My town

Dana Point is my town. I chose it for its marine layer and harbor, the gentle foghorn waking me mornings, seagulls overhead, the ocean--that blue buzz drew poetry from this writer, and then there are those noon Mission bells that waft uphill from nearby San Juan Capistrano. But, alas, the cost of living has driven me to have to leave until I can sell the next great American novel to buy my house back and once again live in paradise.
So, I saw that someone is in the same bittersweet boat and was asking where does one go from Dana Point? Short of joining up with Jesus in real paradise, maybe Coeur d'alene, Idaho. It's got the same sort of peaceful beat but the weather sort of sucks at times. The tricky part is employment or should I say self-employment. Because from my understanding you need short breaks from there. The only other place would be the Italian Mediterranean. And maybe the best neighborhood in Colorado Springs or Boulder, which are actually affordable.
Dana Point, specifically Monarch Beach, is probably though my favorite place on earth! You just have to be a millionaire to live there.
