June 1, 2007 at 1:20 PM #55954ParticipantDataquick Numbers are out for SD. Not very good for SFRs:
Carlsbad -18.3%
Coronado -11.5%
La Jolla -19.2%
Rancho Santa Fe -35.0%
Solana Beach -42.8%Massive declines for Condos almost all across the board.
But I guess this is an aberration, along with all the other higher end areas in Southern California that got WHACKED in April….
Right????
Wait until you see the May numbers…

ParticipantAre those sales volume numbers or median price numbers? Year over year, or month from month?

ParticipantRustico – I am very sympathetic to jg’s point of view. I also live in La Jolla and am pretty uncomfortable with the public school system. La Jolla and Carmel Valley (two of the 3 places I have lived since coming here from NY 8 years ago) have the best schools in SD – but they are sorely lacking in comparison to east coast public schools and private schools.
Each child is different, each parent and home life is different and different things work for different people (apologize for using different so many times…). I have one child in private school (Junior High) and one who is in public (but both have been in both private and public). Schools are financed very differently out here than lets say in NY. I think that the NY system is horrifically unfair but it does create great public schools for the better towns. Carmel Valley and La Jolla schools are some of the best that SD has to offer and I am so underwhelmed.
The second child is pretty bored by public school and is amazed at the lack of civility. The kids curse, are mean to each other, etc. In the public school it is 100% different. The kids are held to the kind of standard that the last 3 pages of this blog envision as the gold standard. My son hadn’t heard a kid cursing the whole time he was in private school (and it is a non-religious school) but witnessed kids cursing at teachers here in LJ.
Don’t get me wrong – I don’t think the school is terrible. But to get him into private school in 7th grade I am going to get a tutor, keep having him excel at home (he has to write a report weekly on a weekly book to earn weekend video games), and otherwise be very involved from a parenting standpoint. He is a smart sensitive kid and I wish that the public school emulated the private schools – but they don’t. Even in the most expensive communities, they are trapped in a system which doesn’t reward excellence and must serve all levels of intelligence, mental problems, family issues, etc. all on a very tiny budget.
p.s. What makes NY so unfair is that a percentage of the property and business taxes are directly given to the school system. In poor areas with no businesses, they have a tiny fraction of the money that rich areas have. This works against societies long term interests… Here in LJ (and CV) the parents dig in and sell, create, fund, etc. but they have the money to add to the schools resources. In other parts of SD they don’t have the economics to support it so it’s pretty much the same around the US. Also you get what you pay for. In NY the taxes on the house we sold in the north county would be around 30K – here they were 20K and only because we bought so recently.

June 1, 2007 at 2:15 PM #55978ParticipantI do think you are being a little hard on the educator. There are lots of bad teachers out there in public school, but there are lots of good ones as well. I think all science teachers are awesome!!! In my public school in NY we had terrible and great english teachers, same in social studies… but the math and science teachers were almost always someone special. Maybe I’m biased because I am a geek – but I think it’s pretty special to try and teach kids math and science.
The problem with education (in my opinion) is that it is not given enough budget or status in our society. Education is the key to EVERYTHING. It eliminates poverty, prejudice, and narrow-minded belief systems. On the other side teaching has awesome people but also burnt out wrecks hanging on to a unionized position. The bad teachers being allowed to teach hurt the profession just as the good teachers make it special. The private schools, while generally paying less money, have complete accountability to the parents paying the tuition. They attract great teachers or they are fired. You can’t do that in the public school system… Our private school pays very, very well and it’s reflected in the tuition. It is elitist in the sense that only a few select children can attend, but the education and environment they are getting is worth every penny. I wish this wasn’t the case.

ParticipantA less myopic view would imply that Carlsbad is likely down about 5-10% on average YOY.
… here’s the rest of the story …
Carlsbad 92008 +8.7% on 19 sales
Carlsbad 92009 -5.7% on 60 sales
Carlsbad 92010 -18.3% on 11 sales
Carlsbad 92011 -4.3% on 24 sales.More cherry-picked sensationalism that would have people think Carlsbad is down 18.3%
(jeeman – Those are YOY median price numbers from specific zip codes)
