btw, I love the houses in Alvarado Estates. Is that where you grew up, Essbee?[/quote]

No, but my parents live in 92115, and I’ve gone jogging there before. Even though gated, it was pretty easy to get in/out as a pedestrian.

The SDSU president’s house is somewhere in there.
Here’s an article about “too much spending on university president’s houses while tuitions rise.”

http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/state&id=8680455

From a list in that article:
“San Diego State University: President Elliot Hirshman lives in University House in Alvarado Estates, not far from campus.
Square feet: 5,216
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 4
Built: 1962
Sales price: $1.2 million (in 2000)
Renovations: The university spent $257,000 using a combination of donor funds, lease revenue and catering revenue to renovate University House, including interior and exterior painting, replacement of large windows, a kitchen renovation, new carpet, pool replastering, a catering kitchen and more. “[/quote]

Very interesting, Essbee. Here is the accompanying article about SDSU’s president’s home:

CSU’s rates are now $1587 for ONE 3-unit (incomplete or previously-failed) class and $2736 for 6 semester units (now considered “FT”).

Tuition at CSU (“fees” in CA), have risen eight times since 2004!

I’m beyond gratified to hear that SDSU President Hirshman has a remodeled kitchen.
