ParticipantLa Mesa is absolutely boomer heaven! My bouts of vertigo won’t let me live on those narrow roads up high on Mt Helix, but LM village and the location of ltsdd’s listing on the other side of the mtn (bordering Rancho SD) are just perfect. I’ve driven all thru that area many times and I really like it!
I would have to get used to A/C, though. When I stayed in relatives’ homes in “flyover country” in the summer, I found that I don’t care for the smell of A/C inside a home. Some systems are better than others.
ltsdd, are you considering buying a home in La Mesa?

I would absolutely would consider buying in LM as soon as I could figure out what high-tech companies is out there. In the mean-time I’ll work on getting a 4×4 truck and the chewing and spitting tobacco thing down pat. Once I get that down I should fit right in in la mesa.

ParticipantWouldn’t that be more like El Cajon or Lakeside? 🙂

LOL … Alcatraz has an even better view. You could get a job there as a museum docent and hob-nob with tourists from all over the world five days per week, spdrun! Job includes unlimited free ferry rides to/from SF![/quote]
Why go anywhere far? La Mesa is a perfect place for you. It even has a state prison that has called La Mesa home for the last 30 years or so.

Well, your English is getting there. However, if you were planning on spitting tobacco on a LM street corner, I think you’ll quickly find that you’re in the wrong town. You must be confusing LM with Lakeside … or Flinn Springs. If you’re going to hone those skills, you’d best buy an RV instead of a 4×4 and find a place to park it and property “skirt” it out a little further east with your “brethren.” You can always take the 52 into work. After all, it’s just over ten minutes from Santee and Lakeside/FS is just another hop and a skip. No sweat!
May 4, 2015 at 9:13 PM #785832ParticipantGet a room, you two!
May 4, 2015 at 9:15 PM #785833ParticipantThe folks that run LM don’t put up with a lot of crap. And they ALL have a LOT of time on their hands. They run a mini-regime on a tight ship.

Yikes, where did that come from …. eew …

I didn’t realize English is the primary language that they speak out there.

CoronitaParticipantIf this was a thread about cars, it would be about how some folks would call a Ferrari a piece of shit because it has a $200k price tag and surprising it doesn’t have a “higher quality” 4 cylinder engine from a 1989 Toyota Camry…
ltsdd.
Thank you for stepping up and allowing me to pass the olympic torch to you.
I’m going to get my nice bag of popcorn and just watch it from the sideline.
May the force be with you….

interesting…I am just throwing random stuff out there. Doesn’t take much to get a response.
I think Rich should buy you, BG and masayako a beer or two. I think you guys have single handedly generated more posts during the last fews days than the entire forum has for the whole year.

I admit I don’t know much about la mesa. It could be la mesa in tijuana since I hear that spanish is widely used.
May 4, 2015 at 9:52 PM #785841Participant[quote=flyer][quote=ltsdd][quote=flyer]Nice homes, but everyone I know who’s looking at around $2M+ wants to stay west of I-15. I feel the same, but those are just personal preferences, nothing more.[/quote]
You mean like one of these?
So overrated. The smart money is buy east of the 15 along the 8 freeway.[/quote]
We all have different preferences. We bought/built in RSF 20+ years ago, and some friends in our area who are downsizing (kids are gone) are pocketing a bundle and moving to smaller homes in locations (some multiple–San Diego and elsewhere) they prefer. To each his/her own.[/quote]
Flyer,
I was just messing with you – in case you didn’t detect the sarcasm in my post. cheers. -
