1/11/2016Yes I agree (now that I thought about it). I am visiting here now. I have a relative here. I am from California all my life. I say too sunny in CA if that is possible.
but yes The overcast does get to me. I haven't been here long enough to live thru the seasons, as I don't officially live here yet, if ever. But as a long time visitor back and forth I say For Sure a Vacation here (at the right time
is absolutely beautiful, and I come from another Real nice but $$$ town / state.
I do however 'feel' that this place is going to be overpopulated (like CA) has become and rapidly...with like they say retired folks with (and without) $$$.

1/11/2016Soquel Rocks ! I love it and it is Not Santa Cruz tho it Is a bordering town.
hmmm...I think maybe that Santa Cruz County is like a microcosm of United States. With all of the different attitudes and (vibes) Yes I am One of the Vanishing Hippies. Or rather Beach Babes ! more like. anyway many microclimates, and you can go from the wharf in SC to 7M up hiway 9 to Felton and the temperature goes from 55* or 65* TO 105* during summer.
Soquel is always warm as it is just 2M inland.
I see traffic as a serious problem, and the bad roads. I like both Mike's description And Tarringtons. Soquel and The Westside are different areas. Sounds like Tarrington is on the Westside. It IS Very Beautiful, and also what Tarrington says Is True. These two folks are seeing things from a different perspective. Mike wants to see the best. But I will say You will have to do nothing But work if you want to own a home there. It is extremely $$$ and all of the negatives ARE there ! If you can stay in your beautiful homes (and most of those folks Do !) then yeah go for it. But if you have to go to town and interact I'd say thing Twice and then again. Tarrington got it right. But still Westside and Soquel are my favorite places on Planet Earth ! I wish something could be done about the gangs. And the prices.
