Everyone deserves to live at the beach tho.
In all seriousness, visit Reddit San Diego to get a feel of how the average urban voters feel about the topic.
They'd love to see San Diego look like whatever NE shithole they came from.
Also, the number of people who move here from elsewhere (including homeless), complain it's too expensive, yet feel entitled to live here. The idea of moving someplace more affordable is absolute heresy.

There’s this idea that everyone deserves an affordable place to live and a well paying job in their favorite town. I don’t get it.
Not that long ago there were places that were affordable to live at the beach. Today I couldn't pull off what I pulled off right out of college in the 90s.
New North Park apartment complex backtracks on limited parking spots due to demand
In hopes of achieving a more car-free San Diego, a new apartment complex in North Park was only offering 13 parking spots to its renters. That was the plan until developer George Champion analyzed the statistics.

Can't wait to see what happens once The Sasan opens in Mission Hills lol
54 units, 4.2k/month for a 1 bedroom, and no parking for that one either.
That's a head scratcher, of all the places that might be livable without a car I wouldn't count San Diego as one of themNew North Park apartment complex backtracks on limited parking spots due to demand

No matter how expensive it gets, there is a seemingly infinite number of people who can afford to live at or near the beach. It will never be affordable again.
Can we agree that if commercial RE goes full 08 we will learn of a new monetary theory maneuver to further kick the can down the road?
That one is all the way up near El Cajon Ave too. Who thought that would be a good idea???New North Park apartment complex backtracks on limited parking spots due to demand

This is an obvious con. Developer doesn’t want to pay the cost of building out infrastructure for parking or dedicating square footage to parking, So the developer claims the project is greener because it is mostly car free.
Just went under contract on a house built in the 1860s...scary but at least it has a track record of standing for 170+ years
Id be more worried about ghosts
On that note does anyone know how long a standard wood frame single wall construction house lasts before needing a major remodel? Mine is approaching 70 years old but seems ok but looks old. I know at some point will need a major remodel
Foundation is.....?
We turned down a few homes with brick foundations here is SF and one that was 1/2 on concrete and the other 1/2 on more or less cinderblock on dirt...at least that one, which we didn't buy either, didn't have phone books holding up a deck like at my college abode in Corvallis, Oregon.
I've crawled under like 50 homes in the past year while house hunting. My observation is that the 40s and 50s era homes around here are built with superior quality lumber. They seem to resist rot and termites better than say the 70s era lumber which is younger wood and different species.
But all that being said, I think it's going to be 100% dependent on how well your home has been taken care of over the years > how well moisture has been managed, etc.
