A lot of ghetto areas in SD are actually in really good locations relatively speaking.

pockets of it have been slowly gentrified, but head a block east, south, or north in the wrong direction and one could easily run into serious problems.
Homeless Mecca just down the road.
Drove down what used to be Crosby St. a few months ago, been decades since I took that road. What used to be Chuy's in a quonset hut and a couple of junkyards is now a full-on gentrified Latino hipster mecca.
know of a very very blue collar guy with a high school diploma at my work who scrapped with his wife to get their house over a decade ago and is now sitting on a nice pile of equity in a now gentrified neighborhood as he approaches retirement age.
upward mobility - done.
upward mobility - done.
yeah and there are a few surrounding communities that will probably do the same.
that neighborhood definitely has character. lots of good food spots and a couple cool local breweries as well. heard in the news that a Roscoe's chicken and waffles is gonna open on the main strip
9-10 years ago I lived in a 1bed 1bath apt near the Thorn St brewing tasting room, paid $900/month. i bet that place would rent for close to $2k a month now.
expensice food
breweries
Chicken and Waffles
all you need is a coffee shop and you have the 4 horsemen of the gentrification apocalypse.
same. Border X Brewing is awesome.
I saw some of Barrio Logan near the East Village that had been gentrified a while back, the next time I drove through there it looked like skid row - following the construction of Park 12 it seems the homeless were pushed in that direction near the 5.
My guess is the City of SD simply decided to sh!t on whoever had the least political pull, and that was BL. Read some articles about it and a lot of people were pissed off.
If Barrio Logan is going to gentrify where is the City going to shovel the homeless? Pushing them towards Balboa is a huge risk (fire) and any of the other neighborhoods in that are already partly gentrified and residential will raise stink.
I was wondering this myself as the San Diego homeless population has apparently increased by 10% in 2yrs.
I considered that option; how will working class Latinos in places like National City react to people camped out on sidewalks where their kids walk to school, men walking around their neighborhoods without pants on, and junkies shooting up in plainsight?
I mean it's easy for urbanite yuppies and DINKs to just hold their noses and scurry by while expressing their empathy...But nonwhite people who have kids? They tend to take a different attitude.
