San Diego Tourism Authority, City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, and San Diego Magazine partnered last November to host the #FindArtShareArt contest to celebrate San Diego’s bold and eclectic arts scene. Thousands of images were shared, ranging from murals and musicians to street art and sculpture, and three winners were selected. The grand prize winner, Stacy Keck, caught judges’ eyes with her photo of a refl ective moment at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Joey Lenze and Barbara Smith were selected as runners-up for their images capturing two vibrant San Diego murals.

The level of craftsmanship achieved at The Art of Dentistry in San Diego is stellar. Drs. Landau, Addleson and Campbell are each an accomplished master of cosmetic dentistry. I recently completed a smile makeover with the assistance of Dr. David Landau and to say that I am satisfi ed with the results is an understatement. If you’re concerned that your appearance doesn’t refl ect your personal image don’t hesitate. Make the call to schedule a consultation. It’ll change your life!
— Allen Linker

EDITOR
t the City and Regional Magazine Association
conference in Denver last year, I got to meet publishing celebrity
David Granger. He was the editor in chief of Esquire for 19 years, 13 of which I was a subscriber. Chief Content Officer Erin Chambers Smith and I accosted him at one of the parties. Now, when you tell a New Yorker you’re from San Diego, they typically shrug it off as a non-city, or just lump it together with our northerly sister, Los Angeles. We pointed out that LA, and with it, Los Angeles magazine, tends to steal the spotlight, because it has bigger stories, a larger pool of writers, and more readers. “That’s your story,” Granger said—and “Beat LA” (page 88) was born.
We decided to slate it for the March issue, on the cusp of baseball season. I invited Mary Melton, editor of LA mag, to write a rebuttal, and she eventually agreed, asking, “How tough can I be?” My answer: “Hit me with your best shot.” (Turns out, we stumped her. She ultimately wrote back, “Honestly, I had to acknowledge that I really like San Diego and think it’s a beautiful town. How’s that for an anti-competition?”)
Likewise, Mary. I lived in LA while attending USC and I admire many things about my college town—like the Coliseum, the Strand, and Diddy Riese cookies. But I’ve also seen Angelenos trying to crib our signature Baja-Med cuisine and claim Santa Monica is the anchor of Biotech Beach. Well, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
We know San Diego County is the superior region, and our cover story (“Best Places to Live,” page 76) highlights some buzzy, revitalized, and hidden neighborhoods. Did you know Imperial Beach is the new coastal city hot spot for good food, craft beer, and sustainability? Or that Mission Valley is opening the city’s second largest public park next month? They’re just a few of the neighborhoods and ideas for better living. I hope you’ll enjoy
learning what’s new in our communities, whether you’re looking to move, rent, buy, or just spy.
Happy reading—and beat LA!

20 SAN DIEGO MAGAZINE MARCH 2017
A R C H I V E S
n 1999, we published a three-part series called THE MILLENNIUM PROJECT, which made predictions about San Diego in the 21st century. In it, authors Neal Peirce and Curtis Johnson talked about many of the same things we do today—how to attract a talented workforce, whether or not to tear down the border fence, and how
building a stadium downtown (Petco Park, not a Chargers convadium) might affect nearby neighborhoods like Barrio Logan. There was also anxiety about housing costs, density, and traffi c. The median cost of a new home in San Diego was $350,000; now it’s $493,000. Interstate 15 had not been completed. Route 56 was still just a plan.
We estimated that another million people would be moving to San Diego by 2020, bringing with them 685,000 more vehicles to our roads. (By
July 2015, we had added about 400,000 people.) “If San Diego fails to change course,” we warned, “if it keeps on growing in today’s spread pattern [just 2.2 houses per acre of ‘fresh suburban land’], the region will soon be in the grim grip of gridlock.”
When faced with accommodating the increased number of cars, adding what we imagined was the equivalent of 46 lanes to the 805, we predicted that San Diegans would “rebel at the costs, revolt at the idea of still more concrete canyons.” And then? A huge demand for “live-work-walk environments.” Didn’t
exactly happen.Transportation expert Alan Hoffman cited a study showing that
adding more lanes to the freeway would only add more cars. In The Millennium Project, he debuted his proposal for Quickways, or “trains on tires” that move through tunnels and on bridges, with “exclusive rights-of-way—no fi ghting the trucks, minivans, sedans in the other lanes out there.” The buses, trams, and trolleys would take people where they actually want to go, like the beach, airport, and within walking distance of their offi ces. The Quickway Proposal never took off at the time, but has returned with gusto, as has Hoffman, who is now the founding director of the Center for Advanced Urban Visioning—you can read more about his mass transit solution on page 84 of this issue.
Ultimately, The Millennium Project recommended that no city or neighborhood be allowed to veto substantial denser, mixed-use development at transit stops. “If San Diego can… get its transportation and land-use strategies smartly aligned, it can begin to beat the congestion game and position itself not as a tired cul-de-sac of old thinking but an innovative leader among 21st-century regions.”
We’re still working on it. But that’s why we called it a “project.” —EMG

KRISTI BROOKSSTYLIST
Brooks styled this month’s spring fashion feature, “Between the Lines” (page 59). Originally from Tucson, Brooks has lived in San Diego since 1999 and currently calls Escondido home. Her 14-year styling career has set her up with plum gigs, like working with Sharon Stone for several years, as well as styling Liam Hemsworth, Scott Eastwood, and Chloë Sevigny. Our stripe-themed fashion spread had Brooks looking to the past. “I’ve always loved 1970s fashion, so I took my inspiration from the decadence of that era. Every look has a retro feel but still looked modern. I loved the Missoni gown. It’s a piece you can wear barefoot by the pool or dress up with heels and accessories.”

EDMON DE HAROGRAPHIC DESIGNER
The Spain-based artist created the graphics for this month’s feature “Beat LA” (page 88). He lives in his hometown of Badalona, just next to Barcelona, but has designed for outlets across the pond, including the New York Times, the Atlantic, and the New Yorker. “When I started freelancing I began working for Spanish editorial clients, but soon I contacted Ameri-can art directors,” he says. “I knew they appreciated this kind of work much more than in my country. [San Diego Magazine designer] Elisa Glass gave me the first opportunity to publish an image in your country when she was at the Atlantic.” For “Beat LA,” de Haro made sure to convey the laughs without getting silly. “I tried to show competition with some subtle humor, trying also to be respectful to both cities.”

The Bankers Hill–based writer pens our monthly calendar (page 140). “The most difficult aspect is narrowing down the events,” she says. “I gravitate toward cultural festivals and foodie events, because I love celebrating San Diego’s diverse populace and eating all the amazing food, wine, and craft beer that our dining scene has to offer. This month, I definitely want to check out the wine-pairing dinner at 1500 Ocean and the Chamorro Cultural Festival, but Kinky Boots also sounds like a good time.”

BELLE OF THE BALLETJust in time for this month’s live-action film, the Malandain Ballet Biarritz will bring a full-length version of 18th-century French fairy tale turned Disney classic BEAUTY AND THE BEAST to San Diego’s Civic Theatre on March 18. Presented by La Jolla Music Society, the French company’s rendition blends old with new—including music by Tchaikovsky and a troupe of 22 classically trained dancers paired with contemporary moves by director-choreographer Thierry Malandain, who previously danced with the Ballet National de l’Opéra de Paris and has spearheaded ballets of Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella, and The Nutcracker. But this is no Disney adaptation. Ready to see the show tackle questions of morality, sin, and sexuality? Be our guest. —ARCHANA RAM

ON THE JOB
AGE: 48 COMPANY: Catalina Offshore Products JOB: Cutter
Danny Martinez is involved in some fishy business. For the past 14 years, he has worked for Catalina Offshore Products, typically putting in 12-hour days and cutting up to 10,000 pounds of fish per shift. Martinez starts with a whole 50-to-90-pound tuna (also halibut, snapper, grouper, and more). The wholesale customers get the bigger cuts; the smaller markets buy the fillets. Similar to the way beef is sliced and priced, certain cuts are considered finer than others. The art of the fillet is knowing how to cut each species—the way the spines are laid out, the way it swims, the placement of its fins. In his spare
time, Martinez has mastered another art: Mexican wrestling. He works as a teacher and coach in Tijuana, and his masked persona is Felino Salvaje (Savage Feline). At Catalina Offshore, his work inevitably follows him home. “Even when I wash my hands, I still stink of fish,” he laughs, describing his wife’s reaction when he walks in the door. “I say, ‘Honey, what I can do?’ But she forgives me. We’ve been married 26 years.” And as for the answer to that age-old question: What’s for dinner? Of course, it’s fish. “Every day! I make sushi. They’re delicious to me. The quality is what’s important.”

The prestigious Kyoto Prize, celebrating science, philosophy, and the arts, brings its accolades to San Diego this monthby DEAN NELSON
Awards Season
nstage, Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado looks pleased. She is dressed in clothing
representing 1,000 years of history. To her right,
dozens of children, also in traditional costume, sing an ancient Japanese song. To her left, in more modern attire, are a technology expert who has pioneered work in robotics and automated driving, a scientist whose work in immunotherapy has led to breakthroughs in cancer treatment, and a philosopher whose research has led to a new theory of justice.
The princess gazes on both the past and future of civilization.
This was November, in the ceremony for the Kyoto Prize, which selects laureates in the fields of Advanced Technology, Basic Sciences, and Arts and Philosophy. Its global prestige is similar to the Nobel Prize. In fact, nine Kyoto Prize winners have also won the Nobel, like Yoshinori

Kyoto is the cultural center of Japan and a city known for its temples, shrines, and artistry. And judging by the audience, the event has a lot to do with San Diego’s future. In addition to dignitaries from around the world, the gathering included representatives from many San Diego businesses and universities—Kyocera, ResMed, Union Bank, San Diego Airport Authority, USD, UCSD, SDSU, PLNU, and many others.
“San Diego is one of the largest innovation centers in the world,” says Malin Burnham, one of the prize’s early supporters. “Much of our future is in innovation, so it’s important that we plant another flag in the ground to tell
the world what we’re about.”The Kyoto Prize was started in 1984;
in 2001, USD hosted the laureates on campus. The San Diego–Kyoto connection has grown ever since, and now the laureates visit San Diego each March for the annual Kyoto Symposium, when they give lectures and performances at various universities.
At least one San Diegan has received the prize. Walter Munk, called the “Einstein of the Oceans,” was a Kyoto laureate in 1999 for his work at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
“Hosting the prize in San Diego brings our city a lot of prestige,” says Dick Davis, the Kyoto Prize administrator and former executive director of San Diego Regional

