Just back from weekend in Newport Beach. It’s a beach community like Encinitas and Carlsbad just wealthier. I itnever said would be as wealthy just that it would be our version of it which it is becoming. The NCC has more amenities including golf courses, restaurants, shopping and entertainment than any other part of SD. It has two of the Premier resorts in SD and many more very nice ones. Do you spend much time here? Do you spend much time in Newport Beach? I spend a lot of time there.

La Jolla is more comparable to Laguna than Newport Beach. Old money vs new money. Artsy vs Flashy. Tucked away with challenging access to transportation corridors.

Irvine is at least 15 minutes from the beach. Most of the housing is older. It’s in the middle of an employment center. It’s nothing like Carmel Valley.
