Over 58 yrs. here. No brown sky, lots of green,
wonderful scenery, Great view of the bay. Over 70 miles
of beaches.
If people choose to live in the burbs 50 miles from their
work, that is their choice.
I grew up in San Diego in the '40s. That's when it was still beautiful! I watched it turn into the sewer pit it is today. People flock to San Diego to bask in the sunshine...but they leave their garbage everywhere.
