We have known Jim & Donna Klinge for over a dozen years, having met them in Carlsbad where our children went to the same school. As long time North County residents, it was a no- brainer for us to have the Klinges be our eyes and ears for San Diego real estate in general and North County in particular. As my military career caused our family to move all over the country and overseas to Asia, Europe and the Pacific, we trusted Jim and Donna to help keep our house in Carlsbad rented with reliable and respectful tenants for over 10 years.
Naturally, when the time came to sell our beloved Carlsbad home to pursue a rural lifestyle in retirement out of California, we could think of no better team to represent us than Jim and Donna. They immediately went to work to update our house built in 2004 to current-day standards and trends — in 2 short months they transformed it into a literal modern-day masterpiece. We trusted their judgement implicitly and followed 100% of their recommended changes. When our house finally came on the market, there was a blizzard of serious interest, we had multiple offers by the third day and it sold in just 5 days after a frenzied bidding war for 20% above our asking price! The investment we made in upgrades recommended by Jim and Donna yielded a 4-fold return, in the process setting a new high water mark for a house sold in our community.
In our view, there are no better real estate professionals in all of San Diego than Jim and Donna Klinge. Buying or selling, you must run and beg Jim and Donna Klinge to represent you! Our family will never forget Jim, Donna, and their whole team at Compass — we are forever grateful to them.
They are under projecting, what they really missed is that almost NO-ONE drives downtown anymore.
They either stay within the same suburb, or commute to another suburb for work.
L.A. is in some ways very different that SD, the Jobs are really spread out and newer industries such as Tech are located in the suburbs (not in the City).
If a millennial wants to live in the city, more than likely they will need to commute to the Suburbs for work.
In SD more the well paying Jobs are a lot closer to the City (south SD area) than they are in L.A.
Well maybe they are not under projecting but not counting where the new population will be, they probably will be living in Riverside and San Bernardino counties ans well as SD and OC.
Some People think SD is close to built out but it is really closer to zoned out (that can change). L.A. is really built out.
There’s plenty of room between Escondido and Temecula that could benefit.
Here are 750 homes coming in 2016, plus a north campus of Palomar College:

When I read about new housing developments out there in the hills, I just imagine a lot of middle-aged people riding on brand new trails, with their brand new trail bikes, trying to beat mountain lions off their backs with their stainless steel water bottles.
The modern-day circle of life!