Economic Development Corporation. “These kinds of events are usually in media centers like New York or Los Angeles. It’s a great recognition for San Diego.”
While in Kyoto, the San Diego contingent gets a glimpse of the significance of each laureate, and can plan how best to showcase them here. When the prize is celebrated in San Diego this month during the Kyoto Symposium, the universities and businesses cooperate in an unprecedented way.
“One of the big concerns we had when we wanted to expand the event throughout San Diego was whether the universities would work together,” says Rod Lanthorne, former CEO of Kyocera North America. “It turned out that the schools were very complementary, and consistent with a prize that is meant to lift up the human spirit.”
This year’s laureates include philosopher and ethicist Martha Craven Nussbaum, whose ideas helped form USD’s Humanities Center, as well as Takeo Kanade, who will showcase his robotics work for driverless cars and prosthetics at UCSD. Tasuku Honjo, whose research is advancing life sciences and medicine, will speak at SDSU about his cancer therapies, while PLNU* will host the media interviews and opening luncheon for the laureates. Local businesses will also feature
them in events, exploring how the laureates’ research connects with their own. “A lot of laureates come from fields in technology that San Diego is known for,” Lanthorne says.
Kazuo Inamori, the founder of Kyocera, funds the prize through the Inamori Foundation as a means to advance human achievement as well as to improve cultural and spiritual dimensions of society. “Being part of the Kyoto Prize connects San Diegans to ideas that are shaping the future,” says Mary Walshok, associate vice chancellor at UCSD. “It puts our young people in touch with breakthroughs and expands our region’s global footprint.”
When the ceremony comes to San Diego this month, it won’t include a princess or a look into our past. Here, it will be all about the future. A fundraising gala will feature the laureates and will introduce potential future laureates: Three high school students from San Diego and three from Tijuana will each receive a $10,000 college scholarship.
“When those young people tell the audience about their excitement for science and the arts, well, it’s just tingling on the backbone,” says Burnham. “That’s our future.”

INSIDE THE ICON
The city’s last remaining single-screen theater, which recently celebrated its 70th anniversary, has been a landmark for old-school movie glamour, classic fl icks, and Rocky Horror fun
by ARCHANA RAM
P E O P L E + P L A C E S
OPEN SESAME The family-owned building was constructed in 1947 to bring quality foreign films to the city. It now also screens indie movies and restored classics. This month, look for Labyrinth on March 10, Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 Romeo and Juliet on March 12, and Reservoir Dogs on March 15.
MIDNIGHT MASSESThe Ken is famous for its midnight Saturday screenings of cult favorites like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Room (this month on March 18 and 11, respectively), and other offbeat events, like a Sound of Music sing-along. Not a night owl? Some films replay on Sunday mornings.
NEW LEASE ON LIFEIn 2014 the theater seemed ready to shutter after a new deal with Landmark Theatres—which has operated the Ken since 1975—seemed unlikely. Fans took to social media to voice their fear of losing the community institution. Ultimately, the Ken renegotiated an agreement and when the lease was renewed, the theater played a weekend of classics to celebrate, including Singin’ in the Rain, Lawrence of Arabia, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
CELEBRITY STATUSVal Kilmer appeared at the Ken in December to promote Citizen Twain, while Tommy Wiseau from The Room visited in January and hosted a post-screening Q&A.
ROOM WITH A VIEWThe theater once had a soundproof crying room with its own speakers for parents with fussy children, and a viewing room that allowed smokers to puff away while watching the flick through a window.
A SHOWSTOPPERAnyone can rent the marquee during non-operational hours. In 2008, Anthony La Rue proposed to his then-girlfriend Shannon Turner via marquee, which read, “Shannon Will You Marry Me.” Patrons noticed the unique signage and were itching to know the answer. Before the 7 p.m. screening, the manager revealed, “She said ‘yes.’”

CHECKING INJoJo Ruiz has been one of the names on “up-and-coming chefs” lists for a while. He was originally slated to be the chef de cuisine at the newly renovated Craft & Commerce. But when the ever-hip Pendry Hotel calls with a bigger dollar, you answer. As the chef of the property’s signature restaurant, LIONFISH, Ruiz will oversee the hotel’s coastal cuisine with a two-story restaurant. Make no mistake: Ruiz can cook, and Pendry is one of the better hotel groups to open in San Diego in a long time. It’s the biggest opening in San Diego since Nobu at Hard Rock. Worth a visit. Or three. —TROY JOHNSON

46 SAN DIEGO MAGAZINE MARCH 2017
In 2011, I crossed America looking for the best barbecue, and found brisket epiphany in Lockhart, Texas. I’ve been trying to find it in San Diego ever since, and with the possible exception of Coops in Lemon Grove, have been sorely disappointed.
But now I’m calling off the search. Grand Ole Barbecue y Asado is the best barbecue in the city. One worthy of national conversation.
The brisket is their showpiece, with a thick, peppery bark (the crust that forms on the outside of the meat) and luscious, fatty, moan-inducing meat below. Every bite is job security for your cardiologist, but care about that elsewhere. It’s served with their house-made chimichurri—a garlic- and vinegar-laced bolt of fresh, pulverized greens that cuts through the fatty meat.
It’s only served at night. Show up early. Lines form. When it’s gone, it’s gone. They can’t just whip up more. Math at barbecue joints is guesswork.
You can order any of their meat by the pound, or on a sandwich. And so I ordered everything. Lamb shoulder, hot links, pulled pork, even turkey breast. Turkey breast seemed like a concession to SoCal’s health squad, and a really poor order. Like slow-smoking tempeh.
But I tell you this. That turkey is the most remarkable piece of meat served at Grand Ole.
Sure, I’d rather eat the brisket or pulled pork. But only because they’re more flavorful raw ingredients. Turkey is a generic, often dry protein that you order out of personal trainer guilt. Their turkey is so perfectly smoked, tender, and delicious that it may have just turned me around on the plus-size fowl. Their pork ribs were about the only disappointment: still tough. And their sides weren’t all perfect, ranging from average (white beans, black bean salad) to really good (spicy
coleslaw, spicy potato salad). But that meat. Oh god, that meat. They also have great T-shirts.

Best BBQ
SAN DIEGO HAS A CONFUSED RELATIONSHIP WITH BARBECUE. Mostly, we seem to think we’re doing it when we’re actually just grilling. As delineated in the Texas State Constitution and, I believe, the Bible, this is wrong. Grilling is cooking meat directly over flame. Barbecue is a long, slow process of smoking meat at low temperature until it becomes so tender we can pull it apart with our dainty human hands.
Andy Harris discovered this hole in San Diego’s food scene a couple years back, so he started a catering company called Grand Ole Barbecue. It did real well, because he and his partners did it right. They did the long, boring, patient, financially cavalier work required to make sublimely tender smoked meat.
His permanent picnic-table joint, Grand Ole Barbecue y Asado, opened in North Park late last year. North Park is hipsterville, and that makes me leery. Creative kids are awesome, but sometimes their T-shirts are better than their food.
Every bite is job security
for your cardiologist,
but care about that elsewhere.

“It’s a simple taco, nothing crazy.” That’s how chef Miguel Valdez describes his duo of braised short rib tacos at The Bar by Red Door, the intimate cocktail bar adjacent to sustainability pioneer The Red Door in Mission Hills. Opened last October, the bar specializes in “farm-to-glass” cocktails, as well as craft beers, Sunday brunch, and a sizeable small plates menu. For his seemingly simple Taco Twins dish, Valdez starts by braising short ribs in a red wine demiglace for nearly fi ve hours. The result is a velvety fi lling topped with feta, shallots, cilantro, and Sriracha aioli made from local hot sauce brand Baby Clydesdale. It’s all wrapped in corn tortillas from Gabriel Tortilleria in Logan Heights, Valdez’s hometown. Pair it with the popular Good Will cocktail, a gin and apple brandy concoction named after the thrift store where the bar sources its glassware. How’s that for sustainable? —AR

A misogynist motto once stated that “a woman’s place is in the kitchen,” but judging by the male-dominated restaurant world, you’d be hard-pressed to � nd many women in executive culinary positions. Urban Kitchen Group founder Tracy Borkum is shifting that perspective by bringing together eight in� uential local female chefs for this month’s LA FESTA DELLA DONNA, a traditional celebration in Italy that spotlights women’s achievements. � e pairing dinner, which bene� ts local women-focused charities like Center for Community Solutions, will bring together big names from San Diego’s restaurant scene—Kelli Crosson, chef de cuisine at A.R. Valentien; Karen Krasne, owner and chef of Extraordinary Desserts; and Venissimo Cheese founder Gina Freize. It’s the � fth year that Borkum has hosted the event at Del Mar’s Cucina Enoteca, but this time the chefs will collaborate with eight female West Coast winemakers and brewers, including Laura Ulrich of Stone Brewing Co.

La Jolla’s tiny bistro gets a
$2.5-million overhaul, and it works
by TROY JOHNSON photography by SAM WELLS
YOU HAVE TO PLAY BY THE RULES. Some rules are written. And some are intimated. If you have a barbecue joint, white tablecloths are a messy choice. If your restaurant clientele is mostly retirees, maybe skip the death-metal Pandora. And if you’ve got a restaurant on Prospect Street in La Jolla, you gotta have a view.
The Hake realized this last year. Actually, they probably realized it the moment they opened. But investing that kind of coin, even for one of Mexico City’s largest restaurant groups (Operadora Bajo de la Tintorera), was a bit hard to swallow on day one.
Now that The Hake has been a hit over three and a half years, they have invested—to the tune of $2.5 million. And oh, lord, what a transformation. The formerly cramped bistro’s square footage went from 3,500 to 5,400, and they added a private dining room with wine bottles acting as walls. Huge plate glass windows—60 feet or so across—look down on La Jolla Cove, the city’s majestic crag of cradled ocean. At sunset, we watch sea lions jump in and out of the waves and onto the rocks, hyperactively warming up for their nocturnal hunt. In lieu of a season pass to SeaWorld, you might just get a season pass to The Hake.
One thing about The Hake’s new view, however, is missing. Thank god. It’s the dirty not-so-secret of the La Jolla Cove restaurant
view: the stench. Since we’re about to talk about food, I’ll refrain from calling it by name. But let’s just say the unappetizing scent is organic and locally sourced—mostly from seagulls and seals. And since The Hake is fully enclosed, you can enjoy the view without the jarring aroma of the wild.
Along with the view, The Hake pulled in a new chef, Aarti Sanghavi, former executive chef of Searsucker Del Mar, and a new beverage director, Joan Villanueva (ex-Tavern, Loews Coronado). Sanghavi’s menu spans the globe, sticking mostly to Mexican and Mediterranean, with a little Indian flair. Villanueva’s menu is simply great cocktails.
In the appetizer section, Sanghavi does a few things exceptionally well, first and foremost the opah chorizo. It’s a shock that there’s no pork in the dish. With spices, she’s able to replicate the rich, spicy umami using opah—a great choice, since it’s a very neutral fish that can mimic meat—and then tops it with a poached egg and ribbons of celery for freshness. Her steam-roasted octopus is beyond tender, with Castelvetrano olives (the best olives by a long shot), half-fried potatoes, supremed sections of grapefruit, and a pepper sauce with chipotles and others.

