I think it is funny when people ask who can afford a million dollar house. There are lots of high paying jobs around here to fill those homes. My problem is less who can afford it but who really thinks they have an ocean view from La Costa Oaks. That is rediculous but I know people who think that way. Ocean view is when you can see the waves breaking and white water.

13 minutes one way is just to get to the freeway.

I love your blog…great insight. I worry however that you’re going to crash your car while filming and driving!

A 13 minute commute is considered long?

So where does that put my 10 minute walk to work?

@ Russel,

13 minutes is too long, that’s 26 minutes round trip!

It is what it is means…

Good community, good schools, people care about their community, small town feel, tract homes very close together, ok access to I-15 and I-5. Reasonable priced housing, varying fee rates. From $300 a month to $700 a month for MR + HOA.

I live here too. The majority of the community was financed with option arms and neg am loans. There is a govt map that outlines this fact. As I have gotten to know my neighbors and community, the prevailing story is one of distress. The community will be feeling this distress for the next few years.

Bottom line…people bought homes they couldn’t afford. I know news flash! There is just a higher concentration of them in our community.

Nice fire canyon, good thing there’s a firehouse so close.
The first group selling well…the buzz must have been good
Hasn’t there been a plastic/aluminum version of those doors for about 30 years in banks and malls? $10,000? Sheesh.

Great to see the bubble mentality is alive and kicking in California !

It’s Adam not Troll person. Although that is pretty funny. I do live here in SEH and like it a lot but it is definitely just for families. Could you explain your last two sentences?

If everyone really hates tracts as much as they write, then there is a great future for North East Vista and Northern San Marcos estate style living! Its what everyone wants, but are afraid to look at. Do you think Cal La Vie and Golden Door spas were placed there by accident and can charge 5-10k per week per person?
