[quote=XBoxBoy]It’s hard to say much without knowing much about your situation. Where will you be working from? Personally, I would really consider the impact of my commute if I were you.
Looks like you are only considering North County? What about Mission Hills, or Kensington, or North Park? Are you willing to go into an older neighborhood?
How important are schools? How many kids and what ages? How important is a yard? Would you trade being able to walk to stores for a smaller house?[/quote]
yes – commute is important. i like to keep it to 20-30mins and 35-45 in heavy traffic or accident clog. let’s just say i work at REI near the 52.
so i lived up-town in banker’s for awhile and loved it. but that was when i was single or with girlfriend but no kids. after becoming a parent, people with man-buns make me angry and i don’t want to be near that many weirdos/hipsters. basically all the democrat voters now cause deep rage in my soul. so those older hipper places are kind of out.
schools are very important, but with the real-world expectation that they will actually suck because california is just awful in this regard. let’s just say i have 2 kids that are not yet in elementary yet. yard requirement is “no fucking pool, we’re in a god damn drought”
