Where is the source of these demographic figures? These numbers don't look right at all, with a collective total of 116.85%! Just counting the Asian/Pacific Islander, White, Native American and Hispanic-Latino statistics alone yield 91.85%. 16.9 % of the population was Hispanic or Latino."

I've lived from coast to coast to coast and back and feel this was the worst place. We constantly heard old timers (people who'd been in the area for 15 years or more) say how it was great back then, but they couldn't stand the place any more for the overcrowding and exorbitant prices. About the only good thing was there were several options for ethnic food which made lunch more enjoyable than the standard fast food chains - but that can't be much of a ringing endorsement of the place. COL was incredibly high and value for dollar (housing, etc.) was incredibly low - I still marvel at 9.5 x 9.5 third/forth bedrooms (a very small study and essentially a big closet were the only practical uses we could find for them - don't think a decent bed would have even fit in either given the door and window placements). My fellow residents also had no respect for other peoples' vehicles - I got more parking lot dents in two years there than in the 5 years since (well actually I haven't gotten any more dents since) and we're talking two or three inch long, "let's see how hard I can hit this guy's vehicle with the edge of my door" crap. and the lights are such that you have to sit through multiple cycles of each to get from A to B.

There literally are no alternative routes to Mira Mesa Blvd. Traffic was incredible - my office was two miles away from my home and it still would take 15 - 20 minutes to get there in the morning. Lived in Mira Mesa for two years and found it to be horrible. "Perfect blend of California living"? Sounds like the Chamber of Commerce has been editing the entry!

Just because he's Vietnamese doesn't mean he's from Mira Mesa!!! He grew up in City Heights and Santee. Someone added Dat Phan to the Notable People From Mira Mesa section, I've never heard that he was from Mira Mesa, nor can I find anything on Google about it.

The entry as it is (and all other San Diego entries) are very sugar-coated! It would be useful to either cite or counterclaim it. (but if you do include it, just so you know, Manila is spelled with one l)- Teh darkcloud 01:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC) Yeah, it should be mentioned. I never realized it was offensive to some people, however I'm not sure if it's really an important thing to include. Is there any reason the link to in the External Links section keeps getting taken out? It's certainly related to the article. If anyone disagrees, please let me know before editing it out.- DavePretty 16:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC) Mira Mesa Website? That is, if it's a success and truly becomes an annual event.
