My mother lives in Oceanside. Granted, it's nice being close to the beach, but north county has gotten so crowded. My family lived in Leucadia when I was a kid mid to late 60s. Our house was in the middle of the Avocado groves. I used to get paid by the neighboring avocado farmers for shootin avocado rats with my BB gun on their farms :lol: . 30 minute walk or 15 minute bike ride to the beach.
