ABSOLUTELY! AND I bet they even came down!
September 24, 2007 at 9:18 AM #85682luxuryglowParticipantlittle lady,
you grew up and still living in Santee? WOW!…September 24, 2007 at 9:20 AM #85683patientlywaitingParticipantLittle Lady, 20 miles at 65mph is 18.51 minutes. That’s if you never slow down or stop.
25 minutes is generous. Plus you have to nagivate the La Jolla traffic to get to the beach.
Like I said, I go to Santee for business and it’s a good place — generic and very middle class America. Mission Gorge is the kind of main street that you’d find in almost every newer town in America. Nothing wrong with that.
I don’t think the level of college education of the Santee population is very high. Let’s not even talk advance degree. Santee is mostly trade workers, military, et al. White or off-white population that is Republican and anti-immigrant but don’t hesitate to employ the Mexicans on their landscape projects. If that’s what you like, then all the better for you.

Way too strong of Confirmation Bias that this area is great. People are definitely being generous on commute times. It is tainting your ability to constructively argue your points.
Sounds like you are simply going to defend the area to the very death. I think patientlywaiting has captured my image of Santee fairly well.
September 24, 2007 at 9:36 AM #85686farbetParticipantLittle lady Go live in Santee please. Another area where Mission Impossible is Venzano in San Elijio Hills
September 24, 2007 at 10:58 AM #85697losgatos200ParticipantSantee is a dump, loaded up with a lot of illegals and migrant bums with a generous srinking of white trash. Kids are mostly out of control and obnoxious.
I wouldn’t live there if the house came free.

September 24, 2007 at 2:30 PM #85722little ladyParticipantI could care less if you like it, but FACTS ARE FACTS.
You keep making false statements about things you know obviously nothing about.
I put out the data, but apparently you can not understand it.
Never come here, it would make my life a lot easier. However, commenting on traffic,crime, commute times, schools, levels of income and education, when you are to ignorant to get that facts makes you look ridiculous.
By the way, to whomever it was that was misguided enough to mention that I was trying to make people believe it was a great place to live,
TO ME IT IS, I don’t care what dumpy neighborhood’s you all hail from. But that facts are we have good schools, low crime,and nice family neighborhoods. At better prices than the coastal areas.
By the way, you aren’t catching any folks out here bashing the coastal areas, with its shitty schools, massive traffic problems, gangs, crime, graffiti, bums and neighborhoods where your kids can’t even play outside.
Read the demographics, if you can……

“Little lady Go live in Santee please”
What planet are you on? I said I live there.

I could care less what you think. I am correcting the inacurate comments. I agree with her discription as well, to me it seems better though. I have a problem with people claiming things that are incorrect. Like the school test scores being low for one. It’s not true. Do I want more people to come? No.
I disagree to her, you and others about the commute time. We have traffic, but to the majority of San Diego it has relatively short commutes. When there is traffic congestion, which is FAR worse in most other parts of the county, especially coastal.
Go pic on Mira Mesa, look how many people live in that hell hole!
September 24, 2007 at 2:43 PM #85727AnonymousGuestAllright, enoough Santee bashing. Although I personally woudn’t choose to buy a house in Santee, I agree with littlelady that it certainly isn’t the worst place to live. Given the choice, I might also choose it over Mira Mesa.
The main problem is with the cost of new houses in Santee. Santee is historically a relatively lower income, lower housing cost part of town. Right or wrong this stigma is not going away. For that reason overpaying for a house there is an unwise investment.
However, Santee is nothing compared to ChulaJuana. If you want to talk about historically stimatized areas with overpriced tract homes, ChulaJuana takes the cake, especially Otay area. Also the commute from Santee to SD is nothing compared to Otay/Eastlake.
September 24, 2007 at 2:47 PM #85728WickedheartParticipantFor someone who could care less you’re getting awful riled up about it.
September 24, 2007 at 2:52 PM #85729waitingpatientlyParticipantSince when is the 70th percentile “very good to very high”?
September 24, 2007 at 4:38 PM #85740CritterParticipantThe (little) lady doth protest too much.
September 24, 2007 at 5:19 PM #85745RaybyrnesParticipantYou say facts are facts. How do you make the claim of 20 miles in 10 minutes and purport that to be a fact. I don’t know about you but the average person does not drive 120 mph.
I wasn’t negative or disparaging of the area. I thought one of the other posters was fairly on track with the description of it being a fairly middle class blue collar area.
I think the biggest thing that people are calling you out on is a longer commute than the 10 minutes.
Additionally don’t through around comments like facts are facts adn then try to say that is my opinion. Yor are contradicting yourself.
September 24, 2007 at 5:22 PM #85746losgatos200ParticipantMaybe you would like to live next door to a house with
4 Mexican families living in one unit with 13 noisy kids and
6 junk cars around all the time.Think this would be a good investment, too ?
