Housing won’t hit bottom ’til 2012

[jstoesz]

Probably…hence my leaving I suppose.

Its not that I love the beach, although surfing is fun. Its just that most inland neighborhoods in S. California suck. There are no neighborhoods, as defined by side walks and walkable commerce, inland except for a select few and those have crime issues (la mesa comes to mind). Most areas of SD were built as lame tracks of the 70s up until today. They are devoid of character.

So historically I desire the impossible. Reasonable and affordable prices as compared to…not s. california. So I chose to leave, as many have suggested to me, sdr included (Is it cool to laugh at ones own joke?) MM and the like is not a neighborhood, it is a decrepit version of irvine.

a neighborhood to me has a few defining characteristics. None of these are deal breakers, but a majority is necessary to define what I am looking for.

1) walkable to something (resaurants, gas station, movie theater, grocery store, Yatch club (I kid)).

2. Has a name (la mesa, del mar, shelter island, solana, encinitas, roseville, you know what I mean, tract names don’t count, singing meadows need not apply)

3. has side walks (I guess this buttresses on number 1)

4. Organic (this may be synonymous with custom homes and custom commercial centers but I don’t think it has to be) It just has to come about organically as in no plans.

5. Character (yup I am leaving this undefined, but it probably has to do with #4)

6. History (I want vintage photos)

7. walkable (but I repeat myself)

What do you consider walkable? My house is w/in 20 minutes walk from restaurants (not your fancy & expensive one though), gas station, 2 grocery store.

Solana beach & Encinitas have a few tract homes there too, so I guess I don’t understand what you’re trying to say w/ the name.

Don’t most neighborhood have sidewalk?

I guess I’ll never understand what’s the draw, and vice versa.
