Opinion: Should La Jolla become it's own city? We asked, San Diego answered. [Opinion]
My professor at San Diego State University, who served on a city of San Diego advisory committee, said he would routinely refer to “Northwest San Diego” until one day when the representative from La Jolla asked him if he meant La Jolla, and if so, why didn’t he say La Jolla?
After all, there is a city of Del Mar. Del Mar has four main things: a beach, a race track, a fair and over-the-top-expensive homes.The only big issue in La Jolla is that some sea lions have decided to make La Jolla home. Humans, people who live in La Jolla, made the beach a little more comfortable for a family of sea lions. The problem is some La Jolla residents, the ones residing in the old La Jolla, find it beneath their dignity to allow sea lions to reside on their beach.
But the people of La Jolla can’t be concerned about those people when sea lions are bothering them. It is amazing how the communities of Nestor, Palm City, Otay Mesa and Egger Highlands have their own beauty. And yet the San Diego City Council has continually pulled the plug on helping to beautify further these communities.
While the idea of having that beautiful village being separate from San Diego is in the forefront of their minds today, the dream has lived in their hearts for decades.The problem here is that our leaders are not listening to the needs and wants of each community throughout the county.
