The controversy brewing in one of America’s most expensive zip codes is over, for the time being at least.
I recently wrote about the push from a large contingent of Rancho Santa Fe homeowners to have the community become incorporated – there are benefits of doing so, but also lots of controversy among the residents, some of which revolves about the exclusive neighborhoods that would be excluded from the incorporation that are now considered Rancho Santa Fe.
For a community where the median home price right now is about $2.7 million, this is big news.

It seems that sufficient voters have decided this is not to be, at least for now. The required number of signatures to bring the issue before the Local Agency Formation Commission came in woefully low (or thankfully so, depending on your perspective).
For now, Rancho Santa Fe remains as it is. No doubt the push for incorporation will continue.

This must have been an interesting effort to watch. I wonder if it will happen some day? I love that you are on top of all of the news in your area!
Diane - well I also have some out of town buyers who are interested in the area who had some concerns about the ramifications of the change if the HOA they bought in did not end up in RSF. Lots of cache attached to being in that community. And it would likely negatively impact the homeowners's property values who fell outside the incorporated area.
