very very suburban

I'm not surprised it is a hotbed of the Klan (my husband calls it Santucky, which is rude to Kentuckians everywhere). Very rightwing, it seems that every other car sports a Bush-supporting bumpersticker; Duncan Hunter (on the conservationists' Worst Voting Record list year after year) is the House Rep. I'm a writer, my spouse is here doing an architecture degree, and we haven't found much of anyone to talk to outside of school in downtown SD; we can't wait to get out of here.
Overall, San Diego and its hinterlands are very conservative places, so we won't be hanging around. The prices for homes and condos are through the roof, especially downtown -- they predict a home price crash is coming soon, but the starting prices are so high, it won't matter much to us. I just gave spouse Places Rated 2006 for a birthday present: he's got one more year to go, so he's got to find somewhere we REALLY want to live while he gets his license.