Her lobster crudo would be a stunner, but the fresh, raw crustacean is buried under a mound of snap peas and nuts. A delicate fish needs breathing room, and the peas suffocate it, even though the dish’s crispy-fried sunchokes with quality olive oil would win over grumps. The wagyu tartare is respectable, if unremarkable. It needs more lemon, more onion, more zip—and as a fried herb, epazote flavor pales in comparison to, say, sage.
One of the greatest dishes in San Diego, not just The Hake, is served here as a side: those piloncillo roasted carrots with sesame seeds, carrot-top chimichurri, and goat cheese. These carrots make dreams. It’s a healthy dish turned unhealthily awesome, with the deep caramel of the piloncillo (a delicious Mexican brown sugar), tang of the cheese, and then the high vinegar pitch of the chimichurri. Order six or so.
You can see in a dish like this that Sanghavi knows how to make seafood taste intriguingly like land meat, and that’s an inspiring transformation. For more proof, try the tuna carnitas. Sounds like an awful idea, especially because the magic of carnitas comes from a slow braise. If you cook tuna that long, it turns into dry mush. But hers, while still a little tough, works so well. The “smoked hake,” however, falls. It comes served in a hollowed-out bone. That suggests marrow, and it’s exactly what the hake (a deep-sea relative of cod) is tossed in, except ours is nothing but salt.
Getting back to ordering well, try the mussels with a guajillo broth. The only thing you need to do with mussels is make a good broth. The only thing. Mussels without a good broth are basically ugly clams without a cause. And Sanghavi’s broth is absolutely drinkable, redolent of chilies, garbanzo beans, and happiness. One of the best broths in town.
For the “catch of the day,” Sanghavi serves
an opah with an herb chutney (vinegar, herbs, various spices) that’s been in her family for decades. It’s a good chutney, although I might urge her to tweak it just a touch. It needs bigger flavors that we didn’t have decades ago—possibly nuts, ginger, sweet citrus, or a little more heat.
At most restaurants, I’d suggest skipping dessert. Dessert is a different beast, an entirely unique skill set. Cooking savory, you can pretty much throw anything at the pan and taste until it works out. Pastries and desserts, on the other hand, require exact measurements. Improv kills dessert.
But Sanghavi’s savory play on the cheesecake is inspired. It’s not a cheesecake in the way that Woody Allen knows it. It’s essentially a cheese plate molded into the form of an after-dinner sweet. Goat cheese and blue cheese are forced into a wedge, then laden with honey and grapes.
The servers are well aware of the need to preface this dish. “It’s NOT a sweet dessert,” our server tells us. “It’s cheese.” If you understand that, it’s one of the best cheese plates in San Diego—savory, but perfectly, minutely sweet.
Enjoy every bite and then gaze out the plate glass windows at what San Diego could be. With that view, The Hake could be serving Hot Pockets and still get people through the door. Luckily, the food mostly lives up to the eye candy, and occasionally steals the show.
At sunset, we watch sea lions jump in and out
of the waves and onto the rocks,
hyperactively warming up for their nocturnal
hunt. In lieu of a season pass to SeaWorld, you
might just get a season pass to
The Hake.

C E L E B R AT I N G W O M E N
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM? I worked for a Fortune 500 company and had responsibility for a $125-million P&L. I was hired by Mattel to change the image of Barbie. I was director of Barbie Consumer Products.
WHY DID YOU MAKE THE CHANGE? I moved to San Diego in 2004 to get married. I left the corporate environment to help a family member. It was a rude awakening for me. � is is a very personal business and we grow it one by one.
WHAT IS YOUR WORK SCHEDULE? I work whatever hours it takes. My husband and I have three businesses and our work is our play. We are always looking to improve. Our family is our team and our clients. I am also chairman of the board of La Jolla Music Society with a $75-million construction project and that takes many hours of my time.
WHAT DO YOU DO TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY? Giving back is a huge component of this business and is a component of success. In addition to my work with LJMS, we’ve done beach cleanup days, a soup kitchen, sponsoring a family at Christmas, and other projects.
WHO WAS YOUR MENTOR AND WHOM DO YOU MENTOR? I have had many mentors, men and women. My dad, who was part of the greatest generation, taught me to approach life with integrity. He insisted that I stand on my own two feet. I live my life by example. You never know whom you are going to inspire. � ree things that I try to instill in my young team are: give back, do your best, and learn � nancial independence.
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR EDUCATION? I have an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in science from the University of Illinois, and I studied Japanese at Konan University in Kobe, Japan. I speak Japanese and Greek.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE LIVING IN JAPAN? I lived there for two years. � e culture is di� erent from ours and it helped me to translate how to conduct myself. It made me understand that people are all di� erent. I learned that if you come up against an obstacle, you need to look at things in a di� erent way.
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR YOURSELF? I have tutors to help me keep up on my foreign languages. I love cycling, skiing, and hiking. We entertain and have diverse groups of people. We call them salon dinners.
HOW DO YOU SEE YOUR FUTURE? I’m growing more toward the nonpro� t world. I � nd it rewarding and satisfying. I have developed people in my organization who could take over the reins. Two of my 10 team members are partners in the business. I want to do more in the community, especially in the arts world. My vision is much bigger than just a performing arts center. I see opportunities for collaboration.
WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS? We provide employee bene� ts, including health insurance, dental, and life insurance. We’re not performing brain surgery, but if you need brain surgery, we are the right partners for you to help navigate through it.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN AFFECTED BY THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT? We went through a lot of changes and are in for more. � e operative word is “change.” We prefer to be nimble and we need to be � exible. I came from a corporate environment and I quickly learned that running an independent business is entirely di� erent.

orena Whiteside Nelson knows the value of a good story. The local PR maven and executive
producer of the KPBS show Savor San Diego spends her days telling stories and pitching her clients to other people
who tell stories. So it’s no surprise that her home is full of character, sourced almost entirely from estate sales and flea markets. Tables stained with wine from dinners of another era, framed paintings salvaged at weekend garage sales, and odd little trinkets create unique vignettes at every corner. Nothing is ordinary or overdone.
She shares the home with her husband, George Nelson, who works for a tech company in the Bay Area, where Lorena is from as well. She grew up frequenting the various vintage markets around San Jose with her parents. “Some of my earliest memories are of getting
up at the crack of dawn on weekends to go to sales with them,” she says. “My dad is really into it. He used to rearrange furniture with me in my room. He has a good eye, and I think I got that from him.”
The couple’s Point Loma house, perched on a La Playa hill, offers stunning views of the bay and downtown. Mediterranean landscaping by Cleator Landscape Design complements the multilevel Spanish architecture, with pebble-strewn pathways, serene agaves, and an ancient olive tree that stands guard as guests climb the stairs to the front door.
The entrance level is composed of a shared kitchen and dining space in addition to the master suite. The Nelsons completely redid the kitchen, transforming the former galley layout into an open plan with a central walnut island. A Talavera tile backsplash makes a statement among the granite countertops and soft,

creamy cabinets, as do a pair of gold pendants from One Kings Lane. They were “a point of contention,” according to Lorena. “People either love them or hate them. There’s no in between.” The kitchen’s focal point is a custom hood above the range, designed by Ricardo Guerrero to match the architecture, with drywall work by Bryan Wright of Almost Anything in Drywall.
Lorena bought the dining table at an antique store in Ocean Beach (“a steal at $400”). “The finish is pretty worn, but we don’t mind,” she describes. “It gives it a nice aged patina that we don’t worry about damaging. I like the more rustic, primitive stuff.” She found the chairs at an estate sale (“a major score at $40 each”).
From the dining area, a small wrought-iron staircase leads to the upper guest
rooms, which double as office spaces for Lorena and George, who both work from home. Lorena originally wanted to tile around the archways, but didn’t want to commit to something so permanent. Instead, she showed artist Raymundo Galvan photos of the old California missions, and asked him to hand-paint something similar.
A separate staircase off the main level leads to the sunken living area, with a dramatic exposed beam ceiling that the couple repainted a dark wooden hue. They also simplified the fireplace surround, taking it back to its original style with custom drywall accented by Talavera and Saltillo tile. Almost everything in this space was sourced from Lorena’s “weekend treasure hunts,” as she calls them, citing Ocean Beach Antique Mall, Vignettes,
Behold the orchid hospital. “I put orchids that have already bloomed in old antique boxes and bowls to try to get them to flower again,” Lorena says. “The lighting is good there, and it’s close to the sink, making it easier to water them regularly.”
Lorena turned this marble-topped chest (which cost $150!) into a bar with antique decanters. Above it hangs a framed scarf that Lorena paid $5 for. “The frame is a little beat up, but it gives it a hammered look. I love the story and the bargain of it.”
A faux fireplace stands in one of the guest rooms. “We thought we’d give our guests something pretty to look at while in bed,” she says. A little wooden boat in a glass surround sits on the mantel. “It was only $8 and adds a ton of instant character.”

