La Jolla Takes a Hit From Google Maps
Jonah Stein forwarded me this missive from Josh Vickers, founder of TaskSquid, who seems to be in cahoots with Adam Harris of Calacles.com. Apparently Google has misplaced La Jolla:
It is Official. The Jewel of San Diego, La Jolla, once nestled on a prime stretch of Pacific, has taken root in a new exciting? location. With the help of Google and its location-based search, La Jolla, rated by the Robb Report as the Best Place to Live in America, has uprooted itself from its San Diego base and found itself in Fullerton, California….A major concern of the move has been the effective decrease in property value as La Jolla’s new location under the 57 overpass in Fullerton has found La Jolla’s housing market stifled to say the least. At its coastal location, the median home price sat around $964,000. In its new location near Fullerton, La Jolla’s average home price is teetering around $380,000”
Note to La Jolla – maybe it’s time to claim your Google Place Page.
