The closest equal to my situation back in San Diego would have been living in Encinitas (20 miles out from downtown and really nice suburb). To have a house and yard similar in size there, would have been about $2M (3400 sq ft house, 10K yard, 27000 gallon pool). The property taxes would have been twice what I'm paying here.

I get my shirts laundered for $2.00/ea light starch.
3400 sq/ft + 10K yard + pool for $2M? You must be talking a couple blocks from the beach or killer ocean views. You can stay within 2 miles of the beach and drop that to $700K for a beautiful custom home with same amenities.
