ctr it is obvious from your post that you have not been to Old Scripps south of Pomerado. It is not cookie cutter at all with the exception of the new homes built after the fires in 2003. Same story for many parts of Poway.

Also it is not just about where you send your kids to school but the neighborhoods they grow up in. If you think that raising a kid in the neighborhood you mentioned is safer then say a cul de sac in Scripps or Poway or 4S or Encinitas or La Costa Valley then you can have at it my friend.

Sometimes when you want to raise a family it really is not about how “cool” Mission Hills is. Maybe you will never have kids so it will not matter but if you ever do have a couple of little ones, I think your outlook will change.
