A lot of people commute, mostly working regular retail, restaurant jobs in south San Diego and there is an industrial area called otay Mesa, I worked in a factory there and about half of the people commuted from tj

You have to get a sentri card which lets you skip the lines, it takes me 2 minutes to cross but I walk across, I'm not sure how fast it is if you are driving, but presumably that is pretty quick also

Another recent wrinkle is that Mexico set up their own border checks so you need a passport to go into Mexico, which wasn't the case before, before you just walked in

I have a global entry card which works the same as the sentri (sentri is just for mex and can)

Btw, every respectable coli member with 6 figures and six certs needs to get a global entry card so you never have to fuk with the lines when you come back to the us

But yeah, tj is blowing up, they pretty much have all the typical brands from Walmart to Applebee's to Starbucks and you can buy property for less than 50k and rent it out

Hell that's kind of legit then. In that case it is possible to live very affordably in TJ and work in SD.

Yeah, the only problem is that south San Diego has a lot of low paying jobs, all the high paying jobs are in in north San Diego, it's possible but not practical IMO to commute from tj to north San Diego but I'm sure people do it since a lot of people also commute from Temecula, in southern cal a lot of people tolerate 2 hour commutes, not me tho

San Diego
Many I knew, and have met, wake up at 3:00 AM to cross by 6:00, and be at work at 7:00. These are industrial/labor jobs usually.....it's not an easy life for the working class of San Diego who live in Tijuana, but the dollar stretches so much further down there, they can make a much better life for themselves then en el otro lado.

oh fukk yes. You can live confortable in tj with a min wage job in SD

Commute fukking sucks thats why i quit. I had to wake up at 4 and be at work at 7. Leave job at for and be at home at 6:30

Sometimes id even drive at night and seep in my car so i could get 8 hours of sleep. If you dont have a sentry card it can take up to 2 hours just to cross, PLUS whatever commute to get to work and the traffic in sd

2 times i got late to work because you never now how long the line will take. And my manager had the nerve to say "i dont see any effort in you trying to get here early"

Dont even get me started with tj traffic. City is now overpopulated

@newworldafro

Yea most people i know here in tj who commute work min wage jobs, waiters, retail etc

I was working at a dealership all the way in mission bay, there about 6 guys there who all commuted from tj but they were either mechanics or worked in bodyshop

That's what I was thinking, but didn't know about Sentri Card.

As long as you not involved in banging or slanging drugs, you'll be fine. The most crime an average civilian will encounter there are pickpockets and the occasional mugging. And it when it comes to mugging, it's the same rules as everywhere: give that shyt up:yeshrug:
