ParticipantGeorge I think the snobbiness factor is not as much defined geographically. I live in Scripps and we run into snobs there all the time. Gimme a break it is Scripps freeking Ranch but some of the citizens think it is the Taj Mahal. I have found attitudes like that all over town, from CV, to RSF to La Costa… I could go on and on. I think that you kind of roll the dice in any of the more desireable communities around town. Basically the values that you instill in your children will be what carries them into adulthood. No matter where you live your kids will be exposed to kids who are … of questionable character and will not have the same values…. I think it is true that some of the more established communities that have longevity and character may also have wealthy citizens who are less concerned with exposing thier net worth which is good. I have met old surfers in places like Cardiff or Encinitas who are loaded and you would never know it. They are the nicest people in the world.

Participant[quote=sunny88]Why do you care how the people in RSF are? You live your life, have your friends and go about your own business. Teach your children common sense and tell them not to take anything for granted. I think you’re doing the right thing, live below your means and stay out of financial trouble.[/quote]
I agree. It’s easier said than done but the right approach in my opinion.Besides, snobs and cliques of a sort, come in every economic class and social variation. I want to feel connected to my community to some degree though,so I would have to feel like I was enjoying some local relationships/participation, as opposed to just my friends from elsewhere. If RSF is where you want to live and you can pay for it but can’t or don’t want to “keep up” with the neighbors then live there anyway and deal with it. There will be plenty of upside.
You might feel uncomfortable with some situations but gradually find some enjoyable social interactions that lead to friendships. If you have a hunch that a place works well for you and your family it probably will. Once that is realized on a day to day basis, it will be easy to be less concerned with the “snobs”.

SDR: True. My buddies and I used to booze at The Leucadian bar on the Coast Highway back in the day.
It turns out when of these raggedy old beach bum types was formerly with the General Counsel’s Office at IBM HQ in Armonk, NY and had finally said “f**k it” and pulled the pin.
He had taken up surfing in his 50’s and had a place on the water. Used to listen to Zep and Floyd and apparently smoked mammoth amounts of ganja. He was also loaded after 25+ yrs with IBM as a corporate attorney.
You never know.
