Between the Self Realization Fellowship Hermitage & Meditation Gardens for people wishing to enjoy only the best scenery, and the Encinitas Spa (for those who can afford it) this place is just better than other locations in so many ways. Many locals will be the first to tell you just that, too.The methodology on these click-baiting internet lists is always suspect, and that's certainly the case here. First, Movoto only considered cities with populations between 45,000 and 65,000, a bizarrely narrow range. Second, they had a small, highly debatable list of factors that define snobbery.
Encinitas is pretty snob-friendly, just by the numbers as well. This place had the sixth best performing arts, featuring attractions as the Encinitas Ballet, and a wide number of art galleries to get your creative culture from.
Of course, every snob knows that these attractions don’t come cheap, and thus the median home price here is the 11th most expensive on our list.
There aren't that many art galleries. And the few there are tend more toward the funky of Art n Soul on 101 than the legitimate snob galleries of Prospect Avenue in La Jolla.
And no, there is no attraction such as the Encinitas Ballet. It's a dance studio where you can take classes, not a major ballet production company.
This article is beneath me!
ReplyDeleteThese kinds of polls are basically a person's opinion which don't amount to much. I can't believe the big "ballet" we have here in Encinitas. Looks like they should have done a little more fact checking before publishing.
ReplyDeleteIt's not even a poll. It's entirely based on a wacky formula including such things as income, home prices, and fast food joints.
DeleteWC's link doesn't work, because this was nothing but a stunt to drive traffic to a real estate site. When you copy and paste the link, it automatically redirects to real estate listings.
Don't click the link--it just gives them what they want.
10:20: Encinitas Undercover is a cookbook!
Delete1:01 LOL. My 3rd grade teacher at PV once told the class she HATED the Beverly Hillbilliies. "I think they're a disgrace to the community!" Loved Mrs. Gregory, but she probably suffered from a snob gene. She lived in La Jolla but as a child her father was friends with LBJ who would visit their ranch in Texas via helicopter.
ReplyDelete1:03 We'll wait and see about ballet at PV.
But the boathouses our symbol of high-brow? I'll take it!
...friends with LBJ... or translated from Spanish....The BJ.
ReplyDeleteIf we all know what cajones are, then isn't El Cajon "the nut?"
Delete"El Culo" was taken.

DeleteIt's cojones. I'll let you figure out the rest.
Is that the ballet by the guys with the signs at the intersection of Leucadia and 101 every afternoon?
ReplyDeleteNope. That's broke dancing.

Delete1:12 Good article. And glad the man had an epiphany that "widening streets, increasing speeds and removing trees" as was part of his former job description, destroyed aesthetics and safety in communities.
