Some of these places cant be expensive. Del Mar? Ventura County line? Santa Cruz and Trestle? Narabine (Oz)? Manhattan (CA)? Doheny Way? Haggerties and Swammies? Pacific Palisades? San Onofre & Sunset? Redondo Beach? La Jolla? Waiamia Bay?

That's a different universe, never lived there. Some magical place I only saw on TV, maybe Dobbie Gillis. Expected to see the phrase "some lucky few".

The hippies moved to San Francisco, and the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in particular, because it was cheap.
