Yeah, I know some people who would rather have more land, and more freedom to do whatever they want on it without the constraints of HOA or uppity neighbors — like tinker on old cars that don’t run or have room for trailer and RV parking.
If you look at the map of San Diego County, Santee, is smack in the middle and that area has a lot of appreciation potential in the next 1/2 century as the region develops — perhaps like the Pasadena area in LA.
