(1) Aren’t the places in Temecula with larger lots in bushfire country?
(2) What’s wrong with being non-rich (aka middle class) in SD? Sure you don’t get as much floor space, but for $3-400k you can still have a decent house or condo within 10-15 min of the beach, and 45 min of the mountains in the other direction. Perhaps even the same distance to Balboa Park.
(3) Temecula: suffer less. That sounds like a good slogan for a nursing home and not a town!
