City living more affordable and convenient

The recent mortgage crisis, coupled with the rising cost of fuel, is getting people out of the suburbs and back into the city. People can no longer afford - nor do they have the patience - to travel great distances to/from work, or for shopping. We're seeing more and more people moving to the city where public transportation is available and convenient. In fact, the number of homes built around train stations and public transit is supposed to double in the next 20 years, according to ABC News. Click here for ABC's News clip "Ghostburbs." The Quarry Falls community in Mission Valley will allow people to live closer to work and transportation, while at the same time providing parks, schools, etc., which are things often lacking in urban areas. You get most of the community amenities that people moved out to the suburbs for, but in an urban infill area interconnected with access to greater San Diego.
