“A Podunk school on the outskirts of some forgotten desert city? Nope. How about 3 acres of prime coastal real estate 1 block from the beach? Yep.”
At the corner of Fourth and F Street in Encinitas sits a paradox. A huge parcel of prime coastal real estate wearing nothing but some dilapidated buildings and a rusty chain link fence. Born in 1953, and closed in 2003, here sits Pacific View Elementary School, still waiting for a community-approved purpose in life once again.
