Bunny, while i don’t live in the brook it is the town next door and I have worked there in years past. What you need to realize it that in any agricultural area, you are going to have workers and they have to live somewhere. There is a very large Guatemalen population, low paid enlisted and their families and civilian military service workers. The majority of Fallbrook is gentlemen ranchers and the well to do but the cheap housing is located within walking distance to shops so it is overly visible. Your (my) sanitized temecula has poor people too, they just clustered the low income housing in certain areas and out of view (accross the river from old town and at Margarita and Solano). While you may have lived in some Major cities, a farming town within an hours drive of a third world country was’t on it, so it may take some getting used to. We natives tend to not notice these things even in plain view because most of us don’t see the farm workers as a threat, for the most part they are harmless.
Fallbrook has some beautiful homes, but most are not visible from the main roads and even more are off easements or nestled in the trees or hills away from view, it’s a different type of people and not the “look at my big house” type so you have to follow Allan’s advice and get off the main roads and tour the outskirts.
