Funny you should ask. I was just at the zoo today. It was packed. Could be that the weather was nice, or that because nearby there was an antique auto show around Balboa…BUT, the zoo had enough people such that if you wanted to take a tram or bus, you had to wait in line for awhile. And the panda line was ridiculously long too.

It could be that there are just a lot of tourists too, so I'm not sure if the Zoo is a great indication. What was more disturbing is the number of people that bought a regular admission ticket and not the membership, considering membership gives you two regular admissions tickets on top of membership, and members get unlimited admissions.

I didn't go to seaworld. Though I have membership there as well, parking is not free (for me at least), and at $8/pop each time, it's really not worth it for me considering my 2 year old can last maybe about 2 hours tops before she wants to go home. I'll just need to wait until more visiting friends want to go.

By the way, I am Alex_Angel

 

Well at least someone is honest about their schizo personality 🙂 hmmm. I wonder.

 

EDIT:

Something just dawned on me, after reading this following comment from TheBreeze to M…

I can tell by your comments that you are a bitter owner who thinks that renting would lower your "status" in society. If you think you might have to change jobs, then why aren't you renting?

I think you are about to learn a brutal lesson in economics. You seem to think that you somehow "deserve" to own a house and you also "deserve" a short commute. Your mentality represents everything that is wrong with society. Society doesn't owe you a house or a short commute. You get the commute and the amount of living space you can afford.

The prospect of changing jobs is one of the reasons I'm a renter. I'd hate to be stuck paying for some depreciating asset if I had to move for another job. It's also easy for me to move closer to work if commuting costs so dictate.

 

Are you sure you are Alex Angel?…. Because if I recall "Alex Angel" doesn't live close to work…. He lives in Carmel Valley and "work" is in downtown from all his postings. If you are Alex Angel, you probably are the last person that should be lecturing someone about the virtues of renting, having a short commute, and saving the environment…..Though I have my suspicions that you're not. "Alex Angel" if I recall also has a family. You, on the other hand, post as if you don't have a family. For example, the shelter reference. You refer to "you" and your buddies, not "your family". Either you don't have a family to take care of, or you don't give a rats ass about them or you're just talking tongue and cheek.

Sorry, I like finding inconsistencies in things.
