the culture section is a big advertisement. should be deleted.

one of the external links on the Laguna Beach, CA page is to a page called lagunatics.com. It is a 'blind' for a real estate rental company. Lots of incorrect info.

Better choice? LB Chamber of Commerce? http://www.lagunabeachinfo.org or the city's art community's page? http://www.lagunabeachcity.net

the community theatre that produces "Lagunatics" ™©,. is www.nosquare.org

the Festival of Arts/Pageant of the Masters is www.foa/pom.org

the bit about the television show appears opinionated and juvenile. could be rewritten.

[edit] Inaccurate and misleading demographic information

The median house price looks more like a mean at $2,000,000. The more accurate, and widely used median house price is somewhere along the lines of $930,000, which can be reached by looking at the assessed valuation of residential houses.

Laguna Beach has a high crime rate for its size as reported in local newspapers.


On current Laguna Beach Home prices ---

Assessed valuation is a very misleading way to estimate the median potential sale price of a home in Laguna Beach. Homes still affected by Proposition 13 limits are often assessed at 1/4 of sale value. At the present time the cheapest house for sale here is listed at $850,000 ( as of August 2007 ) The $2 million figure may be a bit high, but not by much. Whether these lofty prices will hold during the current softening of the market is anyone's guess.

The median price for a single-family home in Laguna Beach as of summer 2007 was about $1.6 million, according to DataQuick, a real estate information provider that publishes the figure monthly. Many homes in Laguna are small cottages and the price per square foot was an eye-popping $1,137 in August, DataQuick reported. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solagdude (talk • contribs) 02:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Why does this page need cleanup? It's good looking, and all the information is correct. I live in Laguna, and I can assure that all the information is completely accurate. I'm going to remove the cleanup template. -- ChunkyStyle (talk contribs) 01:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tidepools

Why does this entire article on Laguna Beach not comment on its amazing tidepools? I'm sure that people would be interested to know about them. Just check out those tidepools near Seal Rock! Might be the best in the USA. Wakata —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.120.61 (talk) 01:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
