Is Encinitas the New Detroit?

Albertson's is closing.  Toygarden is going out of business.  Home Depot Expo is kaput.
Soon there will be nothing left except drug stores and golf "superstores." The city council should organize a junket out to Detroit to learn about urban decay and blight.
New Encinitas businesses supply the majority of sales tax revenue and local jobs for the city. So we should all hope as the economy turns around, new businesses will fill those empty locations.
Perhaps we should bulldoze it all and turn El Camino Real back into Green Valley.

Circuit City doors







Green Valley - before all the failing business were built it had one business...a farm
