ParticipantYes once more you are wrong spd…
If you read all my posts of the past I called the downturn correctly and called the recovery correctly. I also called out how the govt would prevent any sort of tsunami. So once again, you are incorrect about me.
Let’s see you find any of my posts that have been incorrect about the direction of san diego real estate. Go ahead, you can go back to 2006 to start ok?
You can conveniently keep telling us that no matter what direction any market goes anywhere on the planet, it will ultimately be good for you, we all already know that. You always make it a point to let us know.

February 19, 2013 at 10:11 AM #759772ParticipantShoveler that is a good point about the contractors. If anything that is where there may be some effect. However at this point inventory is so darned constrained it is really a tough nut to crack. Now we see large reductions at Titan, Viasat, Hughes, SPAWAR then we may see some hikes in inventory. However I think that they will be short lived. The result may be a slowdown in the slope of the price movements however because of how they would be staggered over time I just don’t see a substantial change in the way things go. Like you said, we will see how it goes however I don’t see this touching places like 4S Ranch in the least.

ParticipantSDR –
* If NYC and DC would rise long-term, it would be good for me.
* If NJ (as it is) and SD (as it isn’t) decline, and DC declines short-term, it would be good for me. Can’t predict anything, but here’s hoping nonetheless! Personally, Europe screwing up some more COMBINED with a sequester would be pretty much the ideal short-term scenario for me.(Not to mention that I’m going to Italy for a few weeks this summer, so a cheap Euro would be nice.)

Participant[quote=SD Realtor]It will not wreak havoc on re prices.
sk um… aren’t you the one who always points out how much of the budget is spent on military?[/quote]
Yeah, I am. But I’m also an economist. So I understand the effects of sudden and drastic cuts to government spending. The US has never avoided a recession in the past when total government spending (fed and states) has been cut as it has been the last 3 years. Somehow we’re managing now, but further cuts won’t increase the likelihood of further recovery, and the cuts required by the sequester is likely to push the economy into another recession. There’s a time and place for everything.
February 19, 2013 at 10:22 AM #759775ParticipantHere’s hoping for a short-term recession/unravelment! Chaos breeds opportunity.
(And we survived similar things in summer 2010, summer-fall 2011 quite well — created more fear than actual danger.)

The longtime workers of these contractors mostly live and own their homes nearby. I think this group likely has their homes paid off or are close to paying them off. If “cutbacks” cause some of them to “retire” early, they will do so and just call it a day. Most likely won’t be picking up and selling as their current property taxes are very low.
That’s the way its always been in SD.
February 19, 2013 at 10:44 AM #759779ParticipantSK I agree with the point you are making however this is not as much a draconian cut as you are making it out to be. I think we all get stuck on semantics a bit to much as well. We are told how low inflation is yet prices for food, fuel and water have been moving higher for several consecutive years and not in a trivial manner. We are told unemployment is at 11%, 8%, 9%… in the aggregate we all know it all still sucks out there and is very challenging. When you and I debated Obamacare in 09 my big peeve was not that we needed reform but that we needed much more time to come up with a program. You agreed but said we needed to pass what we have now because we would never get the political climate to ever pass anything. I feel we are in the same spot now, we will never get the political climate to pass any sort of spending reductions. So just do it now, regardless of the consequences. We will get through it.
February 19, 2013 at 10:46 AM #759781ParticipantYep, would have been cheaper to extend Medicare to middle-income folk and/or go single-payer. But Congress and Obama chose to suck the schweens of the private insurance companies and come up with a mongrel hybrid.

ParticipantWe are seeing a lot of scary claims about how much the sequester will hurt. But just how big is it in our overall federal budget?
It is $85 billion in a budget of $2.5 trillion. That puts it at about three percent of our federal spending.
Since our federal spending has exploded in the past four years, it should be easy to find the low hanging fruit and trim the fat. Instead, we will hear sob stories of cuts that hurt real people and valued programs. Instead of cutting waste, they will create real victims to pull at our heartstrings. And this strategy will probably work–it already is working with many people here.February 19, 2013 at 11:05 AM #759789ParticipantYou make some good coin like that you can really snub CV by moving out of it and renting your CV home out! (passing u the pipe)
February 19, 2013 at 11:07 AM #759791ParticipantWell Econ fear worked for iraq war. fear worked for the bailouts and all the qe’s. If the govt says it will happen, it must be so!!! I guess on March 1 we add 2 million to the unemployment roll.
