Quick glance of map shows only 2 ways to get out w/ both entrances on the south side …

That’s not the way I read the map…click on “explore Merriam Mountains”…you’ll see a road leading from Overlook to Camino Mayor to Lawrence Welk Court out the north side of the project.

We considered buying a house on Lawrence Welk Court a couple of years ago…right now it ends as a court (thus the name) and there is virtually NO traffic. I figured it would be too tempting to hook LWC to whatever development would be done in the adjacent hills (making it a ‘court’ no longer), and it looks like I was right.

What’s too far now, won’t be 20 years from now. Much closer and cooler than Temecula.

Back in the 1970s Mira Mesa was far.

20 years ago we didn’t even think 4S.

I was talking to a friend who works for a major builder. He said technology is making it easier to build and to grade. I’ll ask for specifics next time.

Mira Mesa is still far if you work in downtown or surrounding areas. There’s still only 24 hours a day today as it was 40 years ago. Those who wouldn’t mind commuting 45+ min. one way to work did so 40 years ago as they do today. What I’m trying to say is, time doesn’t appreciate over time. You don’t get more time with inflation. There’s a limit in how many minutes someone is willing to commute to work. Unless you’re predicting there will be a Carmel Valley/Sorrento Valley like business area up in that area in 20 years, it would still be too far for someone to work in SV/CV and live up there. That distance is similar to someone living in Chula Vista and work in Carmel/Sorrento Valley.

BTW, I have no doubt that technology have greatly improve the building process. I’m trying to say that zoning is more important than tech when it comes to building more homes in areas closer to the center of the city. There are plenty of land east of SD. Just look at how far LA expanded to the east and you’ll see that SD still have plenty of room to grow. Many people who live in LA/OC will consider MM/Scripps/Poway/PQ/RB/etc. as close to the beach. While us San Diegans will say those are inland areas. Far/near is all relative. Is this what you mean when you say what’s far today won’t be consider far 20 years from now? I.E. SD will become the next LA in term of sprawl? I sincerely hope SD won’t become LA.

very rough terrain for sure. took a look and compared this to SEH and 4S and Carmel Valley, and Stonebridge, this beats them all. average elevation of 1000 to 1500 feet above sea level.
