raptorduck– Yes, you can definitely ignore some of the comments regarding Santaluz. I think some have confused the drought tolerant native landscaping for neglected landscape, but if anyone really looks, they can see that it’s actually very well cared for.
I actually like it and it sounds like you may have come around as well. I meant to remark on your comments regarding limiting the amount of grass and types of palm trees (I like palms too), but I think you can see now, that the guidelines are for things that work with what they’re doing there. I think they’ve done a good job.
One other comment that I believe was incorrect was regarding which high school Santaluz kids would attend. I believe they used to attend Mt. Carmel as somebody posted, but I’m almost certain they now to to Westview, which is a beautiful new school that’s only a couple of years old. Still in the Poway Unified School District, but I think you’ll find it’s right up there with the Del Mar schools (ducks).
Finally, in Santaluz, you would buy your groceries at Albertsons a couple of miles away. It’s nice and new and frequently visited by Santaluzers. I shop there myself, although, I’m just a mere peasant. Perhaps I’ll see you there one day (unless you decide on Fairbanks or Cielo or RSF, of course!)
