If I were a tourist and half blind, then maybe I would agree w/your logic. But if I have a million + dollars burning a hole in my pocket and wanted to live along the coast and couldn’t (which I think you can) find a rowhouse several blocks away from the beach in La Jolla, Del Mar, Cardiff, Solana Beach or even Encinitas, I still would have a hard time justifying P.B.
I know a cop that works in L.J. and P.B. When they designate him to work in L.J. he spends the day responding to unwarranted home alarm calls that go off b/c people forgot to turn them off. He’s bored b/c there’s NOTHING going on in L.J.
When he has to work in P.B. it’s non-stop trouble.
There’s a difference between P.B. and L.J. You can dress up your house to look nice in P.B., but it’s NOT L.J. and it doesn’t matter how close you are to their zip code.
