Exactly parallel to me. Started SDSC in 1966, gradutated SDSU 1972, I was squeezed out of the area in 1981. I did move to where I had a great career, so there's that. Since retirement, I've d lived in Germany. Life's nothing if not weird, man.
Enjoyed this fabulous video today! Not a geologist, but always interested and fascinated by it. And especially by my beloved hometown San Diego. ❤️ Thank you for sharing this video!!
Yup, I was squeezed out in 1981 in my early 30s. I miss it, but too many people and too congested for my taste. Much less dense here in Germany where I've lived since retiirement, ironically enough.
I've been in SoCal all my life and San Diego County since 1967. Fishing on inland lakes, finding sea shells. Rounded rocks on Mira Mesa. 300 foot cliffs. Offshore underwater canyons. This answers some of my questions. I should have gone to college and studied geology.
thanks I'm a native san diegan and currently taking geology right now :) i just accidentally stumbled on this while researching stuff for my class on beaches! :) how cool of you to post this, and now i can really know about my beautiful city!!! :)
i remember when you were researching the rose canyon fault system. there were markers in the pavement on ardath road i could see every morning when i drove up that road to go to my classes at ucsd. the local news did a report showing that stretch of road and what you were studying.
In 1980 ,GEO 101 @ Grossmont College, I took my one and only course- still have the text. The professor, Shannon O'Dunn was a great instructor. She proposed that the great prevalence of conglomerate in the county, and signs of water erosion on Mt Helix was indicative of great flooding. Makes you wonder...
Born and raised. Could not have grown up in a better place . It’s been a dump since 1988 . I left and every time I come visit I get more sad to see what has happened to the whole state
@@Terrifier1984 I'm guessing English isn't your first language, so I'll try and simplify. Although I grew up in the San Diego area, I've lived in many countries. And have I ever lived anywhere else ??? Sure, I presently reside in Scandinavia for the past 15+ years. But now I'm wondering what that has to do with the subject.
"...but thousands of years ago, long before San Diego ever had a name, people still came to this place..." That would likely be a first, then, that a region with such bountiful resources didn't have a name among those who visited it in their cyclic wanderings for subsistence, I'd say.
I lived in San Diego for over 20 years, great times and some hard and trying times, never thought it sucked though. You must have had a tough time of it, sorry that your experience was so lacking. I've lived all over the world and I still miss San Diego
I grew up in San Diego County and found this video to be quite interesting. My heyday years were 1968-1975, and I do miss it. ✌️

Born & raised, 20yrs great place to visit & have fun if you know where to go? But to many people to live comfortably! Best weather!

such a cool video. i've been looking everywhere for information about specific locations here. not much in-depth analyses like this
San Diego was the jewel but no more there's way too many people, The good vibe Is long gone It's very very sad.
That has been my experience too.
I remember watching this in a segment featured on kpbs almost 20 year's ago! Time flies! 🤯

Phenomenal book! Done right to tell the story!!! Congrats...I dive deep! It was recommended by SIO!!!

Didnt know geology documentaries had such fire sound tracks
❤Dick Dale and the Del-Tones( and geology, of course).
Absolutely Fascinating. Thank you !
I'm a native san Diegan but had too leave California because of terrible legislature and everything being overpriced
cool story
I don't blame you, I did the same. There is no other place in America with that weather though.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
Should have applied yourself better at school and got a better job instead of blaming it on others.
What year was this video? 1995 or 1996?
Caption says 2002. Often the early 2000's can be viewed as 90's since technology was really taking off at that time.
@@1customermaniac Thanks!

Really ??? A virtual Paradise ??? I think this video needs a major upgrade in reality.
You most have geological problem on the brain !!
Have you been in other countries?

Don't blame Saint Andreas. It's not his fault.

Mustache game on point
I knew someone had to have beaten me to it.
My town! My street! Gimme piece of mind, it can't be beat!

THe pre-European residents certainly had place-names. Guatay, and Otay, are a couple of names that remain.
Kumeyaay
Cool, I smoked weed with Pat in the desert back in the day......
Aaaaahhhh, I remember those days. Smoked a couple on Black's Beach too. Sigh.
Deceiving title.
Yeah San Diego sucks big time!
Then leave
Sean Munoz Who said he lived there?
