Overpriced, soul-less, fake yoga mom kind of place

I've lived here for 30 years. Back 30 years ago it was great. Small town, friendly people, etc. NOW Traffic is pretty bad but still better than most of SD county. I'm not a big SD fan to be honest. It's superficial and fake friendly and Poway is too. Good luck making any "real" friends. I have a handful of long term friends who are amazing people that I've known since childhood but theyre all stressed and busy. Nobody invites people over for barbeques. Nobody has time for anyone. I've had people over for dinners, BBQs, Wine nights, kids play dates, sleepovers, etc. It's reciprocated maybe 10% of the time. People are too stressed and busy here to enjoy life and too busy keeping up with the Jones's. Thankfully I have an amazing career that pays SUPER well and allows me to work far less than most. So unless you want to be around a lot of fake yoga moms, cookie cutter lifestyles, and leave it beaver without the genuine compassion and love for one another... don't bother with this over priced fake place. On a positive note it's super safe, a beautiful town, and has all the ammenities you could need. Negatives: Hot, over priced, and soul less. If you HAVE to move to SD I'd recommend Ramona (most people are friendly- it's slightly too right winged for me but hey at least they're nice). I think the biggest thing to remember is where there is A LOT of money there is A LOT of superficial crap... not my cup of tea!
