Split-roll property taxation measure may make the ballot in California's 2020 election and be a talking point in the upcoming elections. Under the proposal, businesses would have their properties reassessed to market values every three years or less. Proposition 13 has limited California commercial property assessed values on the original purchase price of the asset, with an allowance for small annual adjustments. #SplitRoll #CRE

Airbnb Report: Teacher hosts in San Diego earned $2.7 million in 2017

The ocean temperature off San Diego coast is the warmest in 102 years of measurements.

The ocean temperature off San Diego coast is the warmest in 102 years of measurements. Based on some commercial property inspections my office was conducting out in Pacific Beach last week, there is no maritime effect cooling the air in the beach cities these days. Oceanfront tenants that normally should have been perfectly comfortable were sweltering by 11 AM. If the summer temperatures continue to be this hot, air conditioning will become a required amenity for Class B properties along the coast. In the past, this was considered optional. Because this will increase the electricity bills more tenants will be looking to commercial property owners to purchase solar panels to offset the new expense. #Heat
