Got great news from our realtor this morning!

[scaredyclassic]

Harveston is great. You can walk to the mall, bars. I wanted to live there but I’m too messy. I’d think it’d make a good rental, area-wise.

I’ve changed my handle to 6packscaredy. Squatting goals are out right now; the immediate goal is to have a 6 pack. On my abdomen. The outer part of my abdomen. I’ve always wanted one and I am getting very very close. Been dieting hard for four months. I have the top two of the 6 pack fairly visible. That lower belly fat in the last to go but pretty much all other fat is gone. I’m closing in on it. It’d just be a cool thing to have, I think. And they’re free! In fact, they cost much less money than maintaining a 6 pack cover.

Based on the graph I produced of my waist size and weight over the last months, I predict I will have a sixpack, if I can stay on track by mid september.

I know friends who bought here and ended up living somewhere else because they could not handle the drive day in and out to work and back. The beautiful homes are attractive but it’s almost like a trap that hypnotizes many people to jump in.

I know some who love Temecula. Others got their lives realy messed up because of the drives and major inconveniences of long distances commuting. Some of them got stuck with the house, or renting it, leaving it vacant, or selling it. I would agree that Temecula homes are beautiful and would love to live in one like that except the commutes.

Paramount my response to the OP has nothing to do with Temecula. The OP could have said he lived in La Jolla and I would have posted the exact same thing.

Life has nothing to do with where you live and everything to do with how you live. If someone lives somewhere and for whatever reason they don’t like it why should they stay? It doesn’t work for him but it does work for you and a whole lot of others.

Nobody is wrong here, Temecula is a beautiful place. However for this particular poster it isn’t working out. He should sell asap and move to where he wants to live.

Seems like a no brainer to me. Any financial arguments to stay can be countered fairly easily.

I have a 40-45 min commute, but then I also carpool which helps tremendously. Could be a lot worse.

Just depends on where one works – the 56 would be my cut off point.

And it doesn’t hurt that I’m commuting in The Ultimate Driving Machine.

So you’re spending an hour and a half of your life per day in an expensively-appointed German prison. That’s about 6.5% of your waking hours.

In a lesser car that would be awful!

[spdrun]

Don’t know — my idea of a nice commute still is a morning walk to midtown through Central Park. Apart from one heat wave and a hot weekend on Memorial Day, summer has actually been absolutely gorgeous this year. Sitting with my windows open right now, no A/C, and it feels more like SoCal than NYC in August.

Or a few-mile bike ride up the coast road in CA. Either one wakes you right up.

[KIBU]

Good point. A good commute for me would involve these (which I had done all):

1. Bike to work within 30 minutes trip
2. Walk to work
3. Take the trolley to work

The thing I hate the most is drive to work but as of current, I have to do that now because of the job location. What I like about the trolley was the people around making me feeling like I live in a city with real people. Driving is a different experience, it’s like you only see cars (objects) in front, behind, next to you….and you see the road.

[paramount]

In my perfect world KIBU/spdrun I would prefer those commutes over my current one as well, but unfortunately I don’t have the brainpower to live in RSF, Del Mar or even 4S Ranch.

Hell I can’t even figure out how to move to 92078 (SEH).

I’m looking at the big picture though – I plan to retire (early) within 10 years (at the latest) in Clovis, California near the foothills of the central Sierra’s.

Thanks for all the advice!

We got great news from our realtor this morning about comps in our area. Way higher than we expected!

Going to be listing this week.

So happy to get out of Temecula and back to San Diego where we belong![/quote]

Glad to hear you’re leaving….

You just can’t stop, can you?

I doubt you’re even from San Diego in the first place.

I knew all along you had a goal to denigrate Temecula. You fooled some, but not me.

I read between the lines.

Ignore User.

[scaredyclassic]

not really dissing temecula. The comps were higher than expected. That’s saying something good about temecula. true denigration woulda been, shoot, it’s costing me money to get out of this craptown.

I have a feeling the poster is going to miss temecula.

Sure, there’s no place like home, but home is often overrated. You go back home and think, ack, what the hell am I doing here. home sucks! that’s why we leave home in the first place. we are sick of home!

Whereas here, in temecula, you’re not home, but you think, clean air, space, decent enough people, natural beauty…

we were down in san diego this weekend and I was thinking, san diego kinda sucks in many ways. just looking around. gritty and gross…no disrespect, Imean but people’s houses are hanging over major thoroughfares. it just seems sort of desperate, crowded, packed and too much. but that’s justa highly subjective viewpoitn of one dude at one distinct moment of life.

In SoCal, Suburbs have a way of turning into big cities, then your back home again and have to search for a new burb.

Basically in most cases in California suburbs don’t die, they just turn into cities.
