[quote=moneymaker]I’d say Poway if being near the water is not important, or Encinitas if it is (will have to give up sq.ft. or acreage).[/quote]
I thought of Poway early on, but, like so many good, large-lot areas in SD County, it is car-dependent, too many of its residents have Big Toys parked on their lots and some residential areas do not even have sidewalks, let alone a “neighborhood (retail) village” to walk to.
NYMom, the correct spelling of Olivenain is “Olivenhain,” which is now part of the City of Encinitas.
