Climatopia

9/4/2008
Yes, indeed, the climate in Carlsbad, CA could be considered almost perfect - thus the term Climatopia. While the weather is idyllic and the beach only 10 minutes away, you pay dearly for this setting. Not only is housing still thru the roof and all other cost-of-living items @ top dollar (food, gas, utilities, etc.), you can't beat the weather!!!! So why are we looking to move??? Cuz weather ain't everything!!! How about a better sense of community? How about people caring for this beautiful environment that surrounds them? Total lack of progressive politics - it's a Republican bastion and all about bashing those whose opinions differ. Time to move on to an area where people give more than lip service to family values!!! Here, plop your kid in front of a video game and leave him for hours - what about reading books? playing games outside in the PERFECT weather? what about learning to interact socially with peers? How about really making a commitment to funding schools and keeping class sizes at managable levels? Oh well, we'll find our utopia yet - even if it isn't climatopia - we need our connection to the greater social body more than the sun.....miss real people/tired of the plastic SoCal consummable lifestyle. Maybe we'll catch you in your perfect town as we set off on our upcoming adventure.
