I agree with you, flu. My comment about “making a killing” was actually meant to include all of CA, not just San Diego, and, even then, I do realize that applies mostly to niche populations–some of which you mentioned–and some of which are represented here on Piggington.

Also, I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned creating a “sustainablity” factor. IMO, this factor is “a,” and possibly “the” key determinant for individuals or families who wish to stay in CA for the
long-term.
