UTC Westfield overhaul

[VanMorrisonFan]

patientlywaiting hit the nail on the head – affordability.

In Pasadena we have a retail center called Paseo Colorado, which is very upscale. They built five or six stories of apts. above the two-level retail complex. The apartments are sky high in price. I asked someone who lived there what it was like to live there and he said, “A lot of times it’s very noisy.” That is what I would not want – lot’s noise, especially into the night.

If I were a student in San Diego, I’d much rather live on the UCSD campus! Imagine being in Torrey Pines – the smell and the sight of the ocean so close to you. I love riding my bike up from the Village in La Jolla and going right by the University. The Mall is east of the freeway, much farther (further?) from the ocean

There’s residential areas right next to UTC right now… practically on top of it. Torrey Pines Village is practically in the Red Robin parking lot and wraps all the way behind the ice rink and food court. And then there are condos by the Sears garage and parking structure. I could easily see condos going on top of the mall there.

As for the comment about what students could afford to live there. That’s pretty funny. Lots of rich parents pay for huge rents all over UTC and La Jolla. It amazes me that those areas are some of the most expensive places to live in the country, and there are TONS of college kids living around there.

BTW, I had the unfortunate experience of living in Torrey Pines Village when I first moved here. Not for me, but some people love it.

RE Sears tools: way overpriced. I bought a set of 8 ratcheting wrenches for $60 not long ago. I saw a similar set at Costco yesterday for $19, they appeared to be of equal if not better quality.

Will Costco allow you to walk in with an old, obviously abused and broken wrench, replace it for free right then and there without hesitation or documentation all while apologizing that the tool failed? It’s hard to beat how much Sears stands behind the Craftsman hand tool line. Costco/Harbor Freight/etc are great if you want a cheap set of tools. If you want a complete set of tools that you will use for decades, will stay complete and can get replaced for free as quickly as you can drive to Sears, buy Craftsman 🙂
