I used to look at 805 at quitting time (I work around UTC) and now way was I going to move south. I get back and forth to Cardiff most days in less than 30 minutes. Plus the demographics fit us a little better. I’d also didn’t want to send my kids to some HS where there are like 30% white kids like Madison which isn’t terribly far away.
Rancho Penasquitos and in particular areas that fed into Westview HS was where I was targeting. The furthest south I looked was San Carlos, and it was just too far away. I am sure the South is fine, and depending on your work location it might make sense.
