[quote=flu]But my question is the following. If Chula Vista is really a dump with schools that suck, then wouldn’t the level of suckiness being increasingly worse now than before, if we believe that the illegal/border crossers have also exploded more recently?
It seems like looking at the API scores of the past, it’s been consistently the same throughout time, irrespective of the change in the number of illegals and border crosses that apparently some have claimed to have significantly increased.
So is there really serious deterioration of the schools in Chula Vista that would even more drastically affect home prices because of increased illegal or boarder crossers?[/quote]No, there hasn’t been any deterioration of our schools’ overall performance. This is due to our wonderful, infinitely patient, very experienced and dedicated teachers, a large portion whom are eligible for retirement today or will be in the coming few years. But the presence of thousands of “daily border-crossing students” attending our public schools IS and HAS BEEN for DECADES using up our district resources, which could be better deployed to enrich the educations of those who have a right to attend our schools and also whose parents are paying through the nose in local property taxes (including exorbitant MR).
You’re apparently still getting “illegals” and “border-crossing students” mixed up here, flu. You’re obviously still confused about the two and there IS a HUGE difference. “Illegals” undoubtedly exist in your area as well as all other Piggs’ areas (except possibly those who reside in “protected” covenants, such as Fairbanks Ranch and RSF). “Illegals” likely work inside the covenant(s) but they don’t reside there unless they are living as a guest or guest worker inside someone’s home. “Illegals” also live in every county of this state (some much moreso than others) and their children have every right to attend school in those counties IF their parents can prove they have a bona-fide address (or in some cases, an employer affiliation and reside on the employer’s land in mobile homes) to their respective public school districts.
As a matter of fact, flu, as late as the early nineties, your particular micro-area housed the largest migrant camp of “illegals” in the entire state! It took SDPD a total of almost six years to completely clean it out and evict all the occupants!
We in South County are very well located, unlike the far-flung lizardland communities. Yes, the international border is close by but you can’t take away its extremely convenient location to all that SD has to offer. Location, location, location (as they say in RE parlance) is what fuels RE values. We (and our sister-hybrid community “Bonita”) are NOT freeway dependent in any way, shape or form. Especially for those South County residents who live 8-12 miles from the border and don’t have to duke it out every workday with tens of thousands of commuters residing in CV’s three later-annexed-in zip codes situated southeast of the city. Thus, SD South County’s RE values have and will remain stable (except for IB near the beach, which is subject to more of a boom/bust market due to sewage from Mexico intermittently washing up on its beaches).
Lots of people who “can’t qualify” to buy anything in South County end up in the far reaches of SD East County or North County lizardland communities … or even Temecula (RIV Co). It is what it is.
