OT – And I have to agree that firefighters do well. But I still wouldn’t want their job. Whenever there is a fire, I wouldn’t want to risk my life, breathe the smoke and work around the clock. But granted, in Calif, that’s, what, once a year. But they act as paramedics also, no?

I have to say, cops are not doing as well. I know all about how they got screwed w/the pension deal and up until last year, they really didn’t get any kind of raise since like 2000. I don’t blame many of them for leaving to greener pastures.

Incredible magicians behind all this making money disappear from lottery and M.R. and prop tax, which in the past 7 years alone w/development and doubling of house values, is considerable. The new communities have decent streets, new schools, etc, but the rest of San Diego’s infrastructure leaves much to be desired w/potholed streets, breaking water mains, etc.

Mismanagement is an understatement.

Permit me to interject a few observations/empirical data:
1. CA teachers are the highest paid in the US. Yet CA spends slightly less PER STUDENT on education than the median. How does that happen? Huge class sizes.
2. Firefighters are about the most overpaid of all government workers, based attractiveness of the job relative to pay. Applications swamp openings, when there are openings. Also, turnover low. And no, it is not statistically a very dangerous job compared to construction, mining, & many other categories.
3. Mello Roos fees should be largely capitalized into the value of the house, therefore are greatly overrated.