Karen’s Consignment, and Rare Bird Consigment among her favorite spots.
The living room houses some of her most prized possessions: two California impressionist paintings her father bought at a consignment shop; a Chihuly vase given to her by client and dear friend Su–Mei Yu, founder of Saffron Thai; and a lone Russian wolfhound figurine, part of a huge collection that belonged to her mother, who died of cancer a few years ago.
“I don’t want stuff that other people have,” she says. “I want something unique and different—as opposed to buying everything from one store, like Crate & Barrel. Anybody can go and do that. This creates more character and a different quality.”
Among the many obvious vignettes are a few hidden gems, like the private art gallery in her master bathroom. It’s a mix from various estate sales and the couple’s travels, paintings that hadn’t found a place in the rest of the house. “I figured if it didn’t come out so well, it would be okay, because George and I are really the only ones who will have to look at them,” Lorena explains. “I find myself admiring different pieces while in the shower or getting ready in the morning or for bed.”
ABOVE: Lorena and George’s private art gallery in their master bath. BELOW: One of the couple’s guest rooms, which doubles as an office space. Like the rest of the house, most of the furnishings are sourced from estate sales and antique shops. At the far right hangs a framed Gucci scarf, a recent score at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. “I liked it just because of the design,” she says. “I had no idea about Gucci scarves and was pleasantly surprised when I did a Google search on them after I brought it home.”

GOOD NEWS FIRST: San Diego is more affordable today than it has been in the past. Our median sale price ($493K) is less than it was 11 years ago, when we were paying $520K. As a city, we are foreclosing well below the “normal” national rate.
But home prices are increasing faster than wages. Between 2015 and 2016, median home prices grew 7 percent while wages grew 0 percent. “Inventory has stayed low and moved lower for lower-priced homes,” says Professor Norm Miller, Hahn Chair of Real Estate Finance at the University of San Diego School of Business, who’s also affiliated with the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate. “We price out non-homeowners mostly because we don’t approve density or lower-priced housing.” Our land is so valuable—on average, two-thirds the cost of single- family detached housing—that new units need to be smaller and denser to lower the cost of land per unit.
But fret not. Councilmembers Scott Sherman (District 7) and David Alvarez (District 8) are taking an “aggressive approach” to improve the situation by rethinking regulations, fees, permitting, land use, and more.
Change is coming, and you can see it in our road map to the next hot hoods. Imperial Beach is getting a massive makeover, La Mesa still has four-bedroom homes in the $400s, and Convoy Street has plans to become the next Little Italy. We talk to a Bay Park couple who fell in love with Encanto and a family who swapped Point Loma for Jamul. This is a real estate tour of San Diego County as it grows and changes faster than you can say “redevelopment.” And because commute time is crucial, we also offer a proposal for a new kind of transit—one that stops within walking distance of where you actually want to end up.
It’s time to find a home, sweet home.

Hot Hoods
�
LA MESA THE VIBE: La Mesa maintains a small-town charm thanks to a shop- and restaurant-lined historic main street that hosts annual events like a two-day Oktoberfest, a weekly summertime classic car show, and the family-friendly Holiday in the Village. Though East County cities tend to be politically conservative, in November, La Mesa elected Colin Parent to its city council, a young progressive whose day job at Circulate San Diego has him advocating for sustainable land use and more accessible public transit.
WHAT’S HOT: Over the last year or so, La Mesa’s seen a string of new restaurants join old favorites like D.Z. Akin’s, The Village House Kalina, and The Lunch Box. Coin Haus, designed by Philippe Beltran (Bleu Bohème, BO-beau), opened last year and features more than two dozen retro arcade games and a large, self-pour craft
beer selection. Another 2016 addition, Public Square, has been a hit with local coffee afi cionados. Two brand-new spots include “farm-to-fork” restaurant Farmer’s Table and Blvd Noodles, which specializes in pho and ramen.
HOUSING: Know a young couple on the house hunt? It’s still possible to fi nd a four-bedroom house in the $500s here (although the prices are slowly creeping upward). Looking for a swankier abode? For $1.5 million, you can get an acre of land, great views, and lots of living space on Mount Helix.
FUN FACT: La Mesa’s Mount Nebo neighborhood has a system of public stairways created to help folks navigate the hilly terrain. The smallest is a mere 44 steps, while the longest and steepest, at 245 steps, takes you up 830 feet to one of the city’s highest knolls.
IMPERIAL BEACHTHE VIBE: A mere four square miles, Imperial Beach’s identity is defi ned by its surf culture and border with Mexico—it’s not diffi cult to fi nd some amazing taco shops, like the much-raved-about IB Street Tacos. IB’s 4-mile stretch of beach, which includes popular surf spot Boca Rio, reaches down to Border Field State Park, ending where the fence disappears into the ocean. It’s also home to a good portion of the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve and the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Residents showed they appreciate their town’s unique relationship to the environment by electing Serge Dedina, the founder of coastal conservation nonprofi t Wildcoast, as mayor in 2014.
#SOUTHBAYUPRISING: This Twitter hashtag popped up about a year ago as a marketing tool for the South Bay’s growing craft beer scene. Since then, roughly a dozen bars, restaurants, and breweries have joined together to form the South Bay Craft Beer Business Guild. Included in this group is IB Public House, which offers 20 rotating taps of mostly local beers, like Chula Vista’s Novo Brazil Brewing Co. It’s part of a growing dining scene that includes Cohn Restaurant Group’s upscale Sea 180, The Shipping Yard (see page 95), and the just-opened Pizzeria Luigi, which picked Seacoast Drive for its third location.
NEIGHBORHOOD ICONS: Though it might be just a tad garish in daylight, the neon-hued sculpture Surfhenge, which serves as the gateway to the Imperial Beach Pier (a popular fi shing spot), is quite stunning when the setting sun hits it just right.
FUN FACT: Imperial Beach’s small size doesn’t necessarily mean housing is scarce. While a two-bedroom, two-bathroom beachfront
condo will set you back $850,000 (or more), head a couple of miles inland and you might fi nd
a completely remodeled four-bedroom with a large yard for less than $600,000.

SOUTH OCEANSIDETHE VIBE: South O has remained largely under the radar, often in the shadow of its bigger and more touristy neighbor, downtown Oceanside. But a recent revitalization of its business district, bringing new restaurants, breweries, and boutiques, has investors and young families clamoring to get in. “If downtown Oceanside is Cabo proper, we are San Jose del Cabo,” explains Charlie Anderson, owner of The Privateer Coal Fire Pizza and Marketplace & Wine Bar. “It’s where the locals live.” Anderson, who has lived in the area since second grade, has noticed an infl ux of strollers, bikes, and people walking rather than driving to the main drag. He says, “It’s getting more neighborhood friendly.”
HOUSING: Similar to other coastal neighborhoods, the inventory is scant and expensive. But South O’s beach cottages and old Craftsman architecture possess undeniable charm. Be prepared to move fast, as properties are
getting snatched up as soon as they hit the market and selling above the asking price. According to real estate agent Deb Harper of Coldwell Banker, the average price of a two-bedroom, one-bath, 946-square-foot home is $605,099.
AS FRESH AS IT GETS: The Privateer sources its produce from gardens at two local schools, Palmquist Elementary and Lincoln Middle. “Parents and kids come in to eat foods that they grew,” Anderson says. Also supplying South O’s fruit and veggies is nearby Cyclops Farms, a two-acre ocean-view gem owned by Luke Girling. Once a month, Girling’s customers participate in a “Water Bill Dinner” at Cyclops, helping offset the farm’s increasing utility costs.
LOCAL PRIDE: South O takes care of its own. During the holidays, businesses hosted a Shop Local event that was so successful there are plans to make it monthly, with live music and food stands. “We’re not competitive so much. We’re collaborative,” Anderson says.
KEARNY MESATHE VIBE: This centrally located area hopes to make exciting changes over the next few years. But what will never change is the fact that it’s conveniently circumscribed by the 52, 15, and 805, with the 163 running through the middle. It’s also a big job center, with companies like Northrop Grumman and the Jack in the Box corporate headquarters, so if you live nearby in the enclave known as Spectrum, you can bike to work. Spectrum stands in the area once owned by General Dynamics (north of Tech Way, between Ruffi n and Kearny Villa roads) and is now a mix of retail and homes from different developers.
HOUSING: Several phases of new townhomes and tri-level condos are sold out, although individuals sell them in the mid-$400s and $500s. Ariva’s fourth phase of apartments are scheduled to be available to rent this May or June—prepare to pay upward of $1,800 and make three times the rent. Residents are
professionals in their late 30s to 50s. (Read: no students. It’s quiet.)
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Nearby Convoy Street, the city’s hub for Asian cuisine, is gaining popularity, with new favorites like Pokirrito. Business owners have long hoped to make it the next Little Italy: more walkable, so you can stroll from your ramen dinner to karaoke, but also adding more than 200 angled parking spaces on side streets. The annual San Diego Night Market, which attracted more than 20,000 people last year, will take place again this spring and include even more food vendors.
GETTING AROUND: Councilmember Chris Cate says there are plans to spruce up Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, get more types of fl ights, and take on some of the business currently going through McClellan-Palomar. Also on the docket is traffi c signal optimization along Balboa Avenue; Qualcomm tried it on Lusk Boulevard and wait times were reduced by 24 percent. Cate is working to invest in more plans like these in the future. Green light!

MISSION VALLEY
EL CERRITO
THE VIBE: It’s an interesting time in the valley, not least because of the Chargers’ “Chexit” and the initiative to bring a new major league sports team to Qualcomm Stadium. Mission Valley almost feels like one big revolving door, with the departure of the Union-Tribune, the closing of Macy’s, the mixed-use redevelopment of the 200-acre Riverwalk Golf Club, the San Diego River Coalition breaking ground for the Discovery Center at Grant Park, and even Hotel Circle shedding its motel mentality—from the recently redone Hilton on Camino del Rio South to the ol’ Town and Country Resort about to get a big redo with an expected completion in 2018.
HOUSING: Residents are close to the movies, Fashion Valley, and freeways, but affordable HOAs are what make Mission Valley hot. Civita, which opened
in November 2011 and is about one-third built and occupied, is the biggie here. It’s a 230-acre planned community with 4,780 total apartments and homes. The units lean luxury, and some of the homes start in the $600s and $800s. Having earned several architectural and green-construction awards already, Civita puts an emphasis on design, but also on community. For example, the West Park apartments employ a full-time lifestyle director to plan wine tastings, cooking classes, and more for residents. Coming this April is the 14-acre Civita Park, from Schmidt Design Group, the same landscape architects behind Waterfront Park. It’ll be the city’s second largest public park. Future plans for Civita include retail, an elementary school, and a free shuttle to the trolley and other destinations.
THE VIBE: This residential nook wedged between Talmadge, Rolando, and the SDSU area has been long overlooked as a desirable place to live, partly because neighboring Kensington hogs most of the attention. The corner of 54th Street and El Cajon Boulevard, where El Cerrito starts, also leads off into three other hoods. El Cerrito came out of hiding when national home-hunting site Redfin named it the No. 1 up-and-coming neighborhood in the country a couple of years ago.
ARCHITECTURE: El Cerrito remains one of San Diego’s affordable urban villages, with historic architecture included. “You have a variety—art deco, Spanish, and postwar styles—whereas the architecture is more homogenous in surrounding communities,” says Ken Pecus, co-founder of Ascent Real Estate. “You can have the home you want in El Cerrito that’s close to the city, at a signifi cant improvement in price over Kensington and Talmadge.”
HOUSING: A listing on Zillow shows a two-bedroom bungalow in El Cerrito going for $387K, while Redfin lists the average home price in the neighborhood at $320K. However, Pecus says buyers would be hard-pressed to find a home north of El Cajon Boulevard going for less than $500K. With no new developments on the horizon, housing in El Cerrito is limited. And with its proximity to two freeways, Normal Heights and North Park, and the variety of restaurants scattered along the boulevard—Lebanese, Thai, Laotian, Caribbean, and Japanese, to name a few—we bet it won’t stay affordable for long.

