“When SEH was evacuated as a result of the Coronado Hills fire, the Twin Oaks extension was closed.”
Yeah and honestly, if it hadn’t been for the fact that the entire Fire Dept. was so low on resources fighting fires elsewhere in the county, I highly doubt SEH would have been evactuated at all. The total area burned, off of the Twin Oaks extension was, about the size of a Football field…and that was with the wind conditions and all.
The news had that little fire icon showing the Twin Oaks fire for like 3 days…when in reality it was 100% contained within 12 hours of starting. I wasn’t too happy to be evacuated, but I totally understand why they did it…better to be safe and all.
I totally understand people not wanting to live near the undeveloped areas because of the risk of losing your house to a fire. But realtors saying the area is a fire trap seems ridiculous. Next thing you know people will be saying that Cul-de-sac’s are a trap, and that all those streets that say “no outlet” are a negative as well.
Besides all that, the Fire Station at the top of the new Twin Oaks extension is almost complete…so now SEH has it’s very own Fire Crew (probably relocate the make-shift crew that camps behind the pre-school).On a similar note, does anyone know what is going in off of Rancho Santa Fe just as you pass SEH road going West? It’s on the North side of RSF at the top of the hill…they just finished a special driveway for some building. It looks to be another Fire Station…but i’m not sure.

RockemsockParticipantIf you’re in a canyon in RSF the realtor will say “Greenbelts surround this lush Canyon home” if you’re in SEH it suddenly becomes a “firetrap”. Gimme a break. There are currently 3 entrances/exits out of SEH. Just because there are mountains on either side, doesn’t mean it’s a “trap” of any kind.
Honestly I hope people don’t buy in SEH…maybe that will drive down the cost so we can actually afford one of these over-priced homes. But for now, I’m content to rent in SEH and Mtn. Bike the mountains surrounding it…but don’t worry, I always carry my fire extinguisher with me on rides… just in case I get trapped by those sneaky infernos.

RockemsockParticipantI live in SEH and drive to UTC everyday. I leave at 8:45am and arrive between 8:10 and 8:20 most days…we have a meeting at 9:30. I go home at 7pm and I’m almost always home before 7:30.
But because i hate traffic so much i take surface streets all the way to Via De La Valle in the morning. Traffic is usually flowing really good at the Race Track. Driving through RSF and the back streets of Del Mar is slower than a speedy freeway obviously…but the commute is consistent and rather peaceful.
Going home I just take the freeway all the way to La Costa and it’s a total breeze. The merge can sometimes still be congested, but it’s usually just about clear by the time I get there.
The few times I’ve left at 8 or earlier I’ve noticed a bit more traffic on the surface streets (the stop signs through Olivenhain can get backed up) but i don’t think i’ve ever spent more than 45 minutes commuting, unless there’s Holiday traffic or an accident or something.
