[quote=UCGal]I remember when Poway was considered a distant burb. Heck – when I first moved to UC (as a kid in the early 60’s) it was a distant burb.
I also know retirees who raised their kids in San Diego, kids still live in San Diego, but sold and bought in Murrieta. Wanted a newer home, lower maintenance, quiter, less urban lifestyle.
Lots of exceptions to every rule.[/quote]
Yes, UCGal, I too, remember when “Poway” was several miles inland from the *new* I-15. It was considered “far-flung” and Poway road was sandbagged for the longest time :=]
If you have noticed, I haven’t put TV on the future “ghost-town map” yet (and neither has CNN/Money), lol ….
TV seems to have a lot going for it now in its own right, seems somewhat self-contained and has some light industry and a large casino. And it’s not that far of a drive to Riverside or Corona from there.
Not sure though, about the percentage of TV’s population who actually commute more than 50 mi one-way to work. Not sure if there are *enough* nearby good jobs to serve that area, ESP for those who live in the more outlying areas of Hemet and Moreno Valley. If these outlying areas are populated by retirees (like Palm Sprs, Indio & Sun City), then close proximity to work doesn’t really matter.
There are many “quiet, less-urban” places in CA to retire which are much better-located than TV. Persons nearing retirement who are financially secure won’t generally move from a “70 deg avg” area to “90 deg avg” area unless they need or want to be near other family members. In the absence of that reason, what’s the point?
