[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]No, FIH has stated here in so many words that he “suspects” tenant-applicants in South County to somehow be “lesser-qualified” than the tenants he is used to dealing with (up north?).
I’m just putting this ridiculous assumption to rest as nothing could be further from the truth.
[/quote]You’re responding to me about a point that I didn’t make? I don’t care how many section 8 there area. I do care who are the majority renters.[/quote]
My point is/was that “poor people” and otherwise “unqualified” renters (without a subsidy) reside almost everywhere in the county. I used your preference example because I have heard those same three communities espoused as “preferred communities” to purchase rental investments in elsewhere on this blog and have also repeatedly read here over the years that posters felt rental applicants applying for housing south of I-8 were somehow “lesser qualified” than those applying north of I-8. Obviously, they’re misinformed. (ex: FIH admitted here that he hasn’t visited Chula Vista yet and he’s “typical” of those previous posters.) It’s all BS. It has nothing to do with high-tech jobs. Only a fraction of SD County tenants work in high tech (I don’t know what that fraction is, but it’s the minority). Yes, it’s even a minority of “single” tenants.
I’m sure you’re aware that a “professional” isn’t necessarily a high-tech worker.
Your re-mention of this preference today was convenient for me to use. It was nothing personal aimed at you, AN.
