Rarely do you learn about your neighbors by reading published judicial opinions. But I learned a bit today.
The opinion at issue is a run-of-the-mill appeal about community property in a divorce. Fact-specific for the most part. The former spouses had been married for 15 years, and had two kids and various properties. I noticed that the case was out of San Diego, and recognized the general location of some of the properties (Encinitas, etc.).
But it wasn't until I saw this line that I became keenly interested: "Rosalinda 'had been living rent free for approximately the last three years,' and George had been 'living in a 2 million dollar plus residence in Point Loma.'"
Hey! Point Loma! That's pretty much where I live!
Mind you, he's over the hill, on the bay side. By the Yacht Club. Nice location, to be sure. And, yes, the house is indeed worth a couple of million or so.
I don't know the parties personally. But still. Neighbors. To a degree.
