Best Family Areas for Low-$1Millions Budget

[quote=njtosd] we moved from CV to NJ for 4 yrs and then moved back to CV. I picked my screen name during the moving process.[/quote]

LOL… I always thought it was some take off on a karate move or something that IP lawyers would say. “That company tried to steal my client’s IP but I njtosd ’em and that fixed that!”

Funny the things we think of when we don’t know any better!

[quote=yuhtey]

here are 3 examples of entitled baby boomer douchebaggery towards my family in CV:

“i can’t believe they are actually feeding their child macaroni and cheese” said an old pricey bitch just loud enough so that we could hear it from across our table as we were spooning in the #1 kids food ever in the history of time at a restaurant.

“i don’t think your son’s old enough to understand fashion photography” said an old humbug CV denizen passing by in the park as i was trying to take a photo of my own child for my own enjoyment using a speed light with a modifier on top to combat the harsh sun.

“…[creepily stares at us for 20 minutes without saying word]…” did a complete wierdo with his dog after walking up to the playground and sitting at a bench by himself while we played on the slides. GO ANYWHERE ELSE, LOOK AT YOUR PHONE OR WHATEVER, OR JUST SAY SOMETHING.[/quote]

From another thread:

[quote=zk]

This reminds me of a parable I once heard.

An old fella is sitting on his porch. A guy who’s new to the area is driving by and stops to ask the old guy about the area. “What are the people like here?” The old guy asks in return, “How did you find the people where you came from?” The response is, “I found them to be generous, caring, kind, and fun.” The old guy says, “I think you’ll find them the same way here.” A different guy drives up later and asks the old guy the same question, and the old guy asks him the same question he asked the first guy. The second guy says, “I found them mean, backstabbing, and phony.” The old guy says, “I think you’ll find them the same way here.”[/quote]

Here’s a place where none of your neighbors will be entitled baby boomers, weirdos, hipsters, people with man buns, humbugs, democratic voters, old pricey bitches, or audi-driving fuckfaces:

You’re the only one whose mentioned your “class”. And if it’s not to your taste why are you keeping such close track of theCV RE offerings?[/quote]

I think I just drove by that listing about six weeks ago … even stopped for gas to get a closer look. Gosh, I didn’t realize it was such a big lot! I can’t imagine why its been on the market for 2.3 years and there’s only been $2k in price reductions. Sellers need to get with the program “if they want to move product.”

OP, this one comes with breeding lizards. There are so many of them, you will have a lifetime supply … and then some … now, if you could just figure out how palm your way through a bureaucratic maze to bring utilities in … :=0

that’s so clever. god i admire you.

OP, zk’s listing is VERY convenient to “Primm” where there is a rollercoaster for your kids and all forms of “adult entertainment” available 24/7!

And there is a giant thermometer nearby where ya’ll can pose for pictures in front of it. And all kinds of neat roads to check out around there … just carry plenty of gas and water with you :=0

Just sayin …. you should think about this chance of a lifetime.

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=njtosd][quote=yuhtey]the only positive about mira mesa is that wings n things. mmmm.

i love all the CV folks trying to tell me that, because it’s not to my taste, that i “just can’t afford it” and that it’s above my class. has my point been proven without me saying anything?[/quote]

Just saw this. Bingo![/quote]

Maybe he’s just laughing at himself. Like what kind of bourgeois shit did I get myself into? Some of you take it too seriously.

I understand this, FIH. But if it is truly OP’s spouse that has “roped him into” trying to buy in CV (as flu suggested) and he hates living there and hates the “90’s trac palaces” (apt description) which is the main inventory there, then he needs to address that issue with her ASAP.

If OP is going thru this charade just to placate her and then venting to us, that’s NOT a “good plan.” He’s wasting his agent’s time and sellers’ time (if they’re leaving on short notice so their house can be shown).

I have found that more non-working spouses than working ones (especially those who have never held down a FT job) tend to be VERY unrealistic and delusional when faced with “shopping” for their first home. If this is the case with yuhtey and he and his spouse are not on the same page in regards to something as huge as a home purchase, then he needs to have a “come to Jesus” (CTJ) conversation with his spouse and the sooner the better. JMHO.

BG, I can’t speak for the OP, but it’s not that at all. Nobody is forcing anyone.

Like scarydy said, it’s about obligations, responsibilities, conforming, assimilation and just the way life is.

Sometimes I do look at people too long. My wife and kids usually tell me to stop. It is odd. But people are so interesting. I should speak …[/quote]

I also like people watching. That’s photographers and cameramen do.
Hope I don’t become a weird old man.

I learned the technique is not to make people feel weird. There are ways to look to pay a compliment that they are attractive. Of if you’re parked at the light, you can check out the other person’s nice car. Make them feel good that they made a good purchase. Or in the elevator, hold the door and make small talk. Or at the grocery’s check-out ask how to prepare the food they’re buying.

We never experienced any of the negative issues being discussed in CV with regard to any age group, and really don’t know anyone who has, so maybe it’s all in the eye (or mind) of the beholder, and I really don’t see the need to make rude comments wrt any particular group of people in order to try to prove a point.

People also seem to think LJ is snooty, but my wife and I grew up there, and still have lots of family and friends there, and most of them are the best, most humble people we’ve ever known.

Imo, everyone should make the choices they feel are best for themselves and their family, and let others do the same.

People choose to live their lives in different ways in different places, and I really don’t understand why anyone would care what anyone else does if they are happy with their own lives.

bear girl, i just think the input thus far has been piecemeal and scattered. just… where exactly are you taking me on this journey to south county? what is the end game – are there going to be pit-bulls and mastiffs?

They do, and that’s always been a positive thing for me.
