I think rational people who live and work in San Diego proper will take a pass on Temecula – you should factor this into your analysis of where Temecula prices are headed
I personally wouldn’t commute to/from Temecula EVEN IF YOU BOUGHT ME THAT FREAKIN’ MANSION AND HANDED ME THE DEED FREE AND CLEAR (watch how quick I can sell it though!)
It wouldn’t surprise me to see the $800K Temecula house going for $200K before it is all over
Let’s see 52 miles for me to commute – 19 MPG in the Beemer – premium is $3.60 – my daily commute would cost me almost $19 – at $5/gal the commute would cost $26/day – that means living in Temecula would cost me $500 to $600/month just for gas
And then we could talk about spending a significant portion of one’s lifetime sitting in commuter hell on I-15 but what’s the point …
