I posted mein kampf about the metrolink when I gave up on it about October,
2001.  But just because it wasn't right for me, doesn't mean it isn't a
good idea.  The idea of walking to take a train to work is really very
attractive.  If I took the train again, I'd probably spring the extra $
for Amtrak, if for no other reason than I'm too tall for those metrolink
seats.

I can't really answer your question, but there appeared to be some pretty
koo1 places near the Capistrano station.  Oceanside is way cheaper, but
has some pretty scuzzy spots (although it has improved most noticeably
in the last 15 years).  If I didn't have dependents and a desire for
breathing room, I might seriously consider living near the harbor.

It all boils down to how much you want to spend and for what sort of
lifestyle.  Everyone should treat themselves to living at the beach
at least once in their single lives.
