[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=The-Shoveler]In SoCal, Suburbs have a way of turning into big cities, then your back home again and have to search for a new burb.

Basically in most cases in California suburbs don’t die, they just turn into cities.[/quote]

Hollywood and west LA were suburbs.

But Temecula is too far away to be a vibrant city.

I’m interested in how people are moving back to the city like Washington DC and downtown SD. I think the city and some select close suburbs (such as alexandria, va, Carmel Valley and carlsbad) are the future. Temecula, not so much. If you’re just a home and family person who doesn’t care to be near cultural stimulation, then Temecula is fine. But so is a ranch in the middle of Kansas…. so long as you have some way to make a living.

But me, I’d rather live in an apartment in the city than a huge house in Temecula. I like traffic and people all over. Waikiki, Honolulu is great. You can walk out every day and enjoy all the restaurants with all the tourists.[/quote]

Not so much a walking City, there is really only so much downtown in SD that is habitable (well nice really) really not like DC or NY (In L.A. parts of the city are downright dangerous after dark).
L.A. is really More of a suburban mega metropolis, I see SD and OC and RC just becoming part of that great mega metropolis,

Temecula has been growing and continues to grow very fast.
I think it will be more like Valencia, Simi-Valley West-Lake etc.

This whole City revival thing is a little over hyped I think as well, maybe in NY DC Boston etc… not SoCal as much.

Would not surprise me to see the TV population surpass Carlsbad’s current population in a few years.
(TV is adding people much faster).
The death of the suburb has been greatly exaggerated.
