Translation: Costa Mesa is cheaper than its neighbors because it isn't as nice as its neighbors.

True. Crime is higher in Costa Mesa than Irvine. (Comparing it to one of the nations safest cities, however). But Costa Mesa has better weather, not as much of an arrogant, entitled populace, and it has better dining and shopping options than Irvine by far.
