Property tax question

Fatso, you got the wrong person. I am as happy as can be. I don’t wish suffering for others. It is very bad karma.

Nice to see you back lostkitty.

I’d say that it’s extremely study not to pay taxes. With penalties and interest, it’s extremely difficult to invest the money have have better return.

Plus you get a tax lien that that might adversely affect your credit, you might have difficulty refinancing also. A title search will show that.

If people buy million dollar houses in Coronado and skip paying their property taxes, then I’d say that they are in financial trouble.

A while back I had conversation with a friend who is a sociology professor. Happiness doesn’t happen in a vacuum but in relation to others. Like politics, it’s mostly local. We compare ourselves to our friends, family and neighbor and not to people in Africa who have nothing.

There’ve been many studies on this matter. Today, as a society, we’re not any happier than our grandparents although we have more.

The Buddhists would say that if you are happy and content despite others, then you’ve achieved a certain degree of enlightenment on you way to Nirvana.

I agree, parent involvement is the best education a child can have.

In my view, the best private school in San Diego is the French-American School in La Jolla.

Of course you don’t have to confirm or deny but I would pick you for a Unitarian Universalist. I have attended many meetings and even volunteered my assistance for a few small projects but couldn’t get myself to “join”. That would be my choice if I were to affliate myself & family with a congregation. We could take JG!
best regards

Lostkitty, the tax default process is painfully slow in California. Different states have different laws. In fact there are a few states left where you can get a very nice return on purchasing tax liens.

That said, some lenders will put clauses in the loan documents that will put a home into notice of default if the property taxes are not paid in a timely manner because they will always be subordinate to the tax man.

Fatty Boom-boom, You wrote: “Make the decisions and get on with the things that make your family’s life better.” Well no duh… that is exactly what I’ve done.

Moving across country and starting over is not the easiest thing to do, especially for a dedicated CA girl with family all in SolBeach, DelMar and Coronado, but it was the RIGHT thing to do for my kids, for our financial future. I did not like listening to all the know-it-all “investors” telling me I’d regret it and that they’d see me “next year” when I moved back to CA after making such a horrible mistake.

I love it here now, the public schools where I live are absolutely amazing. There is no comparison with CA public schools, even in the best neighborhoods. The great things that are happening for my kids would never have happened out there (academically, musically). But, I acknowledge that I have the best of both worlds since I get to spend my summers on the beach in DMar. (although Lake George and Biddeford Pool have their summer charms….) maybe I wouldnt like it so much if I was really cut off from CA completely.

I come to pigginton to watch the show unfold, but mostly to wait and understand when is the best time to buy a vacation place (which we can do because we made a good decision to move someplace cheaper and actually build a SAVINGS ACCOUNT).

Thanks SD Realtor, I was wondering why so many just dont pay. Do you know if it is sometimes a banking/investing thing, like mentioned above, or is that just another one of those fake excuses people use to explain why they havent paid their taxes!
We lived in rancho santa Fe when I was little, and there were plenty of deadbeats out there with lots of excuses about why they didnt pay this or that. The ‘facade’ of wealth (vs. real wealth) is what gets me about San Diego. It has always been there, but it seems to keep getting worse and worse.

Lost Kitty don’t know why they don’t pay…I am one of those anal types who has to make sure everything is paid the second I receive the bill…
