[quote=svelte]Most of the props are going my way
except
14 Medical Bonds (I voted no)
15 Prop Tax Chg (I voted yes)
22 Uber (I voted no)
24 Consumer Privacy (I voted no)

And to tell you the truth, I didn’t care about any of those all that much so I’m fine with it.[/quote]

14 and 15 results are not final yet.

[quote=svelte][quote=Coronita]
But more importantly, I voted no for almost every single proposition. Especially Prop 16…..[/quote]

I did the same thing. Actually I’ve done so the last few elections…no, no, no, no, no…

Usually one or two yeses but almost all no.

And I voted no on 16 also.[/quote]

My default response is always no too.

Scaredy, you can come back down from the hills.

America and the American people won.

I’m staying in SD in the east village in a free, totally hipster tiny apartment for three months my wife got through work. I now realize that maybe I should be living in the east village and not in trumpy temecula. Any reason not to impulsively buy a small 400k condo in this incredibly hip area, other than the superabundance of homeless people and dogs peeing and pooping everywhere? I love it here!

i think im an old person ready to downsize.

My primary concern is that they appear to be building a highrise on every single block. Are there enough people to actually fill all these buildings? indeed, does anyone actually live here? the streets seem relatviely empty.

Is everyone just hunkered down? I never want to go back to temecula. I want a tiny condo!

I unregistered as a republican last night, after maybe being registered as such for a decade or more. I forget.

I guess I’m a refugee now, lol …

Sick of too many people not doing the right thing.

Welcome back Scaredy…I’ve been thinking about you every few days.

As I’m sure you’ve seen Trump tried his best to burn the place down on his way out the door. Jan 6, 2021 will be in textbooks for decades to come. Those photos of hundreds of troops laying on the floor the the US Capitol are really something.

This is all such an amazing thing to watch and while it embarrasses me that our country is going through this, it shows that the foundation is still rock solid. Our system works. All three branches of government work. It took four years to spit out a defective part of the executive branch, but the defective part was indeed spit out.

The capitol riots cheered me up. We are a nation founded on genocide and slavery, and in general we’ve always been an undemocratic, militaristic, war-mongering, nation of aggressive dudes ready to mess up other countries for our own personal gain. It’s who we are. It’s our brand.

Now, it seems, we are the same, except the anger is directed inward. This is interesting. The enemy is us. Instead of screwing with guatemala’s elections or some CIA coup outside our borders, we seem to be doing to ourselves what we have been doing to the world for a century. Destabilizing ourselves as an inside job.

Its therapeutic for the world for us to bring our aggressive idiocy home where we can deal with it without screwing up other nations.

Also, really, I was a bit jealous of the capitol rioters. So much community spirit amongst them, which I do not feel in my own life. So much purpose! and they seemed to be having such an awesome time. It looks like maybe one of the best days of their lives, and for most, with small penalties to pay, probably on the whole worth it. What am I? Some dumb liberal wuss who hates gun and is afraid of everything. I want to walk into the Nation’s capitol like I own it, maybe take a piss on Mitch Mcconnell’s desk. Man that would’ve felt good. But no, I can’t because I am a reaosnable antifa type person who is concerned about other humans points of views. What a dope.

I do not agree that everything is OK. Everything is just as it was. unstanble. Chaotic. Primed for possible improvement, or decline.

Overall–thrilling. I give jan 2021 5 stars.

Now, about the SD condo market….should I wait?

[sdrealtor]

Wait IMO. Massive inventory added down there the last 20 years and more coming plus exodus away from density should work to your favor if you still want to in a few years. Either way no hurry and not subject to the madness I see up by me

ok. does seem to be a lot of inventory even in the super nice building we are in. near island and 11th.

I was overcome by an urge to start a completely new life, at a low interest rate, but that is not just a matter of buying a condo.

Also, yardwork is wearing me down.

Maybe in a few years. It all seems so small and manageable. a little tiny place. this desire seems so utterly predictable, cliche, embarrassingly so.

I definitely want a 100 sq ft plus patio.though and I’ll be set… i can sleep out there.

what is reaosnable per square foot ona high end sd condo in your opinion, sdrealtor? Any idea what the building cost is on these massive structures per square foot?

Scaredy, i lived in the Discovery Cortez Hill building and loved it.

Some positive points: easy access to the 163, quiet area with minimal vagrants, large rooftop pool (for a condo tower), traditional doorman, hill location means good views on the lower floors.

Main downside is that Cortez Hill is almost all residential and walking to downtown itself is a non-flat mile long walk.

My patio was about 20×30 feet!

No reason you have to buy now. Get a 2-3 month airbnb here in ocean beach and see if you like it better. In many ways we are more walkable: short blocks, slow moving traffic, businesses spread out more. Hillcrest and PB are similar. As I recall, Hillcrest is the most dem neighborhood in San Diego, about 92-8 Hillary over Trump.

[scaredyclassic]

discovery cortez looks awesome. walk to little italy, farmers market, balboa park right there….the HOA seems high. 730? is there a risk of large special assessments in places like this.

is everything up to the inside of the house covered by that?

It’s all even walkable to the airport, which attracts me. i can just take a short hike with a backpack.

are these homeless people going to be here forever or is there some sort of giuliani like nyc 90s plan to clean up the city?

i guess we could have two residences….
