Actually, flu, I’m comfortable with the name, Chula Vista. Nothing wrong with it at all.
Piggs were probably using CV (all caps) in the past to discuss not-a-real-place “Carmel Valley” ad nauseum because that area seems to be what 60%+ of them are most interested in. Another 20% are interested in (2nd choice) “Anywhere PUSD” (aka “Phoenix”) but the vast majority of them ONLY because they are unable to buy in Carmel Valley. A close third seems to be fixated on “Nirvana” but that doesn’t seem to be very doable for the majority of Piggs. At least not for a home that would meet their “standards.”
It seems the REAL CV never really came on the radar (as a housing preference here) primarily due to its location (not close to major tech/biotech firms). It really has nothing to do with “Hispanics” (there are actually many thousands of “Hispanics” in North County).
I’m sure you’re all aware that “Hispanic” is not a race. “Hispanics” could be members of any of the three races, Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. The definition of “Hispanic” in this country (and county) is very, very ambiguous, at best. Most “Hispanic” individuals living in the US are actually “White,” or belonging to the “Caucasian” race.
As of 2010, 50.5 million or 16.3% of Americans were ethnically Hispanic or Latino. Of those, 26.7 million or 53% were White.
