There Goes the Neighborhood: Arnold and Maria House-Hunting in Ojai

Good morning. When we say ‘there goes the neighborhood,’ we mean, there go prices -- higher, if the governor buys a place up in Ojai.

The L.A. Times reported this weekend that the Schwarzeneggers have been house-hunting in Ojai,

the artsy enclave (see below) 90 miles north of L.A.

The Ventura County Star had the story Friday, but apparently it’s been bouncing around for a while -- The Sacramaento Bee reported that the Schwarzeneggers have already bid on a $6-million house.

We’ve wanted to visit Ojai ever since moving to L.A. three years ago. We’ve decided today is the day, so take this as a notice that comments will be slow to post today.

‘Artsy enclave?’ We think we can do better than that, with your help. Give us a pithy description of Ojai that encompasses the whole green dream-organic-yoga-liberal-artsy-outdoorsy vibe.
