Thoughts on El Cajon area

[Kevin Phu]

I wanted to throw some ideas and thoughts at the experienced crowd.

Background: I currently live in El Cajon. Specifically in the area around the Main and Jamacha/Second intersection right off of the 8. In the past year or so, that area has built a Chipotle, Jamba Juice, Wingstop, Yogurt Land and the Sprouts is currently under construction for expansion. 

With these developments, what do you predict for the future of El Cajon? I feel that over the long term, property values will rise and the neighborhoods will become nicer and more appealing.
