[quote=bearishgurl]You said it, AN. TODAY, they are “hiring like mad.” What about tomorrow??
MM market is “semi-HOT” right now because it is “affordable” and employees who are just starting out (working in 92121) can AFFORD to buy there (as opposed to UC, DM, SV and LJ). Truly, I’m not trying to “condemn” MM! I have nothing against it. It is in an excellent location for SV workers.
What if any of those medium-sized or large firms decide to move to the state of SD .. or LA? It’s been “done” before, you know.
All I’m saying here is that the typical construction and interior location of MM is not necessarily “desirable” to the masses but for its easy access to well-paying jobs. You must agree that it is 100% ALL on tract! Really, I have no problem with the area … in general … except it tends to be hot in the middle of the business day … but so do many other areas of SD County. In addition, there are other areas of the county that suffer from the same construction defects as MM.
I KNOW that MM is your “hometown,” AN. You are fortunate in that MM is/was a good place to grow up. There’s really nothing wrong with it. I’m simply stating here to “caveat emptor” (as a buyer). This applies to many communities in SD (other than MM).[/quote]
MM have always been cheaper than UC, DM, and LJ (I left out SV, because I’m pretty sure you’re referring to the west side of MM). BTW, I’m also assuming you’re talking about MM and not SV workers, since there’s not a lot of workers in SV.
Some might move, but the biggest one in MM are not moving anytime soon. They’re actually expanding in MM. Do you think a company would expand if they’re in the process of moving? They’ve been in MM for 25 years, why would they move when they’re in the process of consolidating all of their builds to be in MM?
I don’t want to sound too cliche but it’s all about location, location, location. Again, hot in the middle of the business day? It really depend on where in MM. My house gets plenty of canyon breeze. I go home for lunch everyday and it ain’t hot most of the days. The last 3 years, there were only about 2 weeks out of every year where I wished I had A/C.
What’s wrong with TRACT? Most of North County are on on tract. I personally wouldn’t touch custom houses unless they’re the 5000+ sq-ft type in RSF. I don’t know if most people care if a house is a tract home or not like you do. You seem to care a lot while I could care less.
So, care to mention a few construction defect you’re referring to and which area of MM have those construction defect?
