[quote=bearishgurl][quote=briansd1]I’ll say what nobody else is saying.
Chula Vista is jokingly called Chula Juana. The image is that of a lower-class Hispanic community with a culture of Tijuana. True or false, that image is sticking. And because of that, a great number of folks would rather commute to Temecula than even think of Chula Vista.

Not only is your remark about Chula Vista factually false, it is racist.

It’s racist to say that there is a section of hispanic society that is lower class? I don’t think so! There is a section of white society that is lower class too!

That may have been the public “perception” of Chula Vista in the 80’s and prior but it was even further from the truth back then. Not only do all races co-exist in Chula Vista (as they do in ALL areas of the county), many thousands of persons of “Hispanic” origin (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 or full) who reside in Chula Vista and elsewhere in the county no doubt have been far more successful in life than other “select” races.

What a lot of people don’t realize (unless they live there or visit there often) is there are a large number of Navy families in CV. It is convenient to their workplace and actually has a number of real nice areas on the east side of town.

In other words, you can’t always determine someone’s “race” by their looks or surname.. [/quote]
No, but CV does have a large population of hispanics, that’s a fact. I’ve lived there. I know. I’m not saying it is a bad thing, I’m just saying it is a fact.

I’ll just say what nobody else wants to admit. Dollar for dollar, you get a lot more bang for your housing buck in South County, including many big lots and great schools.

We owned a condo in CV. When we were ready to buy a house, we looked in CV again. It was too expensive! We actually got more bang for our buck in San Marcos!
Also, weren’t you the one who kept saying that San Marcos streets were not up to normal code ordinances, poorly maintained, etc? This is nowhere close to fact, so I find it amusing that you are now up in arms over someone making statements about your neighborhood.
