Various relatives of mine have lived in San Clemente since 1970 so I have watched the place grow and change.
On the plus side, Del Mar — the street that runs down to the pier — has some interesting stores and restaurants. I love the pier and there are new walkways along the oceanfront.
The climate is also very good.
I think that living in Talega would mean being a hostage to the 5, and the traffic can be bad northbound. You can of course take the toll road to Fashion Island. I was in San Clemente this weekend, and the weather was superb and the traffic intense.
Of course, tell me a place on Southern Cal where the traffic isn’t that way…
I lived in San Clemente during the 80’s, and Carlsbad during the 90’s. When I was there, SC had been unmolested by developers. That is no longer the case. I don’t find the place quaint anymore. I’d say the same thing about Carlsbad. On the upside, if you live in Cbad, you’re a lot closer to the life of a real city, SD. OC tends to be a soul-less wasteland, FWIW. It’s really a coin toss.
