<p>ItsJustSchool, I wish I could afford La Jolla Shores! I’ve already planned what classes to take at that JCC; another reason why I don’t want to be too far inland - that “half hour drive to everything” issue. There are plenty of lovely smaller towns but we’re looking for a broader community to easily access. I don’t think there are planned communities (other than maybe a condo type) close to city centers and shorelines - land is probably just too expensive. So we’re sticking with the single family home in a walkable neighborhood.</p>
