Nice cool climat

We have lived here since 1980. Although the town has grown and become much more Hispanic than when we arrived, the one real positive for us is the climate. It is usually cool, sometimes too cool and foggy. The brisk wind keeps any smog out but does blow the dirt from the fields around town. Decent employment can be found in just a few areas: the Air Force Base, the Federal Prisons, and the City/County. Better paying jobs are located 45 minutes away in the Goleta-Santa Barbara area. Home prices have dropped dramatically in the past two years so this is a good opportunity to buy. All-in-all, I stil like Lompoc but if I were raising children now, I would look further north in San Luis Obispo County. Schools here are overcrowded with children of illegals which has had a negative impact on the economy.
