That said, San Diego City is NOT as hard red as it used to be.

We have a 5:4 majority in the City Council for Dems. There are a couple districts, like District 8, that Republicans could not elect a dog catcher, if the post existed.

And the city, it is population trends, is becoming even bluer. A generation and even El Cajon, Santee and La Mesa, probably Lemon Grove, will be quite blue. Now Alpine, Boulevard, Lakeside and Julian, no, that will not change. If anything people will leave in greater numbers, especially the far east county, due to water issues and climate change.

Piece of trivia for San Diego, the Conflict for the County Seat was between San Diego City, full of northern Yankees that came after the Civil War, and Julian. full of southern rebels that came after the war; some of that has not gone away. There is a reason we never tell people East of the 15 that we are Jewish.
