few people are aware The city has a huge shortage of firefighters, 1:1,400 citizens. The national average is 1:500.

san diego's firefighters live in alpine, julian, rancho bernardo, san clemente. very few live close to work. not one that i've talked to lives in an adu.

Fire department inspections AT schools and high rises are delayed or not happening.

Response times to 911 calls for accidents and medical emergencies are 50% higher in san diego than the national average.

police are so short-staffed, they can't respond to minor problems.

San Diego has nice weather and a few places still have a beach-surfer vibe.

Hipsters can be seen throughout the city, in cozy coffee shops, breweries, at VFW halls, in surf shops, out surfing, riding bikes and e-bikes.

HipsterS live in chic Little Italy and Downtown in the Gaslamp District and in hip and funky north park, OB, mb and PB.

They get their groceries delivered, SHOP AT Costco, TRADER JOE'S, OR THE NEAREST STORE. THEY take an Uber at night.

hipsters with children live where the public schools have good rankings, which ELIMINATES little italy and THE gaslamp.

Hipsters have mixed feelings about airbnb. they hate to be karens about noisy guests, but they like to enjoy their apartment!

HIPSTERS have little interest in the city's $300M deficit, exorbitant pension fund AND THE CITY COUNCIL. yimbys of the same age embrace politics and housing issues.

millenials, gen z and zoomers think san diego is unaffordable. a mortgage or rent near good schools and parks takes almost two weeks of their pay.

Daniel Shkolnick, Atlas West, ADU builder, thinks tiny one-person ADU apartments provide affordable housing for firefighters and teachers but he offers no proof.