“IF THE CITY DID JUST A COUPLE THINGS—liberalize the granny fl at ordinances to allow them in most places, and allow slightly higher densities, they could take a giant chunk out of the housing defi cit,” says Gary London, president of The London Group Realty Advisors. “The granny fl at would be an incredible boost. It’s a relatively simple and unobtrusive fi x. But the pushback is that adding them causes more parking and congestion on the streets. It’s such a minimum add that I think it’d be a small pill to swallow to accommodate the need.
“By the way, I’m sitting in a granny fl at right now. But I use it as a gym, home offi ce, and entertainment area.” London’s is a 900-square-foot space above his three-car garage in Point Loma, with stairs to his “skybox,” which includes a fi re pit and a 250-degree view of the ocean. The city wouldn’t permit him to rent the space out—however, neither do they check up on what people do with their property after receiving their permit. “Most people would cheat.”
Granny fl at renters tend to be very old or very young, and owners can use the revenue to supplement their mortgage. “It’s smaller and cheaper and appeals to people who have downsized, and it’s a great affordability solution for young families living in the home in front,” he says. “But the city isn’t there yet.”
In late January, Councilmember Scott Sherman, the new chair of the Smart Growth and Land Use Committee, held a housing summit and proposed a more liberal policy. “Easing the current restrictions on granny fl ats provides a great opportunity to
increase housing supply,” Sherman says. “With more families taking care of aging parents, and young adults staying longer in the household, granny fl ats can help provide the answer to help keep the family together.”
When the city does get on board, owners should do their research and crunch the numbers in each scenario.
Being a landlord for a full home is much more diffi cult. “You’re still going to have annual expenses: property tax, maintenance costs, possibly hiring a property manager and paying them 8 to 10 percent, and any type of association fees,” says Ryan Hughes, the owner of Bull Oak Capital, a fi nancial planning fi rm in Little Italy.
Hang on to your home and build a granny fl at if you can afford it and secure the permits. “The beauty of it is, your costs are generally fi xed while your rental rates go up over time.” He cautions, though, to make sure you know what the rental market looks like. Start with Zillow or Redfi n and fi gure out the average rental price in that neighborhood. Also, think about where you’re renting—are there renters? “Places like Chula Vista are good because a lot of military service members are looking to rent there.” —EMG

Why We Moved
�
“Flipping is a great barometer of whether a zip code is hot,” says Daren Blomquist, senior vice
president of ATTOM Data Solutions. He defi nes a fl ipped house as one that’s been sold twice within a 12-month period. Multiple fl ips in a specifi c area
means there’s a lot of interest there—either investors are renting it out or fi rst-time home
buyers are moving in. San Diego County, which is home to 1,174,901 single-family houses and
condos, had 530 fl ips in the third quarter of 2016, or 5.1 percent of all sales. That number is actually
down from last year—we are fl ipping less, no matter what all the HGTV makeover shows have
you thinking. And yet, San Diego’s fl ipping numbers still reveal some trending areas. Of the 98 zip codes in the county, 17 had no fl ips in the third quarter. The top three, with 21 fl ips each,
were in Oak Park (highlighted in last year’s feature), Rolando/El Cerrito (see page 80), and inland Oceanside. More expensive areas, like Rancho Santa Fe’s 92067, saw just two fl ips,
because it takes more time and capital to fl ip an 8,000-square-foot home. Clairemont and Kearny
Mesa (92111, page 79), had nine fl ips, which is up 51 percent from the same quarter in 2015. For the buyer, does this mean higher home prices overall and more competition? “Flippers don’t artifi cially
drive up prices the way subprime mortgage lenders did by providing access to high loan-to-
value mortgages and encouraging people to buy units they could not afford,” says professor Norm Miller, Hahn Chair of Real Estate Finance at USD’s business school. “The housing market prices are
driven by changes in demand—think demographics or income—or supply or a lack of supply—think about all the neighborhoods that
won’t support new housing development or more density. Flippers are not the cause of price
increases, but our local offi cials and our NIMBYs are. We desperately need more housing with
density and smaller units if we want to provide more affordable housing, but it has become harder to get approvals in urban areas or rural markets.”

ARE WE
FLIPPINGCRAZY?
How long were you in your previous neighborhood, and what made you move? Two years. We were looking to get into a better school district. Why Scripps Ranch? It has great schools, a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, and lots of charm in the more established area; it’s near Lake Miramar, with an easy commute to downtown, but still close to family in Mira Mesa. The schools in Scripps Ranch are known to be pretty good. Jerabek Elementary, for example, has a 10 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. The teacher-to-student ratio is 17 to 1. The Mira Mesa school our son would’ve gone to scored 6 out of 10 and had a ratio of 27 to 1. Diversity plays a role as well. It’s important to us that he go to a school that has a mix of ethnicities and cultures.
How did you fi nd this house? We had a plan to move in about fi ve years, but after seeing that we had enough equity in our
home in Mira Mesa and a rental condo in Mission Valley, we jumped into the market again. The pending interest rate hike played a factor, too. We were only casually looking, so we didn’t feel pressured to fi nd the right house right away. What are your commutes? Jeremy works in Bankers Hill, so the commute is about 25 minutes. I commute out of the airport to New York once a week.
The real estate market here in SD… Seems to move pretty fast. We’ve purchased a total of four homes here. We were very pleased that the sale of our condo in October went so fast. One day on the market and we had offers signifi cantly higher than the asking price. I would attribute that to the low availability of entry-level homes. It’s so expensive here that it’s tough to get in the market. It was also in Mission Valley, which is a hot location for young adults.
Buying tip? We try to fi nd houses that’ve been on the market longer than others, so we can have a better chance at negotiating.
Any nightmare stories? Four days after we were supposed to close on our Mira Mesa home, the lender decided not to fund the loan. Everything was in order prior to that, and we never found out what happened. We ended up fi nding another lender and closed a month later. Unfortunately, we had renters moving into our other house, so we had to stay with Jeremy’s mom and dad for a month.

What made you move? We lived in Point Loma for 30 years, 17 in the last house. My business shut down in 2009, and we did not want to have as much money tied up in a personal residence. Our last child was heading off to college and we felt it was a good time to sell.
Why Jamul? We can be in Rancho San Diego in 10 minutes and are close to gas stations, food, and groceries. We are also on a quiet street and have city water, not well water.
How did you fi nd this house? I was talking with a good friend who lived in Alpine, and he mentioned what a home was selling for in his neighborhood. It had 3 acres and was selling for 20 percent of what we’d just sold our Point Loma home for. That was a Wednesday. On Thursday I went online looking for homes in Alpine and didn’t see anything that interested me. I called my Alpine friend and asked him where he would live if it wasn’t Alpine, and he said, “Jamul.” I said, “Where’s that?” I found fi ve homes to look at in Jamul that Friday. We actually ended up buying the fi rst house we saw on the following Monday.
What are you excited about in your new place? The price was 40 percent of what we sold our Point Loma home for. So it helped us reach our fi nancial goal and allowed us to invest the other 60 percent. Also, the house was built in 2006, so it’s fairly new construction, well built and single level, very well insulated, and landscaped. It’s also low-maintenance compared to our 1936 Point Loma home. All the landscape irrigation is set up on timers, so we can lock it and leave it. I’ve also really grown to love the drive out into the country and the quiet of where we live. We have space on the 3 acres, peaceful country living, and great neighbors. We have very little fog and the temperature is usually only 10 degrees different from the coast. What are your commutes? It’s 35 minutes to Point Loma. Rush hour can add 15 to 30 minutes.
Neighborhood perk? A wonderful horse named Buzz. I visit him three to four times a week, and we have adopted each other. In truth it’s my neighbor’s horse, but I tell everyone I have my own horse. Fortunately, I don’t have to pay any of the vet bills, feed him, or clean up after him. My neighbor does all this, and still lets me call Buzz my horse. That doesn’t happen in Point Loma!
How long were you in Bay Park? What made you move? Thiago had lived in the condo for going on 10 years! I’d been there with him for seven. We were ready for outdoor space and to buy our fi rst home. It has been a dream of both of ours since we were kids.
Why Encanto? Encanto found us. We looked in Logan Heights, Barrio Logan, City Heights, and were open to go as far as La Mesa, but ended up loving Encanto when we saw the potential for larger yards and space between neighbors.
How long did you look? We were in escrow on a home a year ago and got cold feet and backed out. We started looking again this summer and closed on this place January 14.
What do you love about your new place? Thiago and I are so excited to renovate and put our stamp on our fi rst home together. The plan is to make the half acre of land into a sustainable, party-friendly hangout. We’re defi nitely homebodies, but we love the outdoors, so there will be plenty of yard work on the weekends. We’ve already met our neighbors, all of whom are incredibly cool and have been living in Encanto for years. Apparently, our street has twice yearly block parties and you can feel that the sense of community is strong. We are also in love with how quiet it is at our place—it feels a little bit country.
What are your commutes? When I’m not working from home, Encanto is 10 minutes to downtown. Thiago works in City Heights, so his commute is about 10 minutes each way as well. Our longest commute is to the beach.
Any tips for the potential buyer?Our biggest frustration was that there were always cash offers along with several other offers on the table competing with ours. In the end, we believe you end up in the house that you should be in. It’s good to just trust in the process—and have a great agent who can negotiate their socks off. We couldn’t be happier with our own little fi xer upper.

FUTUREYOUR
COMMUTE
MAGINE YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR YOUR JOB IN SORRENTO MESA AND THE RADIO REPORTS HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE 805. NOT TO WORRY—YOU’LL STILL GET TO WORK ON TIME.
You walk from your home in Normal Heights to what looks like a mini transit station. A small, self-driving “fl ex trolley” is waiting for you with its doors wide open. It’s off-rails, like a bus, but otherwise looks just like a sleek, modern train inside and out. The vehicle moves down the middle of the street in its own protected lane. As the vehicle nears El Cajon Boulevard, it drops into a tunnel and lets you off by the entrance to what looks like a subway station.
You touch your fare card to a turnstile and walk down the platform. An electronic sign shows the U70—“U” for the transfer station, UTC—arriving in two minutes. Shortly after, you step on board a conventional light rail car, just like any modern subway in the world, and you’re on your way, a few local stops before accelerating to express service.
Hillcrest Center… Fashion Valley… Sharp Medical Complex… Convoy… then UTC. Travel occurs mostly at street level, but at times is elevated or in tunnels.
At the UTC station there’s a route going to Sorrento Mesa every few minutes. You walk down the platform to transfer, step onto your vehicle, and less than four minutes later,

This scenario is no pipe dream. It’s a realistic vision of how an affordable rapid transit system can be confi gured to match San Diego. It’s called the “Quickway Proposal.”
Transit systems in cities around the world attract and serve residents of
all ages, incomes, locations, and from all walks of life. Transit in San Diego doesn’t. Nearly two-thirds of trolley riders, for example, don’t have a car. More than 80 percent of regular trolley or bus users come from households earning less than $50,000 a year. Market research shows that San Diegans are willing to consider transit, but that transit fails to offer a competitive alternative to driving.
What’s wrong with our current network of trolleys? Too many stations are too far from useful destinations. Take Mission Valley, for example, one of the region’s largest offi ce markets, but most offi ce jobs are beyond walking distance of a trolley station. Too many places aren’t and will not be served. Hillcrest, the heart of North Park, OB, La Jolla... not even in the plans. It’s also too slow, since there are no express trains; too infrequent, running only every 15 minutes; and its stations don’t provide enough protection from the elements—something that will prove increasingly necessary if our winters continue to be this rainy.
Plus, our current and planned trolley lines run in undesirable places, such as along noisy, fumy freeways, limiting stations’ ability to absorb and serve signifi cant new development. Even downtown, after the residential building boom of the 2000s, trolley boardings barely increased.
These are the reasons why the trolley doesn’t meet the needs of enough people.
The Quickway Proposal is different because it takes a smarter approach to building and locating transit infrastructure, which leads to faster, more direct routes that cause ridership to increase dramatically. A Quickway is a grade-separated two-lane road that, like a freeway, has no intersections. Instead, the Quickway goes either over or under other roadways. Stations serving Quickways typically feature passing lanes, which allow express routes to bypass most intervening stations and save riders time.
Unlike rail lines, Quickways don’t have to be built contiguously, because fl ex trolleys can use existing conventional roads. Two disconnected Quickway segments—say, a few blocks in North Park and a few more in Hillcrest—automatically cut transit time by a third; and, as the connecting pieces are built, travel time becomes twice as fast as driving.
The proposed network starts out supporting “rapid buses” and emergency vehicles, directly serving most of the region’s hospitals and other emergency services. As connecting pieces are built, they can be scaled up to rail or some new form of guided,
autonomous vehicles, but the benefi ts of the infrastructure are felt from day one. The Quickway Proposal would reduce overall transit time by an average of 65 percent
as compared with a 19-percent reduction expected with current plans, all while saving both capital and operating costs. By reaching into San Diego’s densest communities with real infrastructure, the Quickway Proposal better mitigates the traffi c and parking impacts of new development. It can also facilitate world-class transformations of most urban communities by making new town squares and parks economically viable.
Research shows that San Diegans will consider transit, but that transit fails to offer a competitive alternative to driving.

LA confidential: San Diego is the better burgh! Heading
into baseball season, it’s time for a little bragging and boasting. All in good fun, of course. We’ve got a lot that the City of Angels hath not. Here are 22 reasons why we
kick LA’s sorry (surgically enhanced) butt. And traffic is
just the start.
Southern California is widely considered “earthquake country,” but if you really want to split hairs (or tectonic plates) it’s Los Angeles that’s at greater risk for the Big One. LA has more fault lines than anywhere else in the state, and is within 35 miles of the southern segment of the San Andreas Fault, which seismologists say is capable of a deadly magnitude 8 earthquake.
San Diego County’s O� ce of Emergency Services says our region has “sparse seismicity” compared to its Southern California neighbors. Sure, San Diego gets some small earthquakes and would likely feel the rumbles of a big LA quake, but experts don’t think it would be the epicenter. San Diego’s own Rose Canyon Fault is considered the only major active earthquake fault in the urban San Diego region, but it hasn’t given us a good shake in at least 200 years. —JENNIFER MCENTEE
Two hundred million dollars will buy you a couple things. An island in the Bahamas. A presidential inauguration. Add $27 million, and you could even have the 2016 LA Dodgers.
� e San Diego Padres opened last year spending $99 million on their players. � e Dodgers had the highest payroll in baseball at $227,329,905.
� e Dodgers were like that youth soccer team from the good part of town who hires Pele to coach their six-year-olds, and resuscitates Sun Tzu to teach them the art of war. Of course that team is going to whup the kids whose parents have failed to drive cars fueled by gold and sa� ron.
So the Dodgers bought—excuse me, won—the division. At this point, is it about baseball anymore?
I have, at times, wished the Padres would spend bazillions of dollars and bring a World Series to San Diego. But now I take pride in the fact that when—it’s not an if, it’s a when—the Padres manage to take the title, it will be with a scrappy team of underpaid players who won by raw talent, sheer will, and magic.
Yes, the Padres are the Bad News Bears. And when it � nally happens, the payo� will be that much sweeter. You can buy greatness, or you can make it. One of those is expected, and one of those is memorable.
We have a lower earthquake risk

I could have lived in LA. When I relocated from Virginia, my employer said I could go anywhere they had an o� ce. LA was their top market, and I was working on a (really bad) screenplay. LA made sense.
But that’s not what I did. Los Angeles was overwhelming: tra� c, pollution, aggression, masses of people. LA was less a place to love than to endure. San Diego seemed more manageable. I was visiting a friend in OB, and there was something about the way the light hit the water o� the pier. It just felt like home.
� at was 25 years ago, and that decision gets validated frequently, particularly in my work. I write about biotech—translating the science into English. I can’t imagine a better place to ply my craft.
Most people think of San Diego as a tourist mecca or a military town, but my lens is biology. I think about the stretch from UCSD to Sorrento Mesa: Salk, TSRI, Sanford Burnham Prebys, Illumina, and hundreds of small companies trying to move genius ideas to market—a target-rich environment.
� ere are actually more life sciences professionals in LA County than San Diego, but it’s kind of a misleading statistic. Many work for just one company, Amgen. San Diego’s biotech community is more distributed.
In fact, San Diego has something LA wants: a life sciences startup culture. � e LA County Board of Supervisors recently earmarked $3 million for LA BioMed, a bioscience incubator. � ey’re sick of seeing their young entrepreneurs � ee to San Diego and the Bay Area. Who can blame them?
� at’s what makes San Diego such a vibrant life sciences community—so many clever people willing to risk everything on an idea. Edico Genome is developing hardware and software to accelerate genomic diagnoses. Organovo is 3-D printing liver and kidney tissue to advance drug discovery. Tocagen is developing a gene therapy to treat the most deadly brain tumors.
Some people lament that San Diego doesn’t have a big biotech to anchor the cluster, like an Amgen or a Genentech (now part of Roche), but I think that � ts the city’s personality. We’re smaller, more agile, quicker to the prize. We have a community of serial entrepreneurs who develop a therapy, sell it to one of the big guys, and reinvest the proceeds into a brand-new idea.
I don’t have the nerve for that sort of risk, but I love talking to people who do. Living in San Diego, I never have to look hard to � nd them.
OUR
Leaving Los AngelesMost of the cities on either side of the nearly-2,000-mile US-Mexico border aren’t even worth a pit stop. (We’re looking at you, Antelope Wells.)
In our case, we have two dynamic cities straddling la frontera, which means double the fun.
Tijuana’s reputation as the street taco capital of the world is old news: between Telefónica Gastropark and Taco Alley, there’s a truck or stand for everyone. What’s newer is the city’s � ner dining delights: stalwart Misión 19 still churns out inventive Mexican cuisine, Oryx Capital has a delicious suckling pig and Verde y Crema is a paradise for locavores. Drinkers will enjoy the multitude of craft beer tasting rooms, like at Insurgente and Border Psycho, as well as the craft cocktails at Nórtico, Oryx Capital’s speakeasy.
Galleries like La Caja Galeria are hosting some of Mexico’s most esteemed artists, like Tijuana native Jaime Ruiz Otis, who uses recycled materials from foreign factories, or maquiladoras, for his pieces. Design stores are popping up everywhere, too: Object stocks only Mexican makers, and Casa Duhagón, featuring designs from its principal, who is also an architect, is a decorator’s dream. Speaking of design, Tijuana’s � rst boutique hotel, One Bunk TJ, is set to open on Avenida Revolución. In it, there are a handful of smartly out� tted rooms and a pop-up store from Object.
� ere’s also Cross Border Xpress, which opened in late 2015. For just $16 each way, you can skip the border and Tijuana tra� c, park in the United States, and access the Tijuana International Airport via footbridge, opening up a world of lower-cost � ights. To date, 1.3 million passengers have done so. International travel doesn’t get any easier. Take that, LAX! —Jackie Bryant

“� ere are more agents in LA, but they are, like the town itself, TV- and movie-focused, so I’d much prefer to be agenting books from San Diego, an ever-waking giant. On the edge of America, bordering Mexico and the Paci� c, we can see beyond the con� nes of the New York publishing maze and focus on our authors, who are based in California and the world beyond. � e bottom line is, once you make your mark, phone calls are returned, so why not live in America’s Finest City?” —Legendary literary agent Sandra Dijkstra, on choosing to live and work in San Diego

We grow more avocados
Holy guacamole!San Diego County is
the leading producer of avocados in the US, according to the San Diego County Farm Bureau. In fact, 40 percent of all avocados grown in California come from our region.
Fallbrook is hailed as the “Avocado Capital of the World,” and hosts a free avocado festival each April with an annual attendance of more than 100,000 people taking in avocado-themed art, a guacamole cook-o� , food vendors with delights like avocado gelato, and even a “best-decorated avocado” contest. —JM
WHAT YOU MISS ABOUT LA: � is might sound strange, but the gra� ti—not tagging; there is a di� erence. I’m used to seeing a lot of street art. � ere is some in SD, but in LA, we have some really intricate, beautifully done artwork all over downtown. It highlights our diversity, our culture.
GOOD RIDDANCE TO: � e tra� c. I would have to allocate an hour of time to get anywhere. Here, I can hop in an Uber 15 minutes before I need to be somewhere, and I’ll make it in time.
SAN DIEGO RULES BECAUSE... � e slower pace of life down here has allowed me to enjoy things I wouldn’t otherwise appreciate in LA, like nature, meditation, relaxing beaches, and health and wellness.

