bg – the comment on traffic was on the assertion that brian keeps making that families should move to the city. (Which he has defined pretty much as downtown – since he considers kensington to be the burbs). Then you made a comment that people could live in the city and commute north.

My point was that there *used* to be a reverse commute to northern burbs – but not anymore. The 805 corridor backs up, northbound, in the morning south of 52. The 5 corridor backs up around PB/Balboa, north bound, in the morning.

Times change and so do demographics. When my parents purchased our house in UC in 1966 it was truly “the sticks”. 2 freeways later (52 and 805 came after we moved in) it’s considered very close in, very central. In the past the 15 corridor was sleepy bedroom communities – now it’s got job centers.

Commuting from SD’s urban core to and from an employer situated to the north would be a breeze on I-5 or SR-163 as the “rush hour” would be on the opposite side of the freeway.[/quote]
When’s the last time you’ve done this? I can guarantee you that traffic goes north in the morning and south in the afternoon. So you are sitting in traffic and not the other way around. The only way for you to be against traffic is if you live around Mira Mesa area and work in the urban core.

I have to agree with AN here. In the 80’s I lived downtown and commuted to Oceanside. This was before a lot of businesses moved to Carlsbad and it was definitely a reverse commute. I went 40 miles in 40 minutes because it was a 95% freeway commute and the freeway moved in my direction and was a parking lot in the opposite direction.

That changed signficantly in the 90’s… It’s now a parking lot in both directions during commute times. I have friends who live in my neighborhood (University City) where one person commutes to Carlsbad – it’s NOT a reverse commute – it’s stop and go traffic as they head north in the morning, and south in the evening. My husband had a job near El Camino and Carmel Valley Rd in 2001/2002… it took him 30 minutes to go less than 10 miles because of traffic.

Speaking spanish is very helpful for anyone who owns or manages a restaurant. It’s also useful for builders and construction supervisors. Since those are both businesses that can pay nicely if the business is successful, then learning spanish might be a good career move if you’re an entrepreneur looking to own your own restaurant or construction company.

For the record – as a mom who chooses to work outside the home because being a SAHM is too hard for me – you work!!!! I don’t have the temperament or skill set to be a successful SAHM. I have total admiration for those that do it well.
