Anyone contemplating a move out of San Diego? (Carlsbad: buying, public schools)

This. Very true.

Sick of the marine layer that plagues the coastal areas almost year round. Only when the Santa Anas blow is it warm and beautiful. The climate is much nicer about 50 miles inland.

Mt temps and even desert temps are getting down into the high 30s already at night.

50?

I think you typed an extra zero.

I live 6 miles inland, and have many more sunny days than directly on the coast.

50 miles inland would be very hot. No thanks.

This. I spent years living in the Bird Rock area of La Jolla and as such dealt with the marine layer constantly (although I really like May Grey and June Gloom). However if one wanted to get out of it, you could generally just head a few miles inland to Claremont or Mission Valley and it'd be diminished if not outright gone.

50 miles inland puts you at Sunrise Highway. While it IS certainly different than the coast, AND it should be clearer, it can definitely be cooler. It's likely above the "marine layer" and being so far inland, it should dissipate long before it gets to this altitude. There's no housing there. But, it's a beautiful area. Does get snow of rare occasion. (Especially if you go up Sunrise Hwy.) It's not so "rare" then...

Oddly, the "plague" to which you refer is preferred to, by the zillions of "Zonies" that infiltrate every Summer...

I guess no matter what some have, they desire the other...

We just moved to SE Escondido, which I guesstimate is about 10 or 12 miles east of the coast, as the crow flies. We get just about zero of the marine layer, and when we do it is gone by 9AM.

Before we moved here people would warn us about how hot Escondido is, but we used to spend our summers in Phoenix, so for us this is nothing.

OF course, YMMV.

Live about 4 miles from the coast and we do get quite a bit of fog and Marine layer in the mornings. Almost like clockwork around 10 to 10:30 a m it burns off and we have beautiful sunny weather the rest of the day.

I think the sweet spot is living just a few miles from the coast where you get more moderate temperatures but also get to enjoy the sunshine.

We never actually got a chance to live in the area. We bought a beautiful home in Calavera Hills in Carlsbad 5 years ago and had planned to move there in 2 years time when I retire. We have two kids and our reasons for moving there were the schools and beaches, plus, I though it was the last 'sane' place left to live in California. We ended up buying another apt just to rent out for extra income. Now it seems that San Diego county has been taken over by loonies just like the Bay area

And I really don't want to have my kids (7 and 2) in public schools anymore in America. I've been homeschooling my eldest for the past 2 years and it's tiring as both mum and dad work. we are looking at some places in Europe to move to and going to travel for a year or so before settling somewhere.
