re: Do not move here - 5/31/2007 -
11/14/2008After growing up in WA, and then living in LA county for 25 years I moved to Temecula. I agree with this person's view of people's general attitude here, at least when I'm driving and dealing with people in public. Makes the San Gabriel Valley seem small town USA in comparision. The traffic is ridiculous. Poor planning. And I think the City Council is rather self-serving and short sighted in almost all of the decisions. The stay at home moms, if not looking exactly the same, have vehicles and attitudes which are the same (overside and in your face).
I came to this town starting about '92, and always said that if I had to stay in SoCal I'd want to live here. Married a woman from here in '05 and can't wait to move away when her youngest kid graduates next year. This town has really changed since everyone from SD and Orange counties moved here. No sense of community, just a bunch of people who couldn't afford to live where they work moving here to look down their rhinoplastied noses at everyone else. And locals are pissed about what's happened to their wonderful town. Everyone is angry about something.
But the wines not bad.

Med style climate -
11/14/2008For SoCal, Temecula has a nice climate.
Everyone from LA talks about how hot it is, but both Valleys are within a degree or two of Temecula every day of the year.
"Summer" - which last almost 6 months in SoCal. Temecula has a great onshore breeze that kicks up an hour or two before LA's breeze. Therefore, it cools off faster. By the time you get home from work, turn on the whole house fan, step outside to light the grill, and when dinners ready you'll probably stay outside to eat.
Air quality to far and away superior to anything that Orange, LA, San Berdo or most of Riverside county can dream of (exception - people living within a mile of the ocean). Almost every day the air is cycled out by the onshort flow each afternoon, and reverses each night.
The winters freeze a few nights a year, but almost always warm up to be able to walk around in jeans and t-shirt in the afternoon.
Fall is non-existent, except for all of the areas around here (but thank God not here) burning during the Santa Anas.
