[edit] Housing Costs

If the average household income is under $100,000 then how can the people afford houses that cost on average $1,500,000 ? (Corby 22:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC))

Many of the residents may have bought their houses when the average price was only $500k. -Will Beback 22:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Most people that live in Coronado rent. Those that own houses have lived in Coronado for years and decades, and bought their houses at significantly lower prices. And there are the fabulously wealthy to consider as well. --Laserbeamcrossfire 22:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swastika

What about the swastika house complex in Coronado? Can someone drop a couple lines about it?

On September 27, 2007, the Los Angeles Times said "The Navy will spend as much as $600,000 to modify a 40-year-old barracks complex that resembles a swastika from the air, a gaffe that went largely unnoticed before satellite images became easily accessible on the Internet."

I checked through Google Earth, and the swastika is really there (32°40'33.97"N 117° 9'27.66"W). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.227.150.68 (talk) 08:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fact request about notable quests

Please see the hotel's History URL. This hotel is very posh and actually maintains a guestbook under glass of past guests. In that URL, you will read that Lindbergh, Monroe and the resort has also seen a steady stream of celebrity visitors - from Charlie Chaplin and Humphrey Bogart to Brad Pitt and Madonna. I would not doubt that the other guests listed have been there. Please see also: Hotel del Coronado and the ghost of Kate Morgan (who is also listed on this page).

If you still have doubts about the other guests, I would recommend the guests listed here and on that webpage be listed and cited. Ronbo76 03:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

also the island belongs to Mexico, no the u.s the u.s pays Mexico some sort of "Rent" so that Mexico doest take it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.94.178 (talk) 04:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I presume you refer to the Coronado Islands, which can be seen from Coronado but are in Mexico.66.159.200.76 (talk) 02:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
