My apologies, I was not trying to make this into a Temecula vs SD debate.
I’d love to move to San Diego (closer to work), but I can’t afford any areas in San Diego with schools comparable to Temecula (again, at my price point).
Speaking of values, I should qualify by saying I can’t afford San Diego without my spouse returning to work.
My spouse is a California certified teacher, and yet one of us staying home with the kids is that important.
