When my family returned to Chula Vista in 1969, I finished junior high, high school, college at UCSD and grad school at SDSU. I relocated to the Pocatello, ID area in late 2000. San Diego is too crowded and too expensive.
I advertised in Rancho Santa Fe and it was part of my customer base, people don’t realize the magnificent marbled mansions and estates that are tucked away in there, people drive through and see modern RSF developments and think they are merely rich but there are wondrously wealthy estates at the end of some of those million dollar driveways that they can’t see.
I used to live in old Del Mar before they built Del Mar East and ruined the area, the old core of Del Mar was fun and fascinating with really interesting people.
Encinitas, used to be a great place to live, I was about a block and a half from the beach, Coronado was wild and crazy in the 70s, I came to like Ocean Beach eventually and lived on the water there for 15 years, living on the boardwalk in Mission Beach was great in the 70s with unlimited females during tourist months, I also lived on the bay beach while there, Pacific Beach was great but I was a 1/4 or 1/3 mile from the water, which was sort of nice in it’s own way.
