Fabulous weather and proximity to ocean, mountains, and desert. That’s pretty much it. The only other place I would consider growing roots in is Greece. A positive cash flow vacation rental on St. John or Kauai is on the list too.
If we move to Temecula, it will be temporary. Of course it is still close enough that the beach becomes the same type of getaway that a mountain camping trip is now – less than an hour drive. I live a couple minutes from the beach now and hardly ever go, not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t have time. Once I’m retired or have much more time to enjoy it, then being at the coast is a requirement.
