That is what I'm saying. Vista sucks. For the clay soil. The heat. The smog. The gangs. The apathy of law enforcement and code enforcement in neighborhoods other than Shadowridge or similar.

Shadowridge is great, I would agree I am biased since I live there. it is about 6 miles to ocean, still close enough for the ocean breezes to cool things off

Heat and smog?

Are you kidding? You seriously need to live somewhere with REAL heat and REAL smog. Vista weather is paradise. Seriously, perfect weather.

The smog comment is just so....wrong. Huge generalization for a city of nearly 100K. Considering that the foothills have minimal smog and the majority of Vista is foothill, I'd say you're way off.

No, I am not wrong, I lived in Vista for 21 years, not in Shadowridhlflge and not in the foothills. And most of Vista is NOT in the foothills. That is where the $1 million houses are.

You are welcome to dislike the city, but your comment about the heat is flat-out objectively wrong. Maybe I won't put it that strongly about smog, but there are worse areas for sure. Those two things were never on my complaint list.

Well, considering I'm not the only one doubting your claims maybe you are?

Sorry, I didn't mean to say "foothills". I would like to clarify and say that most of Vista is located in and around rolling hills (and foothills).

21 years living in a bubble apparently. I recommend you look at a topography map of the area. You'll notice that San Marcos and Escondido are in valleys, Oceanside and Carlsbad have rough canyons (+ flat San Luis Rey) and Vista is basically smooth, rolling hills.

The distance from the ocean creates ideal weather: lack of an excessive marine layer and lower temperatures than inland. Furthermore, the rolling hills support nice ocean breezes, unlike SM/Esco, where the valleys trap heat and smog.

I will say, rh, that I live in San Marcos now, near SM High and Via Vera Cruz. We're in the flats below Double Peak but with strong western exposure and it is plenty breezy here. My poor white sage can attest to that.

Please consider the location of Vista High School on Bobier Drive. Is that in a hilly area? Or drive from one end of one Vista's main thorofares to the other, i. e. Santa Fe, from north to south, how hilly is that? How many hills do you cross as you travel Melrose, where Vista's other high school, Rancho Bueno Vista, is located?
