Crime and cost of living in your area.

I spent a lot of time in Oceanside in the early 80's when I was stationed at Pendleton.
Sorry, I didn't consider that to be a nice place to raise kids.
Downtown always got rowdy for sure, Marines like to drink and fight and mix in the bangers and cholos. The burbs of O side were nice when I was a kid, still nice but you gotta have millions.
