Well, then, I guess that’s where you and I sort of differ.
You see, though one could say I probably had a silver spoon. I never feel I “need” any fancy smancy material good that only 1% can obtain in order to feel good about myself… I feel good about myself already knowing pretty much I’d I wanted something, I could probably have it. Nor do I feel a need I have something that 99% of the rest of us cannot obtain.
That’s why despite I could have a McClaren, I still drive a POS Miata and Audi with peeling paint.
Because like Escoguy who drives an Uber without people knowing who he really is, likewise , I enjoy keeping a low key so then I know people who I’m friends with really are my friends and not just someone kissing my ass because they need something… Also, my friends also tend to not play these rich people’s version of “who has the bigger dick” game…because, what’s the point of having the biggest dick, if they people playing this game are so old the only way to keep it from being limp is Viagra???

At least you don’t deal w/ extreme heat and lots of walls in your houseMay 31, 2022 at 2:33 PM #825799CoronitaParticipant[quote=an]
At least you don’t deal w/ extreme heat and lots of walls in your house[/quote]My feedback says I deal with extreme heat very well … but the walls apparently don’t have very good sound insulation… Damn cheap Carmel valley houses. Oh well, my neighbors problem, not mine.
But it does raise an interesting point that money cant buy everything…for example, if you’re in a remote place like RSF with no neighbor nearby. It’s like the old riddle. If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around, does it make a sound?
May 31, 2022 at 2:46 PM #825800ParticipantI mentioned a tiny portion of the specifics of our family’s financial lives as it relates to the discussion we were having, as others have, and keep the rest private.
For me, the motivating factor in all acquisitions, is creating lives we love for our family and extended family now, and what we can pass on to our kids. For me, that’s what makes it all worthwhile.
Ultimately, some of us will die young, and some will live to be old with and without health issues. Thankfully, at 60, I’m fine so far, but since all life on earth is temporary, I’m not worried either way.

Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=Escoguy][quote=Coronita]Living in the city sucks. I don’t know why my sibling insists in staying in SF and not moving to the burbs. They are paying an arm an a leg for something slightly smaller than my old house in Pac. Heights and then on top of that has to send both their kids to private schools because most public schools suck in the city. The amount they spend on private K-12 will be on the order of how much people would be spending sending them to a private college on the east coast.
I guess it could be worse. At least they don’t live in NYC anymore. What an armpit.Makes no sense.[/quote]
Was out ubering a few days ago, picked up a SF transplant, he and his spouse paid $5700/month in San Francisco for $700 sf, now live in Santaluz, probably a $2.5M house.
As he has roots here and has been back two years, he was bemoaning all the other Bay Area people coming in. Apparently, there is still a wave incoming as prices are still so much higher and they come see SD, and never want to go back.[/quote]
I have to admit, escoguy….
It is so fvcking awesome you Uber drive…. Most of the people who you pick up don’t even know how well off you are.I swear, you should consider doing a “Cash Cab” like game show.
Can I trade free DIY auto repair/service with free rides to the airport?? :)[/quote]
My wife thinks I’m crazy to Uber in a Model S, but passengers do get kicks out of it.
A dad took a selfie with his son in front of the car Sunday, they were so excited.
Another guy did a video call with his son in Cozumel to show the car.One can learn a lot from passengers, they share so much about their lives and probably 95% are great. Occasionally, a few can be a touch pretentious.
I’d like to think it helps me refine my people skills and keeps me grounded.
Have to admit, after not being out there during the pandemic, it’s nice to be out driving again and seeing the vibe of San Diego, really so much to do here.Oddly, I’ve managed to get to know a few neighbors this way, within half an hour had a family of Russian refugees coming from TJ, then a group coming from a wedding in Rancho Santa Fe. Kind of wakes you up to what is going on around us.
As far as money, no I don’t bring that up, if so in indirect terms about appreciating things in life. Some people need a little direction and really listen. It’s odd but one can have an impact in unexpected places.
May 31, 2022 at 7:12 PM #825805Participant[quote=gzz]Esco, I don’t know if SF city is even higher than SD now.
Spend 10 minutes browsing Zillow, they seem about the same now for condos.
Us going up 50-70% when SF is flat will do that.
SF outperformed us in the prior 2010-2017 period however.
I also spent a few minutes looking Manhattan. Lots of co-op listings below 2017-2018 prior sale prices. Some down 25% from prior sales. I was just randomly browsing the 1 to 1.5 submarket. Giant inventory too.[/quote]
Fair enough, my mind typically holds the data point and extrapolates to today as constant which reminds me to calibrate my thoughts.
You may well be right that things have softened as well they should have in SF.May 31, 2022 at 7:37 PM #825806CoronitaParticipant[quote=Escoguy][quote=Coronita]

Awesome. What are my chances of Ubering in a Miata?
I can give a lot of directions in life too…
Late apex, trail braking, rev matching…
Oh wait, I can only take one passenger, 6’2″ or under, comfortably….
But wait a minute….
…”Honey, I need a 2+2 seat 911s for my Uber business…”
That might work…Can you select how many passengers you can take?

One of my college buddies son’s got married at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on Sunday. I think the brides family might live here. A bunch of friends came in for it this weekend. If it was any of them Id guess you had a car full of very nice folks. I actually had another college buddy in town to entertain. We thought about popping in to say hi but were busy with plans ourselves

About 90% of the time it’s 2 or less. Groups of four are usually shorter trips.

This particular trip was last weekend but still shows how small this world is if we just get out and explore. Yes, they were nice, I actually find most passengers are good, it midly restores faith in human decency, given, I don’t see a full spectrum.
June 1, 2022 at 8:31 AM #825815ParticipantWhen I was flying, and in life in general, we have been amazed at how many wonderful people we have met over the years in this great big world, by virtue of our travels, so I can imagine it would be a similar experience with meeting people via Uber, and it sounds like you are really enjoying it.
This is definitely a busy time in RSF, especially at the Inn and Rancho Valencia. We see it every year about this time with weddings, the fair, racing, etc., and our home transforms into Hotel RSF–but we don’t mind having friends and family stay with us. The area makes you feel you have been transported to a private paradise, far away from everything, when, in reality, you are only minutes from all that you want and need, and that’s what we love about it.

ParticipantDon’t forget the infamous San Francisco poop map:
The actual interactive map. Takes a while to load and is a little slow but useful when planning a trip to SF. We stayed in the financial district back in April and it wasn’t bad at all. Some parts of the city are very rough, though. Not “gang” rough. But, “tent city full of crazies” rough.
