone and a gang of thugs ran up, punched him in the face (laying him out) then yelled “don’t talk on the cell phone!” Another time I saw a group of guys j-walk in front of a car. The car honked, they flipped him off, and the driver got out– a dude with one arm!– and he started waving a gun around! I ducked into an alley to avoid stray bullets, and continued walking… I saw a cop arresting a bawling girl for DUI and I tried to tell the cop that a one-armed man in a white miata was waving a gun at j-walkers… the cop laughed and the bawling dui girl laughed. I continued walking. Then I saw a bunch of guys (about 12 of them) actually lift up the tail-end of a parked pickup truck and turn it 90 degrees so it was blocking the road. Good times.

    Once a totally hot young lady randomly came up and hugged me tightly then said “thanks, I needed that”. I’m not complaining about this one.

    Anyhoo, if I were a millionaire rapper or a pro ball player I just might buy a place in pb to hang out with the honeys… later I’d go home to RSF for some rest. Also, as a volleyball player and surfer I’d love to have a house near South Mission. AVP pros play there.
