True. But they are not a desert, either. |

I relate. I would love one in Pismo Beach or Santa Cruz, and one in Palm Springs. |

Orange County A.K.A. The "REAL" California, "where dreams are reality," where one can drive 10 blocks and not encounter Tijuana-style slums.
All in all California is a beautiful place, but the laws here are mind-boggling. Perhaps, it's the only thing which can control 42 million people -a majority who don't speak English.
I think Carmel/Monterey is another are which has a exceptional quality of life. However, the advantage of OC to this Area that you don't have to spend $1 million dollars just to own a townhome. Carmel is more of a retirement area. I really don't think the economy is what it is in OC. This may explain all of the golf fanatics and retirement facilities in Carmel/Pebble Beach.
OC is an easier place to get ahead (something hard to do in this pricey state). I know the title of the thread is "if money were not an issue", but I find it highly inefficient to spend $3-4 million on a home that only costs $700k in OC and invest the rest in the stock market and apartment buildings. Hence, my choice are the OC cities above.
