Tijuana has always been a refuge for those who can’t afford San Diego. But what was once a stream has become a flood.
“If you’re talking about anybody who is doing a minimum wage job, which is a lot of people in this city, they can’t afford it,” said Laura Ann Fernea, the CEO of the City Heights Community Development Corporation and leader of the San Diego Eviction Prevention Collaborative.and was the former president of the Association of Real Estate Agents in Tijuana.
The pandemic has also played a role by exacerbating San Diego’s housing crisis — particularly among people who worked low-paying jobs in the hospitality, retail and service industries, Fernea said. He used to be able to fund units in Playas de Tijuana, which is 15 minutes from the border, for between $500 and $600 a month. Now he is lucky to find something in the $900 range. He’s noticed similar price increases in other neighborhoods like Las Palmas and Hipodromo.
The hard truth is while people in San Diego can go to Tijuana, the people of Tijuana don’t have a similar option. “If you’re willing to go to Rosarito, that’s where the price starts to fall because you’re adding an hour to your commute,” he said.