Nobody Walks in LA, But � ey Should By Maile Proctor
Within two weeks of living in Los Angeles, I paid over $200 in parking tickets. I lived
there for almost � ve years before coming to my senses and moving back to SD. It’s true: Nobody walks in LA. But if more people did, they could avoid some of these issues:
You need a law degree to read parking signs. � ere’s a di� erent parking sign on every street corner: “Two-hour parking Monday–Friday, except during hours divisible by four, ignoring daylight saving time and feast days (Julian calendar only).”
Don’t expect free parking. Not at the grocery store, Target, the post o� ce, work, your friend’s apartment complex, anywhere.
“What’s the point? Everywhere you go has valet!” � ere’s a valet in places where there shouldn’t be, like IHOP and Runyon Canyon. And regardless of where you are, valet parking’s an overpriced hassle.
A tra� c jam, when you’re already late. � ere’s no such thing as an ETA. You can ask Waze or Siri and they’ll give you their best guess, but you need to tack on extra time for tra� c. � ere might
be a restaurant opening, movie premiere, or the president’s motorcade is in town, or they’ve simply decided to shut down an entire freeway (carmageddon).
Jesus, take the wheel. � ere’s a guy who stalks the streets dressed like Jesus. He used to hang out near Sunset and Highland and Crescent Heights and Wilshire, but I’ve also run into him at � e Comedy Store. Moses parted the Red Sea, but Jesus has no such powers in tra� c. In fact, he makes matters worse. People stop to take pictures. Keep it moving: Honk for salvation and be on your merry way.

If you want to enjoy a pint of beer or a glass of wine right where they are made, LA County is a bit of a beverage desert: It’s distinctly lacking in local breweries, wineries, and vineyards.
San Diegans are especially lucky from a fermented beverage standpoint: We have an astounding variety of choices that are not only easily accessible, but also world-class in terms of quality.
On the beer front, San Diego currently boasts more than 130 breweries, spread out across the county. We have brewers as far north as Fallbrook and Oceanside, as far east as Alpine and Julian, and we have seven breweries just between Chula Vista, El Cajon, and Santee. Not to mention about a dozen brewpubs in North Park alone.
LA County has 26 breweries—one of which is Pabst—most of which are in the hard-to-reach downtown area. By comparison, we’ve got 26 breweries just within the stretch from Oceanside to San Marcos.
Of course, if you want to talk about the quality of beer produced, there’s little doubt that San Diego outshines not only Los Angeles, but most every other county in the nation.
Dozens of our breweries have won major medals at the biggest national and international beer competitions; last year San Diego won 32 medals at the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival alone, and Karl Strauss was crowned 2016 Mid-Size Brewing Company and Mid-Size Brewer of the Year by the latter.
Don’t get us wrong, LA breweries
are—by and large—excellent in terms of quality, but San Diego has gone beyond just quality; it has actually created its own unique style of beer. � e now-famous “San Diego style” started with turbocharged IPAs that were super-hoppy, big, bold, and bitter. � at approach soon spread to other styles of beer—including pale ales, pilsners, and Belgian styles—and is now emulated by breweries around the world, including in LA.
Prefer reds and whites? � ere are 115 wineries in San Diego County and they—much like our breweries—can be found in every corner of the region. Los Angeles County has 25–30 active wineries open to the public, but we have 35 in our central inland area alone (between Escondido and Ramona), including Domaine Artefact, Highland Hills, and Milagro. If nature � ares up your allergies, we’ve got urban wineries, too, like Vinavanti or LJ Crafted.
Chalk it up to San Diego having more distinct wine-friendly microclimates than any other county in the US, resulting in more than 60 vinifera varietals—everything from France’s Bordeaux and Rhône to Italy’s Tuscan and Piedmont and Spain’s Rioja—not to mention the old classics from right here in California, like primitivo and petite sirah.
Wherever you may be in San Diego County—you can most often get to a brewery or winery in less than 20 minutes. And where does 20 minutes in LA get you? I think you already know the answer to that one.

San Diego knows Mexican food like only a community this close to the Tijuana border could.It makes sense. San Diego is the birthplace of the Roberto’s Taco Shop chain, a 24-hour fast-casual eatery that knows its way around a carne asada burrito. Founded in 1964, there are 14 Roberto’s in San Diego today, and hundreds of worthy ’bertos imitators, from Adalberto’s to Juanberto’s to Rigoberto’s. � e closest Angelenos can get to an actual Roberto’s Taco Shop? Mission Viejo. In Orange County. Lo siento, amigos al norte. —JM
MARCH 2017 SDMAG.COM 93
Not only have Mexican food outposts � ourished in San Diego since the 1920s, but we expanded the menu, introducing a drink and two dishes to the rest of the nation.
FROZEN MARGARITABack in 1947, bartender Albert Hernandez Sr. (who passed away in 2006) invented the frozen margarita at La Plaza, a Mexican restaurant once located in Bird Rock.
Hernandez’s take was an adaptation of the margarita served at Rancho La Gloria, the Baja restaurant often considered the cocktail’s birthplace. Instead of serving the drink on the rocks, Hernandez combined Jose Cuervo Gold tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and ice in a blender. Made by the pitcher, the slushy margs were served in salt-rimmed glasses adorned with a lime wedge.
So the Chargers have left us. I won’t say good riddance, because I died inside. � e Chargers were a bridge between me and my father. � e Chargers were better than church.
But I will say this: poor Los Angeles.
� e Chargers have gone to a city that has proven unable to keep a football team. � e Raiders left. � e Rams left (and returned). � e Chargers left (they started there in 1960). Los Angeles loves cheekbones more than it loves football.
� ere’s a reason why football doesn’t work in Los Angeles. First of all, in order to navigate LA tra� c, you’d have to leave on a � ursday to make the kicko� at a Sunday game. Second, tra� c is awful. � ird, tra� c is bad.
No one will go. � e “sel� e value” just doesn’t pan out.
And now LA has two teams—the Rams and the Chargers. � e Rams have the richest owner in football. � e Chargers don’t. Who do you think is going to spend the money to brand the team and win over the hearts of Angelenos?
� e Chargers are now the bridesmaid, not the bride, to a town that doesn’t care. � ey are the microscopic � sh in a big pond.
Trust me, San Diego, when I say that we’re better o� . We can take a few years spending that money on things that matter—education, infrastructure, fraudulent city contracts—and then invest in a team with an owner who has the clout and passion to actually compete.
San Diego Super Chargers, no more. In Los Angeles, they are the San Diego Superfluous Chargers.
We’ve only lost one team
CALIFORNIA BURRITOYep, that wonderful forearm-size frankenfood in which french fries share top billing with carne asada, salsa fresca, cheese, and guacamole. It’s an a� ront to the cold-pressed juice lifestyle and we’re okay with that.
Granted, its origin story lacks detail. According to Gustavo Arellano, a leading historian of Mexican American food, it was � rst sold in the 1980s by the ’bertos chain, the San Diego family taco shop operation that began with Roberto’s and includes Alberto’s, Filiberto’s, and others. But no one can recall which ’berto invented it, nor the speci� c year it was � rst sold.
Still, two points are incontestable: french-fry-� lled burritos didn’t exist in the US before they appeared in San Diego, and fries make everything better.
FISH TACOSan Diego State alum Ralph Rubio introduced America to � sh tacos in 1983. His � agship? A converted Orange Julius walk-up stand on Mission Bay Drive dubbed “Rubio’s Fish Tacos.”
� e business idea was inspired by surf trips he’d taken to San Felipe during college, when he and fellow Aztecs fueled their pursuit of swells with the prized Baja street food.
Today, the � rst brick-and-mortar Rubio’s, which sits on the spot of the walk-up, is just one of 201 restaurants operating in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and Florida.
His surf days are behind him, for now. “I still have all of my boards,” Rubio says. “I need to sell a few more � sh tacos before I can ‘retire’ and paddle out again.” —CP

WHAT YOU MISS ABOUT LA: I miss going to Dodgers games with my family. I do root for the Padres, but it is always tough when the Dodgers are in town.

