I think it has something to do with airplanes having to fly over downtown in case they can't land due to an emergency.

Instead of flying over downtown, why wouldn't they just fly over Mission Hills instead?

i think cuz it would be faster landing the plane on the ocean by crossing over downtown and coronado rather than going over mission hills then over mission beach or point loma u know?

So what ocean do planes with emergencies land in if they experience a problem in Las Vegas? :P

It probably has to do with the prevailing winds. This, as much as local topography, determines much of the arrival and departure paths for airports. There is probably also restricted airspace around Miramar that determines the approaches to/from Lindbergh. Flying over Mexican airspace would also possibly mean paying overflight fees to the Mexican government, something the airlines would seek to avoid.

^^ Plus the fact that Vegas is pretty flat with no military air bases as close to the airport as Miramar or North Island.

I think the reason is that by default planes go to the left of the airport in the airport.

In San Diego's case that takes an airplane over downtown while in Vegas it isn't a problem.

The lots for this project are now fenced off and hopefully it means construction begins soon since my neighborhood desperately needs it.

That's interesting. I've gone there twice and have found great buys. Especially, Tom's toothpaste and produce. There are great prices on wines also...

5 roma tomatoes for a dollar when I can get 2 pounds at my local store?

4 bananas for a dollar. 90 cents for a tiny lettuce head. 3 peaches for a dollar.

Ridiculous.

The only thing me and my mom bought was a bag of potatoes and a digiorno pizza with cookies.

I don't know, I found a few good items at prices that beat everything else downtown and in the environs. The produce isn't a wise purchase though, especially since its mostly all on its last leg, if you know what I mean.

That mixed use project in the Barrio looks incredible. I'm just wondering who is going to pay market rate rents to live there in this economy? If there were tons of decent jobs in San Diego for young people (under 33) then I could see them snapping up those units at market rate prices.... But sadly the youth are struggling big time here, so is this going to be "affordable housing"?

LosAngelesDreamin Jul 26, 2012 4:41 AM

Anybody know whats up with lighting up the coronado bay bridge??? i work on san diego bay and seeing the bridge at night is really boring =/ i get so uninterested and often doze off into other topics like "what am i gonna wear tomorrow" instead of just gazing at the bridge.

Derek Jul 26, 2012 4:45 AM

Weren't they supposed to light it years ago?
