Monterey. Beautiful. Serene. Magnificent coastline. Great cars and car shows.
Monterey: so expensive people will drive from Watsonville to work there....because they can't afford to live there. Tiny houses go for multiple hundreds of thousands. Others stand empty, as they are only in use by their foreign or absent owners a few weeks per year.
Monterey: the very essence of capitalism and monied interests.
A bunch of well to do, ultra-liberal, white folk who want to "pull up the drawbridge". I can't wait to move back to San Jose. By and large they're just as liberal there but capitalism is still the order of the day.
