The city of Valencia, (like Temecula) is one of the few cities in SoCal running a budget surplus.[/quote]
I agree Shoveler, except some people are taking this discussion way too personally.
I personally like Valencia a lot. It’s beautiful. It is the perfect suburbia. It gets really hot, like IE hot, but then the Valley gets quite hot as well. It is what it is. but if you want a SD style suburbia, Valencia is as close as it gets.
I do think one has to be very careful committing to long commutes. And Valencia to downtown LA is considered a long commute, I don’t think we need a panel of expert to debate that.
And since the job is in downtown LA, I don’t think we should discount the entire LA basin plus the adj valleys and toss it out under the “urban wasteland” bucket. LA is a lot more urban, so expectations need to be different. that’s all.
