It's obvious that you are a snooty liberal, and it's great to hear you'll be leaving. God (oops, did I say that?) help the place you land. San Fran would be a good choice.
I've lived in Santee for over 30 years, and in the early years, Klantee may have been an appropriate moniker. But no more. Sure, it's pretty white (if you include the 19% Hispanic population as white), but it isn't any more racist than, say, Hillcrest. There are several decent places to eat, and middle of the road shopping. And we can't forget our "discount loop" (Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, Office Depot,etc) which can be very convenient.
The real problems are traffic congestion and hot summers. The traffic engineers should be fired for incompetence. And we must just live with the climate.
Population hasn't really grown too much in the last 5 years, and that's a good thing.
Overall, Santee is a bedroom community - safe, quiet, and rather peaceful.
