The part that frustrates me is that all the public investment goes into Downtown SD amenities for tourists instead of neighborhoods or places that locals actually care about like Balboa Park.

True story, my friends were visiting from NYC last week, they have been to SD many times. They stay in Normal Heights, hit the beaches in the AM and the bars in greater North Park at night. At dinner (Jaynes Gastropub) they said "we've been coming here for 10 years and we've never been to downtown SD, is it worth going to?" The whole table of locals said "nope".
seems some herd mentality going on

Ha. Or maybe many of us natives agree that downtown isn't the best representation of San Diego, and that there are many, many other places worth spending your time if you're only here for a short while visiting.
