RSF kicking out Fairbanks Ranch, Cielo, Crosby, Bridges, Whispering Palms

[betting on fall]

I think this is no big deal, for the following reasons:

1. Today, Cielo, Bridges and those other places (and the Covenant) are all unincorporated parts of San Diego County. If the Covenant becomes incorporated as a town, those other places still remain what they are today- unincorporated parts of San Diego county. Nothing becomes part of the City of Escondido until the boundary of Escondido changes.

2. Town boundaries don’t change school district boundaries. One town can’t just say its schools won’t take kids anymore, forcing them into a neighboring school district that was never planned for them. The boards of the impacted school districts need to agree to the changes.

3. Creating a town does not change a zip code. Only the post office does.

The market very much recognizes the cachet of the RSF moniker. I can demonstrate a 15% premium for homes located in the Covenant area vs. similar homes located on the periphery. I never did think of Cielo or the Crosby or Santaluz as being part of RSF. They should split off and call themselves Del Dios or something different to distinguish themselves.

We see the same thing in the La Jolla area. The listings for a lots of homes on the north end of Pacific Beach use the La Jolla location in their addresses if the agents think they can get away with it.

With that said, I don’t think the majority of the residents of RSF are really that interested in having their own city; and I doubt that maintaining cachet is the primary motivation for those who do want their own city. The reason most towns incorporate is because they want more control over their public services, especially police and fire protection.

Betting On Fall and Bugs both have valid pts.

Unincorporated areas around San Marcos still call themselves San Marcos due to the zip code. Since The Crosbys et al won’t be changing zip codes, they will still be able to use RSF in their address.

Similarly, school district boundaries don’t fall exactly on city limit boundaries, so kids won’t be changing school districts just because RSF incorporates.

But homes in incorporated portion will probably still fetch a premium over those in the unincorporated areas, as Bugs points out.

Also, I would bet the next move after incorporation are drives to get ZIP codes and school boundaries changed! I’m also betting that incorporation succeeds this time – with all the higher density developments encroaching on their piece of paradise, RSFers probably want more say in their destiny.

[I would rather be lucky then smart]

The Crosby is in San Diego

I belive the sales office uses a RSF address, but the homes use a San Diego address.

There goes the projected 50% drop in value argument.
