Aww, thanks TG – I have been reading this blog since it was very unpopular to mention the words “housing bubble,” and I have enjoyed your posts and wit for all these years. You are right, smart teachers move here for quality of life. My husband and I make the same here as we did in South OC, but now we can afford to take our kids on vacation and save for retirement. You can’t beat the Temecula drum forever, some people will always feel snobby about a mountain between them and the beach, some people will move here and love it, and some people may privately snicker at the fact that both of us who live up here and are happy have a totally inappropriate love affair with run-on sentences and commas.
