Many top wage earners live very modestly below their means a la millionaire next door so I don’t see any problem with people of any means looking at MM. Other people choose CV due to schools etc. but some might also argue (and someone did) that MMHS is actually ranked very high.
I also live near Camino Santa Fe! I heard that the space where Bally’s was is going to be a Henry’s Market. I have long thought one thing that MM needs is a nice ranch market (I unhappily drive to La Jolla for Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods). Has anyone heard about this Henry’s plan?
