My aunt told me she moved there in 1988 to get away from the crowds in orange county. Temecula changed from a beautiful rural area to much the same. You need to video all the empty shops in Temecula and Murrieta that have been bought up by foreign investors. The shop owners had their monthly rents being doubled from 5000 a month to 10,000 a month or more. They had to close up and now you only see nail salons, smoke shops, barber shops, Asian massage shops and rarely independent mom and pop shops. In Temecula there have been empty shops for at least 10-15yrs. To those businesses that survived they had to pick less desirable places to rebuild their businesses.

Of course, Temecula is just down the road. Wifey and I had our first date in Temecula (at Miramonte) which is also where I proposed to her (Wilson’s Creek). Because of that, Temecula will always have a special place in my heart. I would live there if I were retired.

My friends and I had a great time two stepping at the Stampede, watching Dan Fouts team penning for charity, horse shows, rodeos, concerts at the wineries, private parties at grand estates. I wasn't rich, just well connected. I left California when I retired. I was priced out of my birthstate. Temecula was once a friendly little village, much like Fallbrook and my beloved Julian. Once the I-15 freeway was completed, that once bucolic area between Escondido and Temecula grew fast. Shopping malls, housing tracts, winerys and casinos replaced cattle and horse ranches.

I remember driving through Temecula on then the two lane US 395 in 1969. Back then Temecula had a population of about 500 people and it was hardly noticeable. By 1972 US 395 had been widened to a 4 lane divided highway to the growing south end of town where it became a 2 mile uphill 8 lane concrete freeway before becoming a 2 lane road again at the top of the hill. By 1976 US 395 was no longer signed and the highway running through Temecula had become an 8 lane freeway now signed as I-15. After that freeway opened and was eventually completed beyond Temecula, it began to resemble a new metropolis. It was astonishing how fast Temecula came to be from almost nothing in a relatively short period of time.

My family moved about fifteen minutes north of Temecula in 1976 and I am still in the area. Back then, Temecula was relegated to the run-down "old part" just north of Temecula Parkway exit and on the west side of the 15 freeway. Everything else was "Rancho California" as the developers were thinking about really investing. East of the 15, from the hills of Murrieta east of the 215 clear down to what is now Temecula Parkway to the south was open field and scattered ranches. Winchester Road was a small road with one lane either way. Many of today's roads that existed at the time were dirt. Where the mall stands would become a gigantic lake (although only a foot or two deep) in wet winters. Soon, developers reigned, and the beginnings of "civilization" started expanding Rancho California. The town's emblem became a rose, and every street sign in RC sported a red rose. Eventually, a giant sign was placed along the 15 northbound on the west side to announce to all those coming from the south (SD county) that they were entering Rancho California. It was a large wall with the town's name and a huge metallic gold rose. At juuuust the right time every afternoon, you could see every car going northbound that wasn't a local, because they'd hit the sun's reflection off that rose and almost wreck. That sign is long gone. By the 80s everything old was new again, and they all decided they should call their town Temecula (what a novel idea). Rancho California was all but forgotten save for a few vestiges and a major freeway exit. I walked the wooden sidewalks when they weren't built for tourists. Yeah, I'd say it's changed.

My Aunt (a retired schoolteacher) just moved from Murrietta a little south to Vista. She used to have an Avocado and Citrus orchard in Fallbrook in the 1970s and 80s with my Uncle. All these towns are next to each other. Fallbrook is the best for those seeking old California. There are older homes with little orchards available. It is an agricultural zone where they still grow oranges and avocados. Very much needed in Southern California. It costs money. But there's a good mix of Military, Farmers and retirees there. My Grandfather had citrus tree farms in Vista and Fallbrook. He hired Indians, Mexicans and Okies. Broke from the Depression and WWII. Japan is very rich, but makes sure to grow its own food. Southern California would be wise to do the same. Most folks in this area are fine with that.

27:16 You can see the occasional homeless person on this street and at night they like to sleep in that shopping center, particularly in the walled off cart coral at the Salvation Army. Honestly I would too lol.

Finding litter along roads. I have once witnessed a cup thrown out of a window. We have many people who put ALL their trash out the windows of their cars. You know how difficult it is to get all that cleaned up, and I heard in Texas they don't even bother. In California, we've got cleanup crews. How often do they show up? The amount of trash you find on a road is directly related to how much traffic you have on that road all over the United States. I would love it if you could teach us about a place where this is not true. Due to our awesome weather, I can see why the homeless have shown up. I like the way you interview them. The homeless that live in their cars is an interesting group too. Another KZitemr showed that Walmart doesn't let them sleep overnight there anymore. I think you are trying to find the "not in my backyard" place. Temecula must have law enforcement like this. Law enforcement does make all the difference. I'm sure all the squatters you meet will tell you they are where they are because law enforcement tacitly allows it. In San Bernardino, you said they are hunting and gathering. I prefer to say they are living off the fat of our society like finding huge empty parking lots not being used at night in order to sleep there. The fat is all the things they can get for free without working for them. Eliminating the fat now would seem impossible. People haven't starved to death for not working since the 1920s and 30s. I'm not going to tell you the city name because I love it so much, but a begger once told me he would be beaten there by the police if he begged, so he went to the neighboring city to beg. He scored a 20-dollar bill and a whole large pizza on one beg. He was so happy. My other interesting observation was staying in Albuquerque, New Mexico for three nights where the cars blaring music on their radios are everywhere. Santa Fe is one hour away. I saw a police officer run up to a car there and say, "The loud music is not allowed." That's law enforcement. As you said, the vibe in the two cities is like day and night. We Americans have this weird way of separating into our little groups. Where would you feel most comfortable living, Santa Fe or Albuquerque?

Temecula in one word: Montonomy What you described is suburbia. Come to North County San Diego, and you will see the same thing, just planned out better because our cities grew slowly over time, preventing the monotonous feeling you get in Temecula. Suburbia is lovely when it doesn't define the identity of a city. The irony is that Temecula has always been the meme joke of San Diego. San Diego is unique in that we have proximity to other Socal Cities while keeping our identity due to geographical barriers (Camp Pendleton/ mountains), but even San Diego itself has a diversification. LA/OC/SB/RS are two interconnected valleys, so they all blend together. SD has a significant variation in geography, resulting in unique communities usually separated by a natural preserve like a lagoon, a big hill, or a valley ( we don't build in valleys other than Mission Valley, which is a joke in itself because it always floods.). Completely master-planned but has no natural preservations, and almost all the residential arterial roads are underutilized because there are few side roads to redistribute traffic. Temecula needs to diversify its road network further, but no room remains. Hypocritically is increasing the population instead. Even though it is safe to cycle there, I rarely encounter cyclists, which shows that poor connectivity makes cycling an inconvenient suburban maze Which is a shame because Temecula isn't actually that big. Very car dependent because of zoning. 90s McMansions everywhere that already look outdated Temecula has a sterile feeling, and what is up with those traffic lights? The average speed is 20mph on the 79, an underutilized 6/8 lane "stroad", actually a state highway. It's like the lobotomized version of cities, with no personality whatsoever, not even a corporate feel. The only thing really going for them are the wineries, but even the wineries have an artificial feel because there're too many clumped in the same area. If sugar-coated conservative suburbia zoning is your fantasy utopia, Temecula is your place. Enjoy it while it's still relatively fresh and uncrowded, heavy urban sprawl is rolling in like a freight train. Personally, I'd rather have a casual conversation with a homeless person (people ostracize them too quickly) while watching surfers at swamis beach than stare at the Marine Layer trying to pass over the Shadowed Santa Ana Mountains sitting in traffic
