[quote=carlsbadworker]I wanted to check out PF Chang the other day and was told the wait is two hours. So at least PFCB is making money.

Yeah, Temecula/Murrieta is really growing.
PF Changs seats how many people? 100? 135?
In a city population of what? 100,000 ?
So that makes it 1/1000th of the city population spending their money at PF Changs. BFD.
Throw in Murrtown’s population of another 100,000 and that makes it 1 in 2000 of the local pop are eating at PFC. Again, BFD.
I also live in Redhawk. I’m renting this year and last year. I’ve got several neighbors who also rent these 3000+ sqft homes because they lost their own. Houses nearby still have the realtor’s locks on them for 4-5 months with no For Sale signs going up. House prices still dropping in the Fairways gated area. Another neighbor just had her husband walk out on her and her kids. Another family friend declared BK last year and said they have more than a couple friends in town who have done the same. Probably 30% of the houses on my street are renters. Another neighbor of mine is fearful of losing their job and said we were smart to have sold our house early 2008. I’ve got other neighbors who aren’t paying their prop taxes for the last 2-3 times – I checked, they’re behind.
I think there’s still a lot of hidden pain here in terms of higher Unemployment and decreasing home values in Temecula/Murrtown area.
I’m going to wait this out. Been seeing more low lifes lately. The deterioration is not over.
