HERE'S THE REAL 411 Unless you and your spouse make a minimum of $250,000 a year, you can't afford it. Lived here for 50 years. If you like gestapo/jackboots cops, you'll love it. Carlsbad is notorious for this. The weather has changed significantly. Ocean water is typically polluted with sewer run off. White sharks are attacking with some regularity. You can never find a parking space anywhere near the beach, so prepare to either get there at 5am or walk a half mile. The ocean water is COLD. It's warmest Sept and October maybe. The coast is typically cloudy and if the sun does break through, it's typically after 1 pm and covers up again starting at 4 pm. No worries about sunburn. These months cover May through October. Inland is 🥵 hot. Like 90-100 degrees in summer. You will rarely meet your neighbors. There's nothing friendly anymore. North county does have fewer murders but theft is pretty common. Everything is expensive! Everything! Be prepared to shell out high taxes, high food costs, high gasoline cost, etc. whatever you can think of it's 2-3x more expensive then anywhere in the country. Home/Houseless people are everywhere. Believe when I tell you it used to be paradise. But not any more or ever again. Learn to enjoy the sound of NO. you will experience it several times a day. I could go on outlining specific cities. I'm moving to Arkansas... Cause I've had ENOUGH IF CALIFORNIA'S CRAP!!! You will need to really enjoy sitting in traffic. A 5 minute grocery run could turn into an hour drive, then standing in long lines to pay. People are NO LONGER nice. Expect rude behavior and occasional violence. A house (minimum) is $790,000. And, it will be a shack. You cannot park at the beach after 8 pm or in some cases 11pm. No fires on beach. No alcohol or smokin pretty much everywhere including the beach.
My main complaint is explosion of Dog Owners in North County since my return 2 years ago. OUR Neighborhood is THEIR dog's toilet. Stench of K-9 Cologne is everywhere. Entrance to my Complex is popular unfortunately. Why should my Guests smell that ? Entitled Owners are leaving poop bags on sidewalks. Pet Free almost 50 years. Why are dogs welcome in restaurants ? That was a Health Dept No-No back East years ago. I live a more sanitary life. More people should do the same !
