What's it Like Living in MIRA MESA?!

[@DustinEmersonD]

Grew up in Mira Mesa. Roughly 3 years ago I had to leave. My family and I were able to get a condo, but as everyone from the bay area moved down we had to just admit we would never be able to afford a home big enough to raise our kids near family. Many of our friends have left too. The attitude of the natives here are really negative toward all the wealthy people who are moving in, kicking us out, and putting up inclusive signs in their grass that make them feel better. It's pretty painful feeling replaced. Mira Mesa had been such a diverse place to grow up. We had our own local celebrities like Willie Santos. To this day I don't know a neighborhood like it. It still has a lot of that makeup but I don't think for so long. The new people who move in would rather spend their money at Sprouts than Vin Hung Supermarket. Wealth is coming in, but it came into the real estate, not to our community. It's a large reason why we just left America altogether. I wish we could have stayed. It's heartbreaking to even think about.

I don't even recognize it anymore. I don't recognize San Diego anymore. It's no longer "Southern California's best-kept secret."

I loved my time growing up in Mira Mesa during the mid 70's to early 80's.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@wno1043]

Yep. We bought our Mira Mesa home in 1972 for $21,500.

Danny, I appreciate your low-key, conversational style in your videos. It's like we're hanging out in these neighborhoods and you're giving all the pros and cons, rather than trying to be a comedian or whip up a frenzy by the camera jumping around and club music playing. Well done and keep the informational videos coming!

[@danny_quesada]

This means a lot thank you! No plans on slowing down just doubling down the only way I know how. Again, thanks again this gave me a much needed boost. Hope you're having a great Sunday!

Lived in Mira Mesa from 1971 to 1977, where I attended Hickman Elementary. There wasn’t much to Mira Mesa in 1971 lol.

[@wno1043]

In 1972 when we moved from Windansea, Mira Mesa Blvd didn't even go all the way through to Sorrento Valley. Our hippie friends in La Jolla thought we had "gone off the deep end" and joined the establishment!

[@wno1043]

We left Mira Mesa in 1993 and moved to NE Ohio. So glad we left when we did. (My wife is a native San Diegan ...it was her idea to leave)

I grew up and lived in MIra Mesa from 1986 to 2014. The community has changed a lot and not in a good way. All of the streets are just heavily congested. I know all of the back roads that connect you to Miramar heading to La Jolla, Black Mountain, or Sorrento and Carmel Valley. I remember when Camino Santa Fe did not connect to Miramar Rd or Black Mountain did not connect to PQ, and when Calle Cristbol was not there with houses and connected to Sorrento Valley. Now ADU's are being built in Mira Mesa and crime is getting worse. No thank you I will not live there again.

[@alexwallace6120]

Danny, There needs to be more movement, more excitment, more action and less talking. Show us what some of the stores, restaurants, get a quick bite to eat, show some homes. I had to stop watching at 8:00 min. Check out other SD realtors Bern and Courney, Dan Parker, and Wesley.

[@danny_quesada]

Hey Alex, I appreciate your feedback! Right now, I'm working on training my new videographer/editor to improve the video quality and add the qualities mentioned. For the time being, we are focused on getting content out there and doing our own style as opposed to a one size fits all approach. It'll take some time. Thanks again!
