Paramount – always good to see everyone’s take on the area … the more info the better. I am not much of a blogger for blogging sake – really only look at Piggs for insight to real estate in SD and Efficient Frontier for general finance insight.
Not sure of your thoughts why Temecula will become another Escondido – even if it does is this a bad thing? If lack of a hospital is the key to this view I am not sure how many communities in North County would be placed in this same light … CV, Encinitas, RSF, Del Mar, Fallbrook – basically everything north of Ted Williams Parkway would be placed in this category. I am not defending Temecula – the wine industry and the valley offer a different feel then that of Escondido and is far enough removed from San Diego to give distinctness separate from the other developments on the 15 corridor. Any additional takes on this view. If the city of Temecula really will have nothing to do with the hospital planned for this area it would be one of the first cities to do so – even totally private healthcare institutions (very few these days) have strong alliances with the city/population they serve in all facets of operation.
Reguarding “out of towners/transplants” – is there a portion of N County where only native San Diegoians live & is this where you reside… kind of a unique area I would think? Globalization & power of the internet has drastically altered localization. I vividly remember when I lived in Sunset Cliffs (1985-99) and drove back to Colo for the first time to visit family – as I pulled into Vail for gas a women in her Colo pick-up vehemently screaming at me to take my Calf license plates and to return to the “hole” where I came from. Not everyone is an advocate of S Calf as a paradise or a place they would ever want to put down roots. …
Paramount – you have a different take on Temecula from the other post and I would value your thoughts … would this be a place you could live if you only needed to commute to Fallbrook? The quarry is still pending?
