How I wish laid back pa din like a decade ago. Ngayon stressful na din due to urbanization. I used to drive from Angeles to San Fernando via MacArthur effortlessly, now madami na traffic choke points. tabi tabi na rin malls, Angeles and San Fernando, hinde naman ganun kalaki area compared to other cities, already have 4 SM malls,aside from other malls like Robinsons, Waltermart, SNR and pure gold.
Kaya if hanap ng tao yung medyo mas simpleng buhay and countryside setting, mas mainam sa mga outer towns like arayat, san simon, porac etc

I myself plan to retire there (i spend most weekends there nowadays). It's a good mix of a laid back and urban life. We already bought a some (subdivision) property and plan to annex it with additional lots when the opportunity comes.
But yes, traffic has been getting worse along McArthur highway between Angeles and CSFO. I dread the opening of that SM Telebastagan.
Yeah, it was a good decision on our end. The place is part of the big development around where Sandbox is located.
It is not like those developments beside Skyway or SLEX. The whole area will become a big complex with subdivisions, a country club, schools, an eco park, and a shopping complex. It sits in the 4 quadrants of the SCTEX-Porac interchange.
When I moved to a condo along a busy thoroughfare, I had to install a second set of windows to reduce noise levels drastically. The noise from cars aren't that bad actually, what annoys me are motorbikes with fartcans.
I look more at the corridor between CSFO and Angeles.
The Porac/Floridablanca and Mexico areas are nice to have a little farm in.
Googled Alviera anhd it seems interesting. But...hindi ba flood prone doon? I remember kasi medyo pag typhoon season masama flooding sa Pampanga.
