Well, since I'm by Malibu and those houses cost a fortune... I'd love to have one. Right on the beach too. Summer is coming, I could work from the deck on the beach with a "changed latitude".

I would take the mountain views. But this question is like asking Do you perfer straight hair or curly hair? The people with straight hair want curly, and the people with curly hair want straight.

Yes, please. 1 of each. No, wait, 2 of each. Oh, darnit, just give me a whole stable of each.

OK, ok, if I had to choose just one, mountains would win. I love beaches too, but not all beaches (prefer some character vs. flat sand with a flat view). Haven't really met a mountain I don't like.
