Mira Mesa – 7510 Bannister Ln – 10%+ loss in less than one year

[sdrealtor]

Sorry but deplorable is holding oneself out as having any knowledge whatsoever about a place once visited 13 years ago to buy a used car.

BTW, you must have loved it also because that is your MO

Error 1.[/quote]

LOL, svelte, I think you need to put on your glasses and look at an aerial map …

The image is that of a lower-class Hispanic community with a culture of Tijuana.[/quote]

Not only is your remark about Chula Vista factually false, it is racist. [/quote]

It is factually true – that is the image of CV.[/quote]

Read what you just wrote, svelte … “That is the image…” If you don’t mind my asking, specifically which area of Chula Vista did you live in? With a population of 273K and 5 zip codes, this is a material question …

[quote=svelte]In addition, it is not a racist statement to imply that lower-class Hispanics live in CV. That’s absurd.

Errors 2 and 3.[/quote]

Good l@rd, svelte …

Okay, if you think it’s not racist, I’ll “imply” that “lower class Hispanics” as well as “lower class [multiple races]” live in SM and throughout “Nirvana” and the bulk of inland North County, lol. Just try to refute that!

Is there any zip code in this county which does not have “lower class” residents living there? 92067, maybe?? How about all those “lower class” adult children with their children (grandchildren) rooming in mom and/or dad’s back bedroom in 92067 because they’ve never really been able to get their own sh!t together?? Are they “lower class” by virtue of what they themselves accomplished or did not accomplish or do they retain their “upper” or “upper-middle” class status by virtue of their parent’s status?

Unbelievable!

[quote=svelte][quote=bearishgurl]Also, weren’t you the one who kept saying that San Marcos streets were not up to normal code ordinances, poorly maintained, etc?[/quote]I never stated that SM sts weren’t up to “code ordinances.” I stated the zoning was not there to begin with.[/quote]

Settle down, svelte. I never stated I was an expert on SM. I stated that the dtn area was obviously poorly zoned at the time, based on my observations. This was the case with several areas of the county and still is to some extent. I don’t know what kind (if any) improvements San Marcos has made to its infrastructure and zoning since then.

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=svelte]Actually, svelte, the last time I was in SM (dtn area) was ’99, when I looked at a couple of private-party vehicles from the Auto Trader. One vehicle was located on a street where houses and industrial type warehouses were mixed and some houses also backed into industrial shops/wrhses. Another was on a street which was still a partial dirt road with a dirt driveway.[/quote]This is what irks me the most. You visit a city once 13 years ago (!!!) and you think you’re the expert on the state of their street construction. You must have been looking at some pretty shitty cars, cuz they were definitely not parked on even average SM streets.[/quote]

Actually, both vehicles I went to see were garaged. I was looking at luxury cars at the time and there happened to be a ’94 *rare* “Anniversary Edition” I wanted to see up there with very low miles on it. I wanted to buy it, but it was a weekend and someone else already had the cash on them and beat me to it after I left.

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=svelte]At that time, the area where you live (SEH)…[/quote]WTF??? I *do not* live in SEH!! Error 5.[/quote]

I’m very glad to hear that, svelte. Seriously. I remember you congratulating another Pigg (evolusd?) awhile back who recently purchased in SEH. My bad. I thought you told him you would be his neighbor. Upon further research, I now see you are advising him on multiple tracts in SM.

http://piggington.com/arbor_ranch_in_san_marcos_advice_please

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=svelte](SEH) was still mostly open space adjacent to a large county landfill that was closed in part because the *new* multimillion-dollar recycling plant it was converted to ended up costing more to run than any potential revenues would generate, lol. After nearly ten years of litigation to expand it …[/quote]What in the world does a failed plan to open a recycling plant have to do with *anything* we were discussing?

Absolutely absurd![/quote]

Not absurd. You pointed out that CV was too expensive for you for what you wanted but you could afford a comparable SFR in SM instead. Hello??? The “closed landfill” is the main reason comparable homes in CV and other SD County cities and communities are more expensive than SM. Obviously, you didn’t look at the map to see several tracts abutting the closed landfill. Hey, put on your glasses and click on it to enlarge it!

Let me ask you, svelte … would YOU live on one of those streets overlooking the covered-over landfill which was used for 14+ years? How about about one or two streets away??

For the record, I have nothing against SM, per se. But given the choice, I would opt to live in a community that does not have environmental issues, i.e. potential radon exposure, tainted soil, tainted groundwater, excessive HP lines. But that’s just me.

