Uhh, yuhtey? (You too, flu.) Where exactly on this thread have I recommended to you to buy your first home in Chula Vista?
I actually feel Chula Vista is not for you, primarily due to its “blueness.” We have plenty of custom homes, large lots and wealth down here … we just don’t flaunt it (much akin to the attitude of longtime La Jollans). So, that’s not the problem. The problem here is that your kind would not fit in in these parts, mostly due to your overt intolerant attitude and besides, I feel you would be miserable.
I now feel that you would do best in a relatively plain vanilla walled-in brick enclave of all brick mcmansions, all on one-acre lots surrounding a man-made lake smack dab in the middle of TX (length of commute be damned). The good news is that you can probably afford this! And who knows, you may be able to snag a new construction home to your liking!
Now, all you need to do is get yourself transferred over there stat and buy yourself a nice new $65K jacked-up 4×4 dualie doublecab one-ton-plus pick-em-up truck with shiny chrome Smittybuilt tubular siderails and hang whatever your little heart desires on the tow hitch to go house-hunting in. Don’t be bashful! Fill the back window and bumper with all your tea party and assorted right-wing bumper stickers! ‘Careful how you talk to the locals ’round there, though … even when doing something innocuous … like pumping gas! You might quickly find yourself in an unexpected shitstorm for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. And I can assure you that there won’t be time for you to fix it.
