Top 10 SD County Zips for 2-year appreciation

“ And getting harrassed by homeless and van lifers is part of daily life. Or come up the coast and enjoy pristine uncrowded, undeveloped beaches owned and preserved by the state”

You’re being a dickhead again. Cut it out.

In fact I am going to just block you. All you do is spam and troll for referrals and crap on everyone and everything other your neighborhood. I will politely ask you to do the same and avoid polluting threads I create.

OK kettle. Do you actually go back and read your posts? Every post anyone makes you try to make about yourself and how great OB or look alike beach areas are doing. You are the biggest homer here! But sadly that is not where the real data shows the most action is. I actually follow these things close enough to know whats really going on all over SD and have shared that for years. Its kinda funny, kinda sad. I dont live in Mira Mesa but I follow it and promote it because I see a great future for it. Ive never lived there and never will. I dont live in San Marcos and never will but it is on a market beating trajectory also. If I was trolling for referrals Id be kissing a$$ instead of kicking it. You have polluted my threads for years. Your post makes me laugh

I get it. Some may dismiss you as snooty but I don’t. I understand where you’re coming from. You’re coastal and will take the plusses and minuses that come with it. Me, I’d prefer to hang back a bit from the coast and rub elbows with more of the middle class. I have to tell you that has bit me in the ass a bit too…big dust-ups with a neighbor. But I’m a scrapper and can hold my own. Came out on top.

20 years ago I could see my trajectory and where we’d end up financially. I could have moved to the coast and been lower-middle class there – and have my kids feel sub-par. Or move to San Marcos and be upper-middle class or better and have my kids feel at least as good as the others, and probably better than that. I chose the latter.

Do I regret it? Nah. My kids are on trajectories to beat mine. When I’ve expressed regrets on my life, they’ve told me that the values and opportunities I’ve given them far outweigh any regrets I may have. That has made me a happy camper.

I don’t think you are wrong, I don’t think I’m wrong. Just different perspectives. That’s what makes the world fun.

I agree with everything except for:

I’d rather go back to being sleepy San Diego myself.[/quote]
I like where we’re heading and don’t mind just being the next Silion Valley. Maybe BioTech Valley?[/quote]

BioTech Valley is probably more accurate.

I have read that biotech expansion is pushing computer tech north to RB and Carlsbad.

So maybe both?[/quote]

Makes a lot of sense. Tech can go anywhere and there is lots of nice housing and good schools up this way. Life sciences needs lab space of which there is lots more in Golden Triangle area plus access to labs at UCSD, Salk, teaching hospitals etc. I think our future is more tied to life sciences than tech.[/quote]

That is probably true. But I think tech is a much larger field than life sciences so that’s why I think they are on equal footing. Could I be wrong? Sure, but I don’t give a f*ck. I’m about to head for the cashier’s window and kick back in retirement. It’s all umbrella drinks and sunglasses from here on out.

I think you’re right tech has been a much larger field but i think we are heading into a period of amazing progress in life sciences. I think it’s gonna grow faster than tech at least around here if not worldwide. Hope I’m around long enough to see a lot of that. So scientists get busy and keep me around a bit longer:)

Absolutely and IRL I’m anything but snooty. For me if I’m gonna live in CA I’m gonna live close to the ocean. When i moved here i first lived in RB. I spent every weekend driving to the coast. I grew up spending summers at the Jersey Shore and whether i get to the beach or not being close gives me a good feeling inside. I said if I’m gonna live in RB i might as well move to Phoenix. But that’s just me, i like to be coastal and near beautiful open spaces which is why NCC works for me. Others like different settings and that’s fine. I have no bias against any area and just follow what’s going on in as much of SD as I’m able to.

And My family and i have experienced some of what you sought to avoid. I was and still am willing to put up with that to be here. When I’m gone i hope my kids feel the same about this place as i do but if not so be it. Good post svelte.

And i had an awful neighbor for 17 years who surprised me and moved to Idaho last year thinking he was cashing out on top. It’s changed my life for him to be gone. Out with racist, self centered bigot, in with wonderful young couple (Asian and Eastern European) from Bay Area who are a joy to have next door. And i texted him a Zillow screenshot so he could see he left over $600k on the table in less than a year 🙂

Thankfully, I think most of us here love where we have chosen to live in San Diego. Although we have family everywhere in the County and elsewhere, absolutely no other location interests us, other than where we are, as far as our primary goes. Hopefully, that’s true for everyone–so there doesn’t really seem to be a need to argue about those choices–everyone should just enjoy their chosen place in the sun!
