OT:Looming Disaster for the Temecula Area: Liberty Quarry/Mega Mine

[Anonymous]

Yeah, Temecula can’t make a decent wine:

But who needs facts, when we have sdrealtor’s opinion (but please do tell us a another story about YOU!)

Some other facts:

Air quality in Temecula is better than most developed regions in CA. I’d provide some data, but there is very little. Why? Because they just started measuring it 2010. Before that, there was no need to measure smog because there was none to measure.

Temecula is hotter than most of San Diego. Highs are an average of 20 degrees hotter in the summer, but lows are about the same as SD. In other words, it gets hot for few hours in the afternoon, but cools off nicely in the evenings. (I personally prefer this to marine layers and “June gloom.”)

Granite construction is huge, and probably has more money and pull than Pechanga.

Granite execs would lie to their mother to make buck, but I think most of their claims about the quarry may be true. The quarry will not be visible from the freeway or anywhere in Temecula, and the blasting sounds will be minimal. It could very well turn out to be no big deal.

There are a lot of Marines living in Temecula. I know of five families within a quarter mile of my house. (The military housing allowances must be pretty nice.)

Traffic? Yup, I-15 usually sucks during evening rush hour. Now, pull up sigalert at 5pm and tell me if you see any red on the SD freeways.

The vast majority of homes built in Temecula were constructed in the late 90s or later. All new construction, well planned streets, etc.

Schools are excellent, crime is some of the lowest in California, and the city government has no budget issues.

“But I like living near the beach!”

How often do most SD residents actually go to the beach?

Most of the Temecula hate is based upon myths, stereotypes, and pretentiousness. If it helps you rationalize your Carmel Valley mortgage, then have at it.

Haters gonna hate.

Wow, pri_dk, I didn’t realize there were so many wineries in or near Temecula! It looks like the Van Roekel and Callaway vineyards grow (or bottle) my kind of grape! I’ll have to put a day trip up there on my schedule for this fall!

[quote=jstoesz]not to poke the bear(ishgurl) too much, but don’t you think you would be happier in N. California? All you outings seem to be up here.[/quote]

jstoesz, only my “in-state outings” are in NoCal. My summer road trips are often in triple-digit heat in southwest states. However, this year I spent a week of my road trip touring the Colo rockies where “boomers,” mostly couples, are out en masse (many on motorcycles) in search of summer homes and retirement properties at (hopefully) the best prices they’ll ever see again in their lifetimes. Some were headed to NV, AZ and FL to view/purchase rental-property investments to fund their retirements. I met and spoke to them from Boulder/Nederland to Estes Park to Aspen to Beaver Creek to Telluride and many points in between.

The snow is still melting into hundreds of waterfalls causing the rivers to bulge and spread!!!

I saw many WOMEN OVER AGE 55 there in awesome shape mountain biking 40-100 mi per day consistently on 6-9% grade in over 10K feet in altitude! Of course there are rest stops for bikers, some with caves for shade :=)

I’m originally from NoCal and several cities/towns there are on my “short list” for retirement locales :=]
