My coworker moved to TV in ’96 at the last downturn from a house in central Mira Mesa. He said it was to get in a much quieter, safer neighborhood– that gangbangers were running around his MM neighborhood having gunbattles; police chases in his cul-de-sac, etc. He got into Temecula at a wickedly good price, but has had the hellish commute ever since and now I am hearing hints that neighborhoods in Temecula may be heading downhill too (I’m not sure if that’s true).
