paradise lost! - 8/7/2010
that last review sounds a bit dramatic to say the least. I live in vista and its the best place to live in california due to the perfect climate, 10 minute trip to the beach, and the quiet atmosphere. I bought a house just over 2 years ago and i couldn't be happier with it! It only cost me 200,000 for a beautiful 1929 spanish revival thanks to the housing crash! The climate is absolutely priceless! I love watching the news in the morning and seeing how the country is baking or freezing and here in vista it is almost always 75 degrees! I love it! My wife said it best: "This is a vacation location".

Paradise lost - 2/8/2009
Half of Vista is clean and well-maintained. Not where I live. Where I live, the older part of Vista, the neighborhood used to be pleasant, filled with hard working, middle class people raising families. Not anymore. A group of people who felt they "deserved" the American dream of home ownership "bought" houses that were designed to house maybe 5 people but instead housed 25. They were encouraged to do so by greedy, immoral real estate agents. They brought with them garbage, abandoned cars, loud parties which included shootings, roosters (this is not a rural area anymore), gangs, graffiti, lack of of respect for others and the property they so badly wanted. Now the neighborhood is filled with foreclosed-upon vacant, vandalized houses that no human being would want to live in and those of us who actually work, maintained our property, paid our mortgages and property taxes are trapped here. I think real estate agents are the lowest life forms on earth and they certainly proved

comfort index ??? - 5/17/2008
I don't know your formula for comfort index but it sure isn't accurate for humans.
We have lived in 4 different states/locations.
Zip code 92084 which you gave a comfort index= 43. I would give it about 90.
Zip code 07728 which you gave a comfort index= 48. I would give it about 40.
Zip code 33458 which you gave 27. I would also give it about 25.
Zip code 04332 which you gave 59. I would give it about 10.
My formula is based on living there for a number of years. Maybe you could look at your formula and see if it needs some adjusting.
We like your site very much.
Keep up the good work

Bill Gates certainly had a reason... - 10/20/2007
... why he named Microsoft's new operating system after the city with the best climate in the world!!!
Where else can you drive a few miles to beach, ocean and palm trees and go surfing in the morning, then drive a couple of miles East and enjoy your breakfast with fresh eggs and home-made ham on a quaint little farm surrounded by juicy green meadows with cattle, get back in your car to sweat at lunch in a small burger joint in a deserted town in the dessert at a 100 degrees, and drive 2 more hours to ski in the snowy mountains in the afternoon?!?!?!?
Vista has the PERFECT climate, not too close to the shore where it's so many days just foggy and overcast, and still West from the cities with dessert climate, where you need A/C most of the year.
Best place on earth!!! And definitely best price-value relation in North County San Diego (don't tell

Vista, Close to Everything - 4/28/2007
The weather in Vista is beautiful. You are minutes from the beach. Want to ski or hike in the mountains, just drive a few hours and you are there. Like the desert? It's a short drive away as well. Disneyland your thing? It's just an hour up the freeway. It's a great place to live, provided you have the money to live comfortably here.

Oh and I forgot the worst thing about this place.. - 7/18/2006
Because of the nice climate there are the worlds biggest spiders here and they love to make webs in your doorway and hang from trees so that if you are not paying attention you will walk right into them! It is enough for me to want to leave based just on that as I am a arachnaphobiac and this is NOT helping!! They are bigger, hairier and different colors than anywhere else that I have seen and it has become a real issue for me! So if you are like me with spiders DO not move here! Of course it is worse in JUNE-Aug. I would love it if Sperling would do a study on the best places to go that are bug free! I will move
