    “I’m curious why you say this?”

    Maybe if you get a place next to the Mall.

    Otherwize it is a busy and growing town (even now), with lots of traffic (that seem to like to move at Texas speeds)

    Come vist the casino, rent a car drive around and you will see.

    Haha! No you’re not crazy, but the suggestion to a Californian of not owning a car is complete anathema. It’s true that some places are a little remote and you may find it a bit inconvenient, but if you are walking distance to a supermarket, and there is at least some form of public transportation, then just renting a car for major trips could work I guess. Californian suburbia was built around the car, so you may have a bit of a battle on your hands. Good luck!

    Have you considered downtown. That is a place you can surely live without a car 90% of the time or more. I don’t know if the prices will get to the same point, but maybe you’ll be able to get a 1400 sf condo downtown for the price of a 2500 sf house in Temecula at some point.
    The big negative though is the HOA’s which will at least track inflation over the bext 30-40 year of your “semi” retirement.
    I would at least consider it an option.

    In California No Car=No Life

    Cannot live without one here. There is too much to see and do in SoCal Depending upon a rental car or public transportation would be maddening.
