A beautiful place along the southern California coastline. No complaints about the sun and surf, and spending my late childhood in this quiet beachy town. However, it tends to be a bubble in terms of perspective and awareness and I'd like to see citizens here take the initiative to educate themselves more on a myriad of issues - race, education, healthcare disparities, etc. In a place that tends to feel like paradise, people here forget that there are problems that are indirectly and directly caused by their participation in commercialism, and certain industries that exploit other groups of people to a great extent.
I've been here for 30 years. It was once a beautiful, small beach town with surfers, art galleries, tiny mom n pop and tourist shops all along 101. It has 5 distinctly different parts of town; Old part on the beach along the coast with bungalows or million dollar properties beside each other, new with tract home development from the '70's filled with families, country with acre properties and orchards and 2 parts funky with tiny mom and pop shops and restaurants. But the changes this progressive mayor has pushed has changed the town to unrecognizable. It's painfully sad how she's hand picked council member friends, accepted developers $$$ and encouraged the homeless here so she can collect gov funds etc. The town has changed. Not the beach town I fell in love with. Big chain stores taking over small businesses. Pushing me out and it's sad for ppl living here who remember what it was once like. Now, it's a nice town to visit. Let them take your tourist $$$.
I feel safe in Encinitas. People are kind, friendly and helpful. It is very family oriented with a lot of parks: playground structures, dog parks, skate parks and trails in the city and surrounding areas. Best of all are the beaches!
