It is beginning to feel like 1996

[(former)FormerSanDiegan]

Oh, and as to the original comment as to feeling like 1996. It seems much more like 1993 to me … Going through or optimistically just past the steepest part of the decline in this cycle.

We’ve owned in the La Jolla Country Club area since the 80’s, and picked up rentals in both LJ, Del Mar and CV along the way.

Personally, I think each of these areas are fantastic places to live. Friends and family who live in Del Mar and CV are not La Jolla “wannabes.”

They can afford La Jolla, but they live in those locations because they “want” to live there, and I think that’s true for many people who live in those areas.

If my kids weren’t entrenched in La Jolla schools, I’d move to Del Mar in a heartbeat, and my wife and I plan to in years to come.
I work in Hollywood, so we can live wherever we want.

Del Mar and CV are definitely as “nice” as La Jolla, in their own way. It really is a matter of “to each his/her own.”

Del Mar is Nice. Carmel Valley sucks. It takes longer to get downtown from CV than it does from Poway.

Prices certainly have dropped, and buying has gone from “What, are you nuts?” to “Run the numbers, and look for a great deal”. In a year, once the economy is back on track there’s a good chance the worst of it will be behind us.

Given my pending graduation, I’ll probably be looking to buy in late ’09, once I’ve saved up a bit of a down payment. Should be a nice time to purchase!

Had someone look up IEEE 2008 salary with these specs:

San Diego, PhD, 15 years experience+, senior level 8 (equivalent to GS-15 or Academic Department Head or Dean), communications industry, manages 25 engineers,

basically supersmart engineer at QCOM working 15 years managing entire dept with several patents.

$160-220K (median to 90% percentile)

Of course I wont even mention the $5 Million in stock options for this lady.

So yes, all you bitter engineers should realize that everyone is making $150K except for you lazy ME’s, ASIC designers, etc. Better watch out those genius “engineers” from India with their 6 month Oracle diplomas are gonna take over your job because you people are so lazy and nobody wants to do real work. But I digress.