San Diego has the 12th-best park system among the largest 100 American cities
according to � e Trust for Public Land (TPL), the national nonpro� t that advocates for the creation and improvement of parks. Los Angeles didn’t even place in the top 60.
Because parks make up so much of our city area (nearly 40,000 acres), they’re less people-dense than, say, those in LA. According to ParkScore, TPL’s rating system, 30 San Diegans are served per park acre, compared to 100 in LA. Less crowding means better access to playgrounds, recreation centers, and basketball courts.
Also, more of us live within one mile of a public park than someone living in LA, and when parks are plentiful and nearby, they improve a city’s quality of life: Studies have shown that people living in or near green areas experience a 12-percent lower mortality rate.
� is year will see upgrades to existing playgrounds in park-de� cient communities, such as Chollas Lake and Larsen Field, and the completion of new skate parks in Linda Vista and City Heights, thanks to the department’s pursuit of federal and state funding. —CP
In terms of public parks, we are � elds ahead
Of San Diego County’s 4,526 square miles, one-third of our county is public land available for recreational use and all is accessible within a two-hour drive. Add to that the 2,000 species of plants, including the rare Torrey pines, and San Diego really is still wild. San Diego’s jagged topography lends itself to a rich and varied landscape—we have the largest biodiversity of any county in the US–and while sunny and 73 degrees might seem like a constant, our highest and lowest temperatures have been recorded at 122 F in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park’s rugged badlands and a chilly minus 4 F in the pine-shadowed canyons of Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. More than 500 species of bird have been recorded by the San Diego Audubon Society, at least 23 of which are endemic to this region. Look for the light-footed clapper rail and Belding’s Savannah sparrow at the Tijuana Estuary, then visit the mountain town of Julian to see frenetic white-naped pygmy nuthatches creep up oaks and rare white-headed woodpeckers bore holes in a pine snag. But birds aren’t the only animals here—San Diego is also home to 742 species of mammals, which includes the endangered peninsular bighorn sheep, found on the foothills surrounding Borrego Springs, or the jumpy Stephens’ kangaroo rat. —JADE BELZBERG
Nature OUR
IS BETTER AND CLOSER
Since 2009, the county has taken in 23,094 refugees from 34 countries, according to data compiled from the U.S. Department of State. � at’s more than any other region in California, making us a leader in the state’s e� ort to shelter people forced to � ee their home countries due to violence and persecution. —CP

WHAT YOU MISS ABOUT LA: Koreatown! � ere is nothing better than walking into that hole-in-the-wall spot at 3 a.m. and getting a bowl of kimchi soup. I miss Runyon Canyon; my restaurant was at the base of it, and I used to run it every day. I also miss the competitive culinary scene of Los Angeles, like going to Ink by Michael Voltaggio to check out what the most cutting-edge ideas are at the moment.
WHY YOU CAME BACK: I had been planning to open � e Shipping Yard in Imperial Beach for many years. IB is where my family is from. My West Hollywood restaurant closed in 2015, and the entire food scene had grown so much in the years I was away.
WHAT YOU MISS ABOUT LA: San Diego has my heart, but LA has my stomach. I miss restaurants like Cho Cho San and its “911 roll”—a savory and spicy tuna roll with avocado, scallions, and chili oil. LA also has California Chicken Cafe and Zankou Chicken—a Lebanese restaurant that serves a delicious rotisserie coupled with a to-die-for garlic spread.
GOOD RIDDANCE TO: � e nightlife scene. It’s much more pretentious than San Diego. It’s common for a club to pop up for about three months before being shut down, and completely remodeled and renamed, by the same company. Also, you have to stand around and get handpicked to enter. So, unless you know the bouncer or are with a group of women, good luck!

Los Angeles has an amazing restaurant scene. I’m not going to tell you di� erent. To say San Diego has more options than LA is to admit lunacy.
What I will tell you is: San Diego’s restaurant scene is better.
San Diego has more small farms than any county in America. And if I’ve learned anything as a food writer, it’s that small farm food tastes a hell of a lot better than big farm food. It’s the di� erence between Coors Light and craft beer. � e fewer things you focus on, the better those things are. Period. A pretty basic law of life.
LA has great big farms. � at’s nice. San Diego has great small farms. � at’s better.
Food tastes best the very second it is pulled from its source. Every second after that, it slowly descends into mediocrity and eventual spoil (not to mention it starts to bleed nutrients).
To test this theory, taste a ripe tomato as soon as it’s plucked from the vine. Hosannah! It tastes like an actual tomato. Sweet, acidic, perfect. It tastes like the tomato your grandmother swore tomatoes tasted like, and why she complains every time you cook. Now taste that same tomato three hours later. Still good. But less good.
“Farm-to-table” is an abused word. A lot of BS. Hell, fast food gets their produce from a farm somewhere.
But San Diego is by far the country’s truest “farm-to-table” mecca. Our 6,600-or-so small farms deliver the world’s best produce to our chefs in the shortest amount of time.
Chino Farm? � e one that helped make Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck famous? It’s not in Beverly Hills. It’s here.
Admittedly, Santa Monica had the � rst great farmers’ market in Southern California. But those days are over. Now, San Diego’s farmers’ markets are the greatest thing in not only SoCal, but the globe.
Our chefs are cooking with this produce. Los Angeles is cooking with it, too—just a couple hours or days later.
San Diego also has an ocean as its border. Groundbreaking studies have revealed fresh seafood to be desirable. Due to soul-sucking tra� c, seafood takes longer to get where it’s going in LA. Nothing kills the quality of your restaurant meal quite like rush hour on the 405.
San Diego also has a Mexico, which is growing some of the best produce, olive oil, and wine in the Americas. Sure, Los Angeles can get some of that action, but only after a few hours in a hot truck. Congratulations on second place, Los Angeles.
On top of it all, LA lives and dies by trends—and trends are meant to die. With four million residents, a new restaurant opens up every six seconds or so. And with every restaurant that opens in LA, a formerly trendy restaurant closes. You may be thinking there are too many restaurants opening in San Diego—and there are—but LA is 10 times worse.
Instead of hopping from one trendy restaurant to the next, San Diego diners repeatedly visit their favorites. � at repeat business helps restaurateurs, and they use that money and experience to get better. A lot better. Longevity breeds excellence.
So San Diego has the freshest produce and seafood of any big city in the world. Our restaurants tend to last longer, which yields better food. Sorry, LA. We’ll send you the food we don’t use. —TJ
LA can’t come close to San Diego’s food quality
A shopping district like Melrose. And a Barneys!
More high fashion—in shops, on the street, at work.
A light rail to the beach.
Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney: the shops, the food, the freaks.
Big wide boulevards, like Wilshire and Sunset, that serve as city arteries and double as highways.
Iconic restaurants like � e Ivy and Dan Tana’s, and more maître d’s in tuxes.
More Jewish delis and at least one JFD.
� e Polo Lounge. � at Martinique wallpaper at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
A storied college crosstown rivalry, like UCLA vs. USC.
� e Broad. � e Getty. � e Pantages. � e Ahmanson.

Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire is ranked as a 2017 Tier 1 “Best Law Firm” in San Diego by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® in the following five categories:
• Commercial Litigation • Construction Litigation • Personal Injury Litigation,Plaintiffs • Real Estate Litigation • Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions,Plaintiffs
Over a billion dollars in verdicts and settlements
You hear a lot about the awards that law firms win for their clients. What you don’t hear a lot about are the honors that attorneys win from their clients and their peers. That’s because they are few and far between for most law firms.
For the past 39 years our most meaningful awards are the ones that don’t make the headlines.
Like having a grateful client name a child after one of our partners, or having three of ourpartners named as Best Lawyers in America. Two have been part of this elite group since its inception in 1987. Or having partners recognized 23 times with Outstanding Trial Lawyer Awards from the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego.
All three founding partners have been honored with the San Diego Bar Association’s prestigious Daniel T. Broderick lll Award for Civility, Integrity and Professionalism in Law.
When it comes time to choose a law firm, look beyond their courtroom record. Pick the law firm that other lawyers consider outstanding.
What defines a best law firm?
Six Years in a Row!

With more than 50 years of combined legal experience, father and son
trial lawyers Michael Kirby and Jason Kirby continue their formidable reputation with their newly launched litigation firm, Kirby & Kirby. In their first year since leaving Kirby Noonan (formerly Post Kirby), they have amassed an uninterrupted string of victories for their clients, including a recent Court of Appeal decision upholding their client’s recovery of 10 to 1 punitive damages. With an ongoing focus on business and commercial litigation, their new firm continues to differentiate itself by representing both plaintiffs and defendants in all kinds of litigation cases.
Highly regarded among their peers, Michael and Jason receive frequent referrals from local attorneys and have been hired to represent numerous firms when lawyers need a lawyer. They bring to the practice a passion for providing personal attention and a commitment to achieving the most successful resolution to each and every dispute.
“We adapt to the needs
of our clients; the common
denominator is a successful outcome.”

Growing up, Erwin Shustak always stuck up for the underdog.
“I never liked or tolerated bullies” says
Shustak. Those same instinctive advocacy skills have garnered him numerous awards and accolades in a legal career started in New York- the epicenter of high stake financial and securities disputes- and spanning four decades. With a team of top-notch attorneys, Shustak oversees a San Diego–based firm with a national reach focused on securities, financial services and complex business disputes. Firm clients include Fortune 500 companies, broker-dealers, registered representatives, venture capital firms, investment advisers, high-net-worth individuals, and financial institutions. “We stand between our clients and their problems and get them the results they deserve” added Shustak. With skill, experience, and tenacity, Shustak Reynolds & Partners is one of the few local firms capable of understanding and resolving the high stakes disputes that arise in the securities and financial worlds. “We’re honest, ethical and strategically aggressive” he added. Shustak has been named a Superlawyer® six times; one of the “Best Lawyers in America”; a “Best of the Bar”; a “Top Lawyer in San Diego”; a “Top Rated Lawyer in New York”; the
“Top Commercial Lawyer in San Diego” and one of the “Top 100 Litigation Lawyers in California”, among many other awards and recognitions, both local and national.
“Nothing in the world can take the
place of persistence…Persistence and
determination alone are omnipotent.”—Calvin Coolidge

In 2016, attorney Robert Vaage recovered more than $25 million for his clients. This extraordinary record of success explains
why so many San Diegans turn to Mr. Vaage to represent them in cases involving personal injury, defective products, and medical fraud.
Mr. Vaage is recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2017 San Diego Personal Injury Litigation
“Lawyer of the Year.” He is one of America’s Top 100 Attorneys and is designated as Super Lawyer both in San Diego and Southern California.
He’s especially proud of his pioneering work in the area of medical fraud. “We’re making a life-changing difference for patients who’ve been the victims of conspiracies between medical device manufacturers or pharmaceutical companies and doctors,” Vaage explains.
“We’re trailblazers in this field, setting new standards for justice in cases of unwitting human experimentation, conflicts of interest, and unethical financial incentives.”

BUSINESS LITIGATION; REAL ESTATE LITIGATION
After decades in big firms, Mark and Daral Mazzarella created Mazzarella & Mazzarella LLP, a boutique firm devoted to client success and personal attention.
“Big-firm division of responsibilities is inefficient and costly. We are personally involved in cases from start to finish. That is more efficient, yields better results, and saves money,” says Daral Mazzarella.
Mark notes, “We have more trial experience than most business and real estate litigators. Our attorneys have more than 85 years of experience.”
The brothers are repeatedly honored by peers and judges as Top Attorneys, Super Lawyers, and Best Lawyers, and perennially receive Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent Rating.