Shouldn’t you be getting up and starting to recycle all those empty vino bottles by now and call it a day? You don’t want to take 37+ minutes falling down the stairs again to your home office at 9:46 tomorrow morning, now do you?

An absolute classic. I havent read one of BG’s posts in months but the quoted passage from one fo them is just astounding. Commenting on a community visited 13 years ago to buy a used car from Autotrader and claiming some level of knowledge about that place. Who does that? That is mental illness. Nothing more…nothing less.[/quote]

Truly …. I’m flattered! I thought he was “ignoring” me.

Did he fall off the wagon???

San Marcos is actually quite the up-and-comer city. It is well planned, the city has been extremely fiscally responsible, and the schools all have improved quite significantly over the last few years. There are already several new and attractive shopping areas. The city is finally breaking grounds on a long planned downtown area after clearing out a huge previously low income Latino area. of course the gradually growing CSUSM and the growing Kaiser hub there all will make it the center of north county.

I would say if looking at a place to invest in the north county, it would probably offer the most bang for your buck and higher chance of appreciation.

I agree, ocrenter. SMHS beat school(s) in “Nirvana” on their CAHSEEs, IIRC. And CSUSM and the “Kaiser hub” were not there in ’99.

I’ve seen photos of the SEH “village” and it reminds me of the village at Otay Ranch (slightly different architecture but same concept) along E. Palomar St. in Chula Vista.

Not sure about investment potential but if the County can unload that landfill site on a “green” enterprise who will have the technology to mitigate the radon exposure, I think the stigma (and hazards) could potentially disappear. Time will tell.

BG, you’re 100% wrong on this one. Let me help you out: http://g.co/maps/u4n9v. Do you see the map marker “A”? That’s the house. Do you see the backyard backing up to MM Blvd?

I agree it is unnecessary. She doesn’t need any help humiliating herself in this thread.

Good point! There are plenty of posters to reign her in as well. Nice job piggies!

Uh, ok. Yes they do have an old landfill next to SEH. I doubt the concern you are raising is causing much stigma for SM. how many potential SM buyers are turned off by the stigma of an old landfill and the fear of radon exposure? Any idea, sdrealtor?

Actually, I did just that.

**when I lived in chula vista!!!!**

yes, I lived just a couple of blocks from the old dump there! And it didn’t bother me at all. Not in the least. Nor did it bother the person who bought when we sold.

And if property values are hurt by a former dump in San Marcos, don’t you think they are hurt equally bad by an old dump in CV?

Not to mention the auto parts yards and the prison on the southern edge of Chula Vista. Which I wasn’t going to mention except for your insistence at trying to beat SM up for having a former landfill on the southern edge of town.

How many times are you going to back yourself into a corner?

you’re not getting it. He said that was the impression. It is the impression.

I don’t happen to agree with that impression of CV, but it doesn’t change the FACT that people think CV is full of lower class hispanics. I think it has to do with 5 and the trolley running through the older part of down, where the housing is more run down and there are indeed a lower class of people, including many hispanics.

If 5 and the trolley ran through the east part of town, I think the impression would be a little different.

Not to mention that CV is sandwiched between San Ysidro and National City, both areas with significantly lower incomes and all the effects that follow that.

Again, not racist. He is just letting you know what the impression is. And again, I think it is unfair that CV gets lumped in with San Ysidro and National City. But it does and I can’t change that.

No. Another case where you are not fully grasping the situation.

It may be that the only reason he saw your comments was because I quoted you in my post. Even if you are on his “ignore user” list (and you just might be!), he would be able to see what you said in my posts where I quote you.

Children children children… let’s talk about this property, shall we? The piggington weekly report #3 is already out. I don’t want to have to update it, please!!!! Save it for issue #4 next week…It’s really hard for me to find content, and if you put all your time and energy into something I already wrote about, it will be really difficult for me next week!

Side note… Can we all agree and clarify from now on in posts that if we use “CV”, it means Carmel Valley, not Chula Vista… For Chula Vista, let’s use “cv”. Thanks for the compliance 🙂

Actually, no. It has always bugged me that piggs assume CV means Carmel Valley.

It should be context dependent. In this case, we are talking about Chula Vista, so it stands for Chula Vista.

You are able to tell the difference between when CA stands for California and when it stands for Canada, aren’t you?
