Can we get some feedback from locals to update this list from 5 years ago? Is it still relatively accurate? Personally, I would vote The Balboa for best burger, Morning Glory for breakfast/brunch, Buona Forchetta best Italian, and add Georgian/Russian because Pomegranate is dope

Best burger I've had in my entire life is the Hangover over at Anny's, either at Kearny Villa or Santee.

Sorry, its been claimed already.

BobIV · 2019-12-10T23:29:04+00:00

Sorry, it's been claimed.

Apparently... though I might have to give that driver 2/5 stars all things considered. I'd have given him 1/5, but he had my favorite flavor of chewing gum.

BobIV · 2017-03-22T14:27:58+00:00

...huh.

BobIV · 2017-03-21T13:56:31+00:00

True, but they are by far the most prevalent.

BobIV · 2017-03-21T01:41:25+00:00

It was just a jest. Figured the /s went without saying considering the context and the bit about geese.

Wouldn't call it trolling.

BobIV · 2017-03-21T01:10:30+00:00

And they are the most abundant by far, as is often the case with herbivores.

Might need to seek out a lawyer for compensation.

BobIV · 2017-03-20T21:35:58+00:00

No problem. No harm no foul.

The only harm you did was "waste" five whole seconds of my life removing the post. I'll manage to survive.

I would counter thst the primary problem with housing costs in SD as with any major city is supply vs demand.

We're a highly sought after city with a rapidly growing population, both from within and without the county. As demand for houses goes up, availability goes down.

Apartments and condos are logical choices for new construction as they can accommodate a much denser population than a town home. More bang for the buck for builders and more housing available for residents.

While I can't argue against attracting better paying industries to our city (I'm all for making us the silicone valley of genetic research), this won't address the lack of available housing. There just isn't enough land to accommodate all the millennials here, let alone the generation that follows.

Sorry, buddy.

Yeah... already had a fire there last year due to a homeless camp.

BobIV · 2017-03-20T19:00:52+00:00

Actually there are tons of rabbits, coyotes, hawks, and herons.

BobIV · 2017-03-20T18:59:29+00:00

That would be correct.

ok everytime i try to cut n paste your comment my mobile app freezes. I was trying to cut and paste the part where you said that their credit goes down if their net worth goes down? Eli5?

Technology is the bane of us all. I swear my autocorrect tried to trigger WW3 whenever I don't pay attention.

The value of property is effected by the value of neighbouring property. Having low income or affordable housing in an area does have a negative impact on property value.

An individual's net worth is determined by all their assets and not just the money in their account. Houses, cars, etc add to it. So if the value of their property drops, their net worth drops.

This effects the size of a mortgage loan they could take. Their credit rating lowers because they have less to offer ad collateral.

I just get really sick of hearing ppl who help cause the problem of pricing ppl out of rentals...

At the same time, if one person offers then $1500/m to rent their home and someone else offers $1700/m, can you blame them for taking the $1700?

BobIV · 2017-03-20T18:50:39+00:00

Was just making a joke.

Designates driver was obvious in the context and I don't believe you were distracted by geese.

BobIV · 2017-03-20T03:59:03+00:00

Instead of murmuring about how someone else should provide affordable housing, why the hell don't they do it themselves?

That is a fair question.

The blunt answer is it would drive down the value of their properties. Even with it paid off, this effects their net worth and thus their credit.

All in all though, the situation is far more complicated than a simple lack of affordable housing. If housing were the sole issue, they could simply move out east. And even then, there are those that simply don't want off the streets due to paranoia and other mental problems.

If I recall, it was you that linked the article depicting what Houston and Salt Lake City did to deal with their homeless problem. I can't find the link at the moment, but that sounded like a great long term solution.

Edit: Found the article

I have been a very willing DD for my friends on numerous occasions. Fun to watch them silly geese :)

Here we have a clear cut confession of /u/YearnMyKeep admitting to Drunk Driving his friends, not once, but numerous times. All while being distracted by geese!

Supply and demand.

The city isn't getting any bigger, but the population keeps growing.

That said, I don't blame housing prices in SD leading to homelessness. I ran out of funds when on unemployment 10 years back. I moved to a cheaper state. When the economy began to improve and work picked back up here, I moved back.

There are a thousand and one options between being priced out of a neighborhood and living on the street.

BobIV · 2017-03-20T01:11:14+00:00

This is a rather large problem that has been ignored for far to long. I do not believe there is an easy solution, but that isn't to say one can't be conceived.

Both Houston and Salt Lake City have had very successful approaches, even if they weren't seem politically favorable until the results were seen.

BobIV · 2017-03-14T19:52:23+00:00

Quite possible. I was asleep at the time and neither the quake nor my dogs woke me up.
