2) The Internet will create many more work from
home opportunities.
3) Long term SoCal Population grows at about 1600 people per day, That’s about two Temecula Valleys per year. (maybe not this year but things will get back on track soon), at some point T.V. will not seem very far from the major business centers in San Diego or O.C. (Just look at L.A. average commutes and you will see the future).

Excellent points. You know I was just talking to my Dad about his first home purchase in the far-flung exurb of Mission Viejo (during the very first home release and community opening). At the time most of his co-workers (in LA) laughed at his commute out to the boonies of Orange County and were quick to predict the decline of the area. “There are no jobs there!”
“Gas @ $0.50 will DESTROY the area”
Well we all know how that worked out. Development brought homes to the area with a large number of commuters to Los Angeles. Los Angeles sprawl spread, jobs were created closer to home and those original pioneers in Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Irvine, etc, etc have seen their cities become the “new” job centers. I’m not saying the same will happen in Temecula/Murrieta (the distance from the coast is a factor in home desirability but high coastal land costs limits business desirability) but the area has been carefully planned to follow similar patterns. (Patterns that match South OC growth rather than LA suburban growth – see Riverside and San Bernardino for examples of how to do it the wrong way)
