Raptorduck: Can you tell why you preferred to move to San Diego for such a big purchase? I thought, if you want to buy a multi-million $ property, New England has some fine high class properties (miniature “Hearst Castles”). I think the South also has some fine estate property (if you hate cold). When I drove through RSF, it felt more upper middle class than “Hearst Castle” like. If one were to buy something for multi-millions, I think a fair degree of privacy, like you get with a a couple of hundred acres of grounds, is reasonable to expect. paying so much for a one acre lot seems excessive.
