## Verdict
Solid backup. Becomes #3 if Westchester’s pipeline weakness or LAX noise is a dealbreaker. Loses to Westchester on coastal proximity, ties on schools, loses on Maya’s commute.

Pros: Coastal climate, no fire risk, no flight-path noise; Real K-12 pipeline (CCUSD) — better than Westchester’s 6-12 leg; Derek’s I-10 commute to DTLA is one of the more predictable Westside corridors.
Cons: $200k down at $1.85M is even tighter here — the SFH stock that meets 3bd/2ba/2,000+sqft skews $1.7M+; El Marino is lottery-only — easy to over-index on it during touring; Maya’s 405-to-Burbank commute is the same brutal corridor as Westchester.
