[quote=XBoxBoy][quote=flu]I like Carmel Valley haters. I wish there was more of them, so more people would GTFO so I could buy a bigger place at a more reasonable price.[/quote]

Can we get some La Jolla haters too!

Great post Flu![/quote]

and herein lies the real issue. CV is not LJ, yet the ‘tude of the residents would have you thinking it is.

oh yeah, i must have a place where my neighbors drive BMW’s LOL. what a fucking joke.

Do you want to vent your opinions or actually get info? My sense is that you are frustrated that you can’t get what you want where you want it.[/quote]

I’m not surprised that you don’t want to live in a house with a back yard that faces on a busy road (that will probably get busier in the future). Maybe you’re confused, but no one ever said that CV is utopia. It’s got great educational opportunities (CCA ranks #89 in US News and WR ranking), relatively close to the beach and pretty convenient commute-wise. But there are lots of unappealing houses; these tend to have lower prices. As I said earlier, I think you are frustrated at what your budget can’t buy.

Shucks. One less Joneses down the street that will be moving in, HELOCing their home to death to buy useless bling, only to have to sell short later to the Wongs, Kwons, and Yamamoto’s who end up buying it with cash.

You and spdrun should get together. You guys I am sure would get along just fine. You can probably give him advice on how to find a wife too, since I think you mentioned you have one.

oh yeah, i’m so frustrated. i can’t afford a home here. boo hoo. looks like CV is too good for me. WAAAAA WAAAA.

[quote=yuhtey][quote=flyer]Classic flu. lol.

Having resided in CV, I can understand how some who have not lived there might have the impression that CV residents might be unapproachable, but we never found that to be the case.

shhh. here’s a secret. i live in CV.

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]

First of all, this just seems like an odd group of examples. What is the thesis of this three paragraph essay? Weirdos live in CV? Yup. They live everywhere.

Phew… For a minute there I was worried you were going to complain about us generation X douchebaggery that enjoy pissing people off.

Flu will be pleased. One less potential CV buyer. And just for the record – the average CV home price is about $950k. You just can’t take being average – you need a gorgeous place on a huge lot. Boo hoo..

Sigh. See what I mean about “new money”? Just goes to show, you can have a lot of money but not necessarily a lot of old money class 🙂

Well got to go hope in my bimmer SUV, need to go pick up my latte from starbucks, drop off the monthly check for the violin teacher and swim teacher and art teacher and dance teacher, before I head on over to Bay Club, where I’ll pretend to work out with everyone else there also looking pretty swanky. And then maybe when I am done, I’ll show up at work around 10am.

no – all of this commentary is towards the boomers. we think they are fussed about my wife being asian and our kids being halfsies.

Why don’t you consider viewing this listing?

[/quote]

is that… el cajon? gee i’m not sure i’d fit in there, i don’t hang fake testicles from the back of my pickup. do you think they’d embrace me, even still?[/quote]

Uhh, yuhtey, I think you’re getting this area mixed up with Santee … or Temecula. Folks around 92019 typically drive luxury cars and SUVs. Yes, it has an EC zip code, but it’s actually County. Very “upscale” with room to roam and excellent public schools!

I was only trying to help. That home was on ONE FLAT ACRE with a VIEW and basically needed just landscaping. I haven’t checked the current sold comps around there but I feel it will likely go for the mid-high $800’s. You don’t even have to install the landscaping yourself. There are plenty of reasonable peeps around there who can not only install it for you, but come back 2-4 times per month to maintain it for you. Ask the neighbors. They will most certainly know. They’ve all got someone. If you’re “real” with them and not putting on airs or cracking El Cajon jokes, they just might “embrace you” and try to help you.

You can’t have it both ways, dude. Will it be red … or blue for you? Do you actually believe the north coastal area is mostly red? Is it?? What size lot do you think you will get up there? 6K? 7K? For ~$1M?? Didn’t you state that you didn’t want to view anymore “cardboard” or “particle board” tract homes? If that’s the case, then why would you look in north county coast in your price range?? Ha, ha … do you actually think you’re going to snag a “custom home” along the SD North County Coast with “authentic” finishes in your price range?? And, oh, I forgot. You don’t want a “small” home, either. Oh, and some north county coastal cities WILL be more than 19 miles from your job making your daily commute a clusterfuck on the ONE aging and narrow freeway they have going for them. We have a fitting expression for it on this forum. It’s called “gridlocked Nirvana.”

GOOD LUCK to you, yuhtey and I hope you’re not driving your agent mad. You need him/her more then they need you, lol ….[/quote]

those SUV’s better be german made, down there in chula mesa cajon. can you guarantee that?

if i don’t drive my agent mad, then what is the whole point? what is life?

Yeah, but if you think Carmel valley is expensive, you definitely wont be able to afford la jolla. At least not if you want to live in a reasonable sfh. Sounds to me you are in what I call: Poor rich….

You are too snooty and think you are too good for solid middle class neighborhoods with good construction but less than optimal location. So you want to be in a premium location with a premium house because you think you are rich and should be able to afford it, when in reality current housing market conditions doesn’t allow you afford the house you feel you should be able to buy because perhaps your wallet doesn’t go as far as you think it goes.

Hence your predicament of not being able to buy a house. Reality hasn’t set in, that given the current market conditions, you aren’t going to be able to find a house that meets your high standards in a premium location with your wallet size.

The funny part is you call others snotty. Lol…

Enjoy renting. And good luck with your home search. It will be a long and painful one for you I am afraid.
