Coca Cola plant closed - more job losses in San Diego?

[hitman619]

I had 2 childhood Friends that worked for coke at that plant. One was upper management the other was a sales Manager, both started at the bottom and work their way up to 100k, 80k respectively. They both left for greener pasteurizers in and around 10 years ago as they saw the writing on the wall. They started ripping the tenured and experience sales people for clueless entry level people. The entry level people made way less and was expected to do just as much as the tenured folks. that made a revolving door of sales that they still have today. Most of the good sales people from plant on Federal Blvd left many years ago and landed good jobs else where.
I personally think they should build housing there. There is only a couple of smaller Business, SignTech ect.. in that area and most of those Business are on life support anyways, so why not be proactive city of San Diego.

It would make way more sense of an area to build homeless housing then in existing single family homes smack in the middle of an existing hood (Clairemont).
