This is the video I didn't know I needed. Just an overview walk of the area where I'm free to observe without distracting narration or music. I plan to learn more before I visit, but this sort of quiet tour allows me to take the surroundings in. Great work, Andrew.

For those who don't know, this area is a rare treasure both for CA and the US. It's a real shame it isn't larger or that more of CA looks like this (SF and LA are nothing like it). The main settlers of the area I think were artists and creative types so they put a lot of thought into the aesthetic of what they were building, intentionally trying to create a charming village that still felt immersed in the natural plant life of the area. Now it arguably gets a bit too many tourists for its size and is heavy on the pricey shops. Also, young artists tend to flock to the same hipster hot spots these days, so mainly LA (Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz) in CA, not places like this.

Zoning. The large majority of cities in the US have very strict zoning laws that stifle that creativity of which you speak.

Hawaii is less expensive than Carmel, Ca , in term of property tax. Maui has exemptions and lower percentage tax rate for residents. However, water and energies and food are expensive. Paying jobs are low and maybe no jobs. If you save a lot of money in the property taxes, no mortgage, retired and almost off-grid, then you go it made.

Such a little gem in California I can’t wait to one day visit and walk the path you walked.

Looooove this town, been there twice. Here in Norway all towns are small and cozy, so this felt more like home to me than most towns in USA.

Thanks for posting this. I have been to Carmel a few times & stayed at the Pine Inn on Ocean Street. The town is amazing & so pretty its almost unreal. It is one part of California that is still intact & unspoiled. It's unfortunate the video didn't include some footage of the beautiful beach at the end of Ocean Street.

I remember walking through that arcade (14:00-15:30) with my parents when I was four, back in 1966, and thinking it was the coolest place. Not much has changed since then, except the dining area was more open, without that wall that creates a separate room around the fireplace. The area was darker then too, sort of late '60s in style--more mysterious and exotic looking. Carmel was one of our go-to places when relatives came out from Michigan to visit. The town has given me many happy memories. Thanks for posting.

Then went to Sea World in San Diego.

Visited this place for the first time. People seem extremely friendly however, I just don't quite understand all the rave. Very difficult to find parking. Lots of steep hills - not a good spot for strollers and wheelchairs although doable if you're in love with this place. Overall, it just looks like a tiny district getting swallowed by a forest. Nearby beach is beautiful though!
