VERY nice- and yes- top notch! San Diego sure has changed it's skyline in the 25 years since I was there! Very nice and a great ride- I always loved the Coranado Bridge and had the honor to cross it a few times while I was in San Diego 25 years ago while there with my aunt! Very nice- and a great soundtrack to go with it- I-8, I-5 were two I got to explore a bit when I was in SD and it's nice to see some of the changes in the past 25 years! Another favorite of mine was the Cabrillo Freeway as well! SD- really is one of my favorite cities! Sorry about the delay in viewing! Well WORTH IT!

I lived in San Diego as a kid from 1993 to 1996. I've been considering heading there for a Spring Break trip (almost picked it over Colorado this year). Seeing how things have changed from my memories to what is shown on Google Earth Streetview is pretty staggering. If it wasn't for the expense of living there, and the radically "eclectic" mix of people that live there, I'd be welcome to the idea of living in California at my own volition. Also, I still can't believe San Diego hasn't done anything about it's airport problem. I really wish they had made the effort to develop a floating airport like what was proposed in the late 90s. The other options are to turn the general aviation use airports into full fledged commercial service airports. Miramar is the only one currently with the capacity to handle such use, but would have to be able to work around USMC operations. They could greatly expand the airfield in a way to keep commercial operations separated with dedicated runways.
@cjs831728 жыл бұрын
+Blitzvogel Mobius The thing about the airport problem in San Diego is, where do they have the space to improve the airport? I think the only way to improve access would be to build an access terminal near where Washington Street meets I-5, because that would grant close freeway access, but doing that would essentially flip the airport terminals and entries. There's really nothing that can be done about the fact that the current airport is too antiquated, or not big enough to handle the number of flights that go in and out every day. As for your ideas concerning Miramar, certainly that is a big enough area, but aside from the issues regarding the USMC, there are also big traffic issues with that area, especially regarding I-15, in addition with the lack of public transportation in that area. I actually think a better idea for a new airport would be Camp Pendleton. Obviously, there are the same issues regarding the USMC, but while freeway traffic is an issue as it pertains to I-5, if an airport is built in Camp Pendleton, especially near the Oceanside end of Camp Pendleton, it would take pressure off both San Diego Airport and John Wayne Airport in Newport Beach, as Camp Pendleton virtually splits the difference between the two. In addition, given the fact that two NCTD routes already go into Camp Pendleton, in addition to the fact that both Amtrak and Metrolink go right by there, should an airport be built in the Oceanside end of Camp Pendleton, there's obvious mass transit access, both by bus and by rail. They've also talked in the past about building an airport in Boulevard, given the fact that there's a casino not far from there, but that's never made much sense, given that Boulevard is pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

you have filmed the essence of the major highway thoroughfares through San Diego. The 5, I, ,52, 163, and others...I had to learn quick when I was stationed out in SD 2000-2005. They still look the same...not as much traffic though. Traveling from Coronado to Miramar Stables...and to Del Mar, and to downtown, Mission valley, Imperial Beach and the border, Point Loma, EL Cajon and Lakeside, and LaJolla, and up to Temecula, LA, and other places....brings back memories. You must have been traveling not during rush hour....Your change of lanes and exits were very smooth. Makes me wish I was there..lol. You do great. Do you do this for fun..or for a living?

Another great video. Been enjoying your videos since 2015 when contemplating a move to Denver, and your contributions really opened my eyes to the beauty of our country. Also, as someone who highly appreciates good music, I think you do a stellar job of audiotracking your drives. When I heard World Party on this particular video, I had to sit down to personally compliment you. Another track I thought was perfectly placed was "Midnight Cowboy" over an El Paso sunset. Lastly, I've lived in Atlanta myself for the past 20 years...Candler Park, Oakhurst, Downtown, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Emory, VaHi...all over. I have to ask, what keeps you here? Why not live in one of these other beautiful cities?
