But it seems like the only people who want this project don’t actually live in CV LOL.

I guess there is your answer.Put it in other people’s back yard.
PIIOPBY LOL[/quote]
Though I don’t live in CV, in my area, there are two new developments that are much denser and larger than One Paseo and I fully support them. So, it’s not about PIIOPBY. I would have loved to have the neighborhood strip mall be wiped out and put in something like One Paseo as well.[/quote]Well, that’s easy to explain…See in your hood, it’s run down and blighted. So new high density expensive developments would bring things up from being those ghetto neighborhoods. So it’s like East Palo Alto suddenly becoming more like Palo Alto.
In Carmel Valley, we like and expect exclusivity. In fact, if it was up to us, we would prefer instead of being called Carmel Valley, just drop “Carmel” and add a “The” and use the exclusive name “The Valley” (not just any Valley, but The Valley).
Better yet, we would like an entire primetime show dedicated to our zip code: “92130”. Just because in “92130”, everything is awesome.
With that, we don’t want a lot more people invading our exclusivity, especially a bunch of renters that can tap into our everything awesome 92130 school district and enjoy all the benefit that us 92130 homeowners enjoy after sacrificing arms/legs/foots/organs to be able to afford to live in our everything awesome zip code with our everything awesome schools.
We like our $400+ per sqft unaffordable home prices and our limited amount of rental communities so that we can maintain our total everything awesome exclusivity. Because, like I said, in “The Valley”, everything is awesome.

GuestGiven the high number of Asians in Carmel Valley, I am waiting for an 85C Bakery to open. People would then understand the meaning of traffic, haha..
Maybe Susan Lew will open a Dim Sum restaurant too.

Good chinese food will never be successful in high cost areas like Carmel Valley, the same way good Pho places will never be successful here too. The margins would be too low to be profitable in high rent areas, unless the prices were considerably jacked up. But if that happens, most chinese people wouldn’t go there because they expect the food to be cheap, so most likely the restaurant would end up being less authentic to cater to everyone else. That’s why even chinese people end up opening sushi places and japanese restaurants and why there are a lot of sushi places in Carmel Valley. Because the margins are much better and people are use to pay a lot for sushi. For whatever reason, people expect chinese food to be cheap and good, in as much as people expect things made in china or taiwan to be cheap, while people are use to paying a lot more for things from Japan (like digital camera lenses)

Maybe if you compare it to Carlsbad, but there are other areas in San Diego that have much more Asian people. Asians are only 14% of Carmel Valley. That’s only ~4000 people. There are ~28k Asian in Mira Mesa.
BTW there’s already an 85C Bakery in Clairemont. If they open another one, it would more likely be in Mira Mesa than Carmel Valley.

🙂 (…bad Lego Movie satire attempt)[/quote]flu, I think you got me mixed up with someone else. I live in a traffic nightmare area. Can’t be blighted and have crazy traffic at the same time. We’re way too dense to start with. Our houses also have way too many walls. So high density condo fits right in. Also, all those condos will definitely drive away all the lizards in my area. Maybe they’ll migrate to your area. So, sorry in advance if your area get infested by ghetto lizards.

Yes, I have been to the 85C in Clairemont. Some might consider it a “nightmare” traffic wise. I like the pastry there. The deserts are not too sweet and the prices very reasonable.
AN, you’re right about Mira Mesa. It’s newer than Clairemont/Kearny Mesa; it’s closer to people’s homes, close to Sorrento/UTC, so it’s a natural place for future commerce for the North San Diego region. Once more shopping centers are build businesses will come.
Flu, Irvine is a high rent area and there are lots of Asian restaurants up there. I get excited going to the mall off of Jamboree. The hordes of customers over there make for a better ambiance. You feel like the food is better when there are lots of people. San Diego is about a decade behind the OC.

Great. Home prices are now going to shoot up another 20% because, we’re even more awesome now.

Too late! “The Valley” is already taken by the San Fernando Valley. 🙂

It’s where “Valley Girls” come from…
They made a movie about it, too!

ParticipantOn the plus side, if this goes through, maybe you can be called a “val” too flu.
Just kidding, but we would have to remove the Dealers license plate frames if you bought your car from a SF-Valley dealer before going to the beach if you did not want your car damaged (back in the day).

Then, let’s just call it “The 92130”
February 23, 2015 at 11:03 AM #783253ParticipantLOL probably closer to “Encino” than Beverly Hills,
You need to be closer to “Rancho Santa Fe” to be compared to 90210. (which trust me is a good thing).
Only the servants kids go to public school in 90210.
February 23, 2015 at 1:38 PM #783257Guest[quote=spdrun]carli — the micro-apartment complex mentioned in the article is utter over-hyped shit. Anyone paying $2000-$3000 for a 260-360 square foot apartment should be given a free apartment in the Ward’s Island loony bin, considering that there are plenty of other buildings in safe, convenient areas where $3000/mo will get you 2-3x the apartment.
I’ve also seen the layouts. Fully 2/3 of the floor space is dedicated to bathroom and kitchen, because they decided to make ALL apartments in the building accessible rather than just some percentage. Furthermore, they designed the apartments with an entrance at the narrow side of the rectangle, which means they lose more space by having a “corridor” past the bath and kitchen.
Yuck![/quote]
The ceiling that drops down over the kitchen is stupid unless it serves a purpose. Wheelchair accessibility for all units is such a waste.
I’m fixin’ to remodel a 460sf apartment. Design and lighting are very important. No lamps, only sconces and ceiling lights.
My small apartment will have washer dryer (I will sneak it in) and dishwaher, which didn’t exist before.
Talking about density in San Diego. I can imagine a tower of micro apartments over UTC. Tech workers and students would happily rent. Put a pool and bar on the roof top and a gym just below. A supermarket on the first floor.

When I think of the San Fernando Valley of back in the day (like before 1996) I picture 1/2 country bumpkins.
February 23, 2015 at 1:54 PM #783259ParticipantNow they have a 15 foot solid wall around the Van Nuys Costco so the Gangbanger’s don’t shoot the customers.
