Review of Vista, California


Paradise lost
Star Rating - 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 themselves to be so when they sold the houses of the greedy worms that owned them to people (?) who did not deserve or earn them.

At this time I live in New Jersey, I plan to relocate to CA. 3 towns have been suggested to me, Oceanside, Vista and San Marcos. All 3 towns were suggested to me by what you call real estate agents are the lowest form of life, so what else is new? Should I continue to look at these 3 town are look elseware? Dennis
