As an aside, I just had an interesting take on Carmel Valley which I dont particularly care for but lots of folks do. Chew on this one. If you lost your multi-million dollar estate in Rancho Santa Fe and had to find a place to live more modestly but wanted to minimize and impact from relocating your family….where do you think you would go? Do you think CV will be on the list of displaced RSF families to keep their kids in the same schools and community?

BTW, Alan dont know if you saw my post but how would you like to line up against Pop Warner teams coached by Rick Mirer, Andre Reed and Duane Bickett?[/quote]

sdr: I agree with your take on RSF versus CV. Instead of “trade up”, we’re now seeing “trade down”, which I also believe mirrors some of the new frugality in the US. There are those that are trying to maintain their old lifestyle, but I see many more folks cutting back and economizing and learning from their mistakes.

Regarding the Pop Warner teams: We ARE lining up against them! Watch out for Valley Center this year.
