They have built up the trolley. But nobody wants to ride it. Ridership has been in decline since 2014. The freeway system is just so good in SD. Even though I live 13.5 miles from work and have to commute into the most congested area, I can usually get to work in 20-25 minutes by car.
Their biggest mistake was the unregulated breeding of unremarkable muppets. Then we slapped warning labels on everything and circumvented natural selection. The population has doubled since this broadcast and for the life of me I can’t figure out what most of you do besides take up space and make defective copies.
@@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStartOur San Diego Grandparents & their friends made it up. It was right there in very wording. They were eating at the Cardiff IHOP back when J.F.K. was President. It's just Long Boarder language.
In the late 90s, you could still buy a single family home in North Park for as little as $100k. Prices just went nuts around 2003 and even more so just a few years ago. But pricing aside, the only thing that keeps SD from being the paradise it used to be is the explosion in the homeless problem. This is a direct result of idiotic, enabling, lawless policies from Democrats in this state. Went to a wedding in Dallas a couple of years ago and was amazed to see how much less of a homeless/vagrant problem they have.
suspect that the Carrier family is still in SD and watches this every year for a good laugh. how much you bet they got a fortune for their shack and bought a huge place in north county?
🙏🏼 do a then and now interview, even if they moved away for kids still live here. The more things change, the more they stay the same. NOTHING has changed, same challenges today.
He did not say annual income of 11k. lol That's what happened to Oceanside. I moved here 10 years ago and this was a cool beach town with no traffic. Now, all of a sudden, something like 100k more people moved into this area and you can't even go anywhere without traffic. The 76 and 78. at literally any time of the day is traffic! It was never like this. And the homeless population increased in downtown Oceanside to where you can't even go to the beach without smelling piss or running into homeless people that are everywhere. When I moved here the housing prices were like $300k.. now it is like 2.5x more. So most people are moving out of this area (SoCal in general) because new families can't take on a 30 year mortgage for $800k+. I mean, that's so old school like your parents. Nowadays, younger people can't go all in like that. People keep moving every few years, that's the new culture. Eventually, the housing will get so expensive where no one can buy and the market will saturate where people can't sell and get their money out or people will start defaulting. Which is what I think is happening.
Woke politics, million dollar uninsulated tarpaper and clapboard shacks vs. climate change, jaw-dropping rental and energy costs, rising crime, downtown is a homeless camp, horrible rush hour traffic, etc...yeah, paradise on earth.
These were small town people watching a City form around them. Most of what these people are talking about simply isn't true. I might as well be one of those kids. My parents could have afforded several homes back then but my father didn't want to buy. He had a basic blue collar job. This city was plenty spacious, affordable a simply paradise back then. Growing into my 20's I had no problem finding and renting a house on my blue collar income. I could have rented in any neighborhood I wanted. I bought my house on blue collar wages. I had more opportunity presented to me than I knew what to do with. That lasted well into the 90's. 2000's and up is when things really started to take a turn downhill and I knew it was not going to stop. All Conservatives knew this. And now that this city/state has been governed by Dems for the last 20 years it has gone down the same crapp hole every other city in the nation which has been Dem controlled for 20 years has. It takes a long time to wreck paradise.
Yes Trump. This was a time when Dems looked like Republicans of today. Trump was a Dem in 1986, listen to what he says. Its the same viewpoints he has today. The same viewpoints the Republican Party upholds. You lefties went so far left you have nothing in common with The old Dem Party. It is YOUR ideology which has ruined this place but you are just too ignorant to see it.
I moved to SD in 1984. Always wondered why with such great weather, there werent more people here. Well, its near 40 years later and I wish 1/2 of them would leave. Home prices are ridiculous now, and the freeways are a mess. Only good thing is that jobs are more plentiful and pay better than ever.
Never understood why people like to live near the ocean or driving in mountains. Driving in Colorado is horrible, not because of traffic, but because of the mountains.
These videos are great, thank you for posting them.
They didn't know how good they had it
Shame they didn't build up trolleys/streetcars with it and instead opted for a car-centric suburban hellscape 🤢

its better than a lot of places in the us
The Los Angelization of San Diego was something our grandparents warned us about when we were kids. Heavy sigh.

Yep, the graffitti is getting much more common over the years,… more like LA.
@@bonsummers2657 My La Jolla tagger neighbors feel more like gramma's Beverly Hills taggers every day. Que terribè.
Born and raised, 2nd generation. Saddened by the changes since 1960
Back when San diego was still beautiful before it became America's Finest Ghetto 🇺🇸
I long for the Old Skool S.D. . C/O 1993..Aztec 4 Life 1997...
That El Cajon blvd quote hits differently when you live in La Mesa
It used to be great not now,,,,sad.😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
This shows how my current living place was when I was born in Sri Lanka.

How many of the NIMBYS that haven’t let San Diego actually grow are in this video alone? Lol
Loved the area abs still do but yes prices are so high now in housing only the upper class can afford!
Well… I LOVE SD ❤❤ ( regardless)
Last thing san diego needs is somebody like gavin newsom
..Or the people that voted for him

Why are mountains horrible to drive in if not for traffic?
@@johnbeckwith1361 slow.
Never understood how anyone could not live near the mountains and the ocean. The whole middle of the country weirds me out. Just flat nothingness?
@@mjwbulich wouldnt know. Dont live in the middle of the country.
