ParticipantYes JG I did write that with the understanding that “Cristian” means “christ like” not “religious” …”christ like” as in compassionate. Anyway you are being a good sport with the “Hail Mary” and all…I’ll say the “lords prayer” a couple of times for both of us! Now youv’e got me reverting to my schizmatic days where I was hung up between religion and reality.

ParticipantOpps – sorry all – I have inflamed the religion aspect (I do admit a very strong bias – there are two worlds – the world of people who believe the dogma, and the world of people who consider it fantasy. These worlds will NEVER agree). This is a real estate blog and I will endevor to back off the anti-psalm singing as much as I can! Mea Culpa JG.
Bush is a horrific president – this has nothing to do with Religion. Conservatives do not all embrace religion – they are different topics. I am conservative in some of my beliefs, but am liberal in many. I do believe that the right wing (much of conservatives and Republicans) are ultimately based on greed – pure and simple. People vote their pocketbooks and most unfortunately many vote against their pocketbooks (without realizing it) because of disinformation, fear mongering, and carrots being held out to them. Amazing the vast number of people that vote Republican because of fear of higher taxes, changes in capital gains, more socialism, etc. when they are in the vast bracket which would benefit from them.
I don’t drive a Prius – but would support across the board legislation to clean up the environment both here and abroad. We have clean air rules here in this country – but we buy ALL our stuff from China and allow them to do what they want. Imagine if we required the Chinese to conform to strict environmental standards in order to buy each item they produce. We would have somewhat competitive marketplaces and we would from a business prospective increase business, not decrease it.
Again – FormerSanDiegan – no more religion here from me (unless attacked so everyone – don’t do it!). I’m not sure how much of the tulip story paralleled theBushMeister and if there was any reality – but economics is an amazing discipline – there is so much outside the study which affects the rest.
Anyway – Just completed my move to Bird Rock in La Jolla. I am hopefully gonna stay here a while. I promised my wife that I wouldn’t discuss politics, religion, or falling house prices with the neighbors as I do not want to be shunned by those who will not follow me as the prophet returned!
Now to continue the unpacking…..

Sometimes there is a price to pay for being sensitive, astute and Fearless. Unfortnatley it usually hits the popularity issue.The good news is nobody has been banned from this blog since you have been ohterwise engaged. That is a wonderful testimony to free speech.IMHO.
We have however, picked up a couple of FBI lurkors as the result of a thread on Voting.
Going to take kids to a birthday party soon. Have fun.

June 10, 2007 at 2:31 PM #58258ParticipantHave fun at the party… If the FBI has time to monitor this blog, they have too much time on their hands!
Instead of unpacking I have been playing Halo. Its my way of fighting “the war on terror”TM If I let anyone get the rocket launcher the terrorists win.
Rent vs. Buy – one reason that renting seems to work for me now is that while I am spending some money getting this new house in shape for my needs, I will only spend so much as it isn’t my house. I spend money like a drunken sailor – renting a house definitely holds back my primal urges.
Additionally – while I don’t get any appreciation in the house (moot point because as most of us agree appreciation is out the window for a while) – I also don’t have to spend any money to fix it as it ages.
The rent isn’t cheap but probably am paying 40% of what the mortgage / taxes would cost me.
Back to the unpacking….

ParticipantRustico,
After 1 year I decided to check the San Diego Market again. And as I had mentioned a year ago, the price trends were especially disturbing for San Diego in June of 2007. Many so called “Experts” on this board laughed. I guess they are not laughing now as parts of SD County are off over 50% in less than a year.
I guess “Late Summer 2008” wasn’t such a bad prediction after all. I noticed La Jolla got hit pretty hard last month. I believe that is a great leading indicator on what’s in store for the Westside of Los Angeles. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Brentwood all just starting to feel it.
The coming Alt-A and Prime Mortgage Meltdown will continue to hammer the high-end areas next.
