Le Anne, you do make SD sound pretty unappealing! Gotta agree with you on
the state of the local newspaper. However, once Camp Pendleton is gone, I
think we are just going to blend into Orange County, and eventually L.A. in
a huge Megatropolis. (Which is one of the reasons I think one doesn't see
much of San Diego in SF of the future, but maybe there are other reasons.)
However, if you are calculating SD as less than two hours away from LA, I
gotta ask what mode of transportation you're using!
On the bright side, I love the desert, all sorts of different climates are
within an easy drive, and San Diego DOES have that great specialty
bookstore... <G>
Anyone know offhand what exisiting cities pop up most in SF of the future?
