[quote=AN][quote=CA renter][quote=KSMountain]In addition to the commute CAR, don’t forget about the heat out there. :)[/quote]
You’re just trying to keep the coasties out of your ‘hood, aren’t you, KSM? 😉
Actually, it gets plenty hot here along the coast at times…and it is much more **humid**!!! To me, that is worse than anything. In the east county, at least you guys have air conditioning and pools. We have neither, and just have to lie on the tile floors under the ceiling fans when it gets really hot. :([/quote]
Why can’t you get AC and a pool by the coast?[/quote]
The swimming season with a non-heated pool is very short along the coast, maybe 3 months, if you’re lucky. Also, the cost/benefit analysis for A/C really doesn’t support getting it here. As the OP said, there are about 10 days of “unbearable” heat/humidity, and paying $5K-7K (not sure what it is now-a-days), just isn’t feasible unless you have lots of money to throw away. Most homes along the coast do not have A/C.
Anyway, for us, we are renting, so don’t want to put all that money into our rental.
