“If everybody had an ocean, across the USA……” (January Newsletter)

Not only do we have an ocean here in San Diego, we have an awesome micro climate and business ecosystem. We are geographically privileged… ocean to the west, desert then mountain to the east, Mexico (aka as the “new China” for its powerhouse resources), and of course the amazing Camp Pendleton buffer, manned up by 8,000 Marines keeping the OC and LA uh, “up there”!

But there’s far more amazing facts about San Diego:
• 2nd largest city in California
• 8th largest city in the US
• #1 in concentration of Military/Defense Assets
• Voted #2 Most Inventive City in the world 
• #1 most-patented Sports and Active lifestyle sector
• #4 in Top Life Science and Biosciences locations
• Young City:
•      #1 in Millennials as a percent of population 
•      Median Age: 34.9
•      25% of the population is under 20
• Forbes: Best Place to Launch a Start Up
• 80+ educational and research institutes in the region
• UCSD Graduates more engineers than Berkeley and Stanford… Combined

Add into all this data the SANDAG plan to connect the county’s 7 major residential areas with the regions 5 major employment hubs by light rail…all with met “last mile” autonomous micro cars, you can begin to see that San Diego is undergoing a transformation.

The really great news is the population shift we’ll embrace... a sport, active or healthy lifestyle… that's opportunity we can all embrace.

Can’t wait!
