I prefer to give people reliable data rather then biased opinions. Similarly as you know making rash statements that are based on no factual data is exactly what is wrong with the internet these days. Thus my preference on giving data and letting buyers look at it in an unobjective light and making their own decisions is best.
As you know, clearly the only MR in PQ are in the far west at Torrey and also on the strip off of Del Sur in the developments around Santa Luz. As far as Scripps goes the MR fees are present in Stonebridge and in the 90s vintage homes off of Spring Valley on the Scripps/Sabre Springs border. The budget for this buyer is below those homes so it is a non factor. Older Scripps has no MR. Additionally every condo will have HOA, very few of them under 200 and many as much as well over 300 and maybe 400.
The original poster has their preferences and working within those parameters is best. However making statements like “I think this one is best for you” is in my opinion irresponsible. If the OP wants to live in UC then great, finding what suits him/her best in that area is the way to go. If the OP wants to look at other areas as they may get more house for the money then that is okay to. It is up to them to decide about factors like commutes and such. It is not up to me or any others to push gas statistics and other things into their face and press hard to bail on alternatives because of that.
Also note that you do not do any of that and I think you are very informed buyer who doesn’t push people one way or the other, nor do you let yourself be pushed. I like your style.
