ParticipantTheBreeze, what disturbed me the most when we first moved here to Temecula was not that we (my wife and my kids) met “gay” teen-agers but it was the backgrounds – almost exclusively broken families – of these “gay” teen-agers.
This one teen-age girl – 14 or 15 years old – who my daughter became friends with through her circle of friends dressed in boy clothes and really tried to walk and talk like a guy. She wanted to be the “boyfriend” of my daughter. But she clearly had large breasts. Later we learned that she really was a girl. We also learned that her father had ditched her family right before she entered her teen-age years. To be honest I felt sorry for the girl.
She would come over to our house and try to talk in a low tone voice. It was right out of the “Boys Dont Cry” movie.
When my daughter has brought her teen-age friends over to our house – some who introduced themselves as “gay” – during the past five years here in Temecula my wife and I would always be pleasant and hopefully we showed acceptance of these young people.
We met and talked with a lot of teenagers who were friends of my son and my daughter. They seemed to like us based on how often they would visit and share their lives with us. Teen-age years can be confusing and a lot of them have pain that they try to keep inside themselves. I like to think that my family was a welcome environment for them.
(BTW, pink ribbons are for breast cancer.)

Participanttaz, hopefully I didnt sound too homophobic 🙂
My wife read my post and laughed at me. She said I’d probably get slammed for it – she’s usually right 🙂
Hey, the burbs arent so bad. They’re just a smaller version of the big city life. You probably get the same percentages of differing viewpoints and people as you do in the larger cities.

ParticipantI can only supply anecdotes. I am not a demographics guy nor am I involved in RE – strictly layman type here. But I have lived in Temecula for five and a half years and in Anaheim Hills for nine years prior to moving here. Some of my experiences:
January 08, My daughter was hit by a hit and run driver at Margarita and Yukon while she was driving south on Margarita, near the KFC intersection. A early 1990’s Black Jeep Cherokee hit her and then took off and disappeared. It cost me $500 deductible and $500 in car rental. She wasn’t hurt but now appreciates all my warnings about people. The police officer who took the report said we were the third hit and run accident that day.
Last year my son was sued for a rear end collision by a woman in Temecula who falsely claimed back and neck injuries when he accidentally tapped her rear bumper at a stop light. Upon review of the case, the insurance pictures, reports and all our evidence the judge denied her claim. She was basically looking to get money out of us. She even offered to “settle” with us before the court date.
From what I read the median income is about $75,000 here in Temecula. Using the 3x’s rule of qualifying for mortgages that means that the median home price should be at or around $225,000. Assume $100/sq.ft. and that means a 2250 sq.ft. house should sell for around $225K.
Also, I don’t know if it’s just Temecula or if there is just more acceptance among teenagers these days but I’ve met more homosexual teenagers – at least they claim – through my daughter’s friends then I ever did when I was her age some 30+ years ago when I was in high school. Just an observation.
(Just for the record – We live next door to a man who is homosexual and we’ve never had any problems with him. Of course we almost never see him anyway – he nevers goes to any of the neighbor parties and is almost never home.)
