SAN DIEGO
San Diego County had a lot of good material and it's really big so I'm giving it 2 seperate threads. This one includes San Diego County roughly south of USCD. The other one covers the county roughly north of USCD.
This isn't too bad, actually. At least it's dense and looks nice. Though still auto-centric.
Unreal. These were on a hill overlooking the ocean, I think, somewhere in LaJolla or thereabouts.
Older stuff.
New stuff.
Still-under-construction stuff.
Manufactured home park.
More older stuff.
Older stuff on the hills.
Nice views.
Still more older stuff. Looks like maybe late-60's or 70's.
A respite from the sprawl. Go Padres!
Not only does the US spend ungodly sums of money on hideously big houses with 3-car garages, we also spend ungodly sums of money on sports stadiums and highrise condos.
And if that weren't enough, we also have to spend ungodly sums of money to build or buy oil tankers to transport all the oil needed for all the sprawl. And we also have to spend ungodly sums of money to build Navy warships to protect ourselves so we can drive our SUV's without anyone bugging us.
Hopefully.
Some lots left. Grab one before they're all gone!
A little bit of everything. Houses, school and apartments.
More on the way.
Back to some older stuff. Looks like 70's houses.
Office park. With empty lots waiting for more offices.
Beachside stuff. Not really sprawl but I thought I'd stick it here anyway.
Lots of this in the San Diego inner city areas. Not really sprawl, but it gives you an idea of what else is there.
So colorful!!!
Some older stuff, just starting to get a bit rundown. But still some nice houses left.
You can play tennis during your lunchbreak.
Big high school.
Just had to include this.
This kinda reminds me of some of the stuff in Phoenix.
Mobile home park.
Apartments near the freeway.
Apartments near another freeway.
This was kinda interesting. It also reminded me of some of the stuff in Phoenix.
Office park near the freeway.
Miscellaneous mixed stuff. Looks kinda nice, actually.
The Mormon temple!!
It was actually smaller than I imagined from seeing other pictures of it.
This wasn't too bad. Ultimately still very auto-dependent, however.
Also "dense," but still very auto-centric. On the other hand, what isn't these days?
Expensive stuff at the bottom, average stuff at the top.
A truely hideous sort of landscape which, unfortunatey, is replicated a million times all across America.
Interesting housing type. Look very closely.
