Regional assignments are generally for where the end-user hosts will be.
You specified tunnel routing for your subnet, so your route goes through
the UCSD tunnel IPIP router, but because you're located in Denver and that's
where your end-users will be, Denver is the proper subnet and not the subnet
for La Jolla.
If you're planning to route your subnet directly to the Internet backbone
by advertising a route with BGP from a data center, that's an entirely
different matter and you need specific permission from the network owner
to do so, which according to the portal database, you do not currently have.
