Allan from Fallbrook
ParticipantJosh: No, Fallbrook does not have an acreage minimum. My understanding is that Bonsall does, though. I know the Rolling Hills Estates properties require a 2ac minimum, and several of the other developments require them as well.
The neighborhood I am in is older, and the lots are bigger as a result (we are on 1.2ac). The newer developments don’t have lots that large, but they are considerably bigger than the cheek to jowl developments you see in Temecula or Murrieta.
Bunny: Fallbrook is definitely eclectic. You have a real interesting mix of artists/artisans, Marines (current and retired) and Mexican/Central American.

Participantqwerty: I agree with your assessment of Naomi Wolf. She is a very self-aggrandizing post-feminist author (“The Beauty Myth”), and is especially noted for her sloppy scholarship and temper tantrums when questioned about her “facts”.
I also agree with your overall view of the strength of the US to survive some pretty serious privations and come out intact.
That being said, there are some aspects to the Patriot Acts (I and II) that concern me. There are also some NSA programs out there (Carnivore and Echelon) that are worrisome, too. There is a new level of intrusiveness out there, and it is not all directly attrituable to Dubya (Clinton was responsible for implementing the one NSA program in 1994).
As far as an informed citizenry goes: Hell, most high school kids can’t even find Europe on a map.

ParticipantBunny: No worries. I didn’t get a snob feel from you, and the question was a good one. TG makes a good point, too. We have a good sized house on over an acre of land, and in a very quiet neighborhood to boot. My kids are involved with sports and activities, and close to their friends, largely due to the small town aspect.
This is what I grew up with as well, so it matters to me. If you are looking for not only the small town feel, but want some room to stretch out a little, this is a good choice. I would also recommend looking at Bonsall, too.

ParticipantBunny: Well, gee, I don’t exactly know how to answer this one. Yep, there are parts of F’brook that are a little downtrodden (to use your word), but, overall, it is a nice place to live.
I would recommend doing more than just a drive through. Take a long afternoon and look around – all the way around – meaning the entire town. I have been here over four years now, but would be the first one to say that it isn’t for everyone.
I grew up in a small town as well, and that is the one thing that I really like about Fallbrook. There is a very strange dichotomy here: There is a great deal of affluence, juxtaposed with a very working class environment.
Start at the end of Mission Road, where it intersects with Highway 76. That shopping center is River Village (and is technically Bonsall). Work your way up Mission back towards town. When you hit Mission Road and Main, turn back around at Main and head through the center of town, making certain to hit the side streets around Mission. Best street to use for that is Alvarado. Nose around and take your time. If you still have issues, I would recommend looking at Bonsall as well.
