If you have the money La Jolla is the place to be. Coronado is up there as well, but lack the views there, La Jolla has the views. Some part of North County along the coast is also quite nice.

That first one will fall off the cliff in a few years.

Re: McMansion
 

yeah it will eventually, does happen from time to time, its a risk people take though.

Can't stop the ocean.

Quite.
What price beachfront properties as sea level rises?
Q. Who will build the wall that Mare Largo will need to keep the sea out? The cubans?

Re: McMansion
 

Not only will it go over the cliff in the next big rain storm but before that the foundations will probably crack because it looks likes it's built on a sand dune. The $30M mansion looks like an aquarium. The rooms would be too bright and it looks like there's no privacy in the washroom.

Wouldn't say no to this one - on a lake..http://comchoice.ca/listing/4-784-sa...-1s8-20434419/

Even has boat parking.

Re: McMansion
 

I think Jsmth has the right idea... if you've got tens of millions to drop on a property, a fancy designer concrete & glass box by the sea is a way better option than a Holiday Inn-style mansion made of 2"x4" in the middle of the steppes.

Although I'd far rather it was on the Mediterranean rather than the US coast. :)

Nice little pool there ;)

Re: McMansion
 

That isn't something that people in the US seem to give much thought to, and I have never seen frosted/ patterned glass in a bathroom or toilet, even on the ground floor, other than "windows" constructed from glass blocks. It is one of the luxuries of housing in the US, that there is sufficient room between dwellings that you often really don't need privacy screening, …. or at least you didn't until drones became ubiquitous! :(

Our ground floor bathroom has a glass block window (which actually affords relatively little privacy if you stand outside and peer through it), the upstairs bathroom has no window, but the downstairs "half bath" (toilet) has a plane glass window that looks out to the wooded bank opposite 15m-40m away. There is a venetian blind over the window, but I like the view. :) The perceived lack of privacy used to freak out my mother when she visited even though (i) the window is above head height on the outside, (ii) the light, shade, and/or angle of the sun makes it difficult to make out anything inside looking from outside, except at night if you turn the light on, and (iii) we own all the property outside the window, including the wooded bank and beyond, and there isn't anyone out there trying to look in!

I like the cinema room.

Re: McMansion
 

I like those ocean homes with all the glass for the natural light they get, nothing better then a house with lots of natural lighting. The views are nice too. And being right on the ocean, you have a natural method of keeping cool most of the summer, only during Santa Ana's does the coast really warm up.
