ParticipantSomewhat related to PHX rentals discussion
General Motors Co. will open a new information technology innovation center in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler and begin hiring what will eventually be 1,000 high-tech employees for the new location beginning in April, the automaker announced Wednesday.

Judging by the reaction from flight attendants the culture of fear is here to stay, no worries.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=no_such_reality][quote=bearishgurl]craptcha, if you’re a prospective buyer in 92127/92128, may I ask what’s wrong with the 21 listings that you presumably CAN make an offer on?[/quote]
The fact that there are probably 1000 buyers looking.
This isn’t a market that is in balance. This is a market that is horribly constrained….[/quote]
It’s just as I thought, craptcha ;=0. You’re just one of the many Piggs at the trough trying to muscle your way in to nuzzle for scraps. You’re afraid your offer won’t even get noticed, right?
Well, get a more “credible” agent then, or find another trough. Foreclosure Ranch and surrounds (with its mostly substandard lots and exorbitant MR which will cost you a fortune) isn’t the only game in town. Why don’t you get out of the CFDs and branch out a little bit with your search? Believe it or not, there ARE established areas around there (that the Piggs aren’t fighting and up-bidding one another over) which are no doubt close to your workplace. They have plenty of infrastructure nearby as well, some even moreso than Foreclosure Ranch.
Your search is too narrow. At this rate and with your current agent, you may not be able to buy anything this year.[/quote]
You replied to NSR. I am not looking to buy a SFR at the moment, I added to the existing house instead.
I doubt there are many pending foreclosures in 4S at the moment and there are exactly 0 non-contingent SFR’s with the asking price of $800K or less.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]
I realize that a good portion of these listings (20-25% ?) are “contingent” SS’s but I am failing to understand why so many prospective buyers are claiming there is “nothing to buy” due to “low inventory.”Could it be that they THINK they need dozens of properties to consider before making an offer on ONE home?
If so, that’s complete and utter BS, partly fueled by agent/broker incompetency.

92127 has 9 non-contingent SFR’s under $800K. 92128 has about a dozen once all age-restricted areas are removed. Three years ago we had more than 100 houses matching the same criteria.
Participant[quote=no_such_reality]Those are payout odds; the odds of hitting two singles and a five are 5 in 54872 or roughly 1 in 10974.
You also won’t be able to make your second bet as it needs to be $5250. The biggest inside bet I’ve seen for table limits is MGM at $1000.
As a high roller, you might be able to get an exception provided you front the bankroll.[/quote]
True (for the odds, no idea on the limit, but I believe you). The point I was trying to make is that the odds are not that good for those who enter the raffle.
ParticipantThe odds of you winning $1.1MM are 1/51K, assuming all the tickets are sold.
You could take $150 to roulette the next time you go to Vegas and hit two singles + first five. You would end up with the same amount of money if you tip $2,500 and the odds are 1/7350.
Participant[quote=spdrun]Bikes are traffic. Bikes are allowed to take the lane regardless of signage. Cagers who whinge about it can fork themselves: that’s the law.[/quote]
Assuming they are moving with the traffic.

ParticipantOn Big Bear since yesterday, not much going on. Three parked media vans and that’s about it. I jumped to big bear from snow summit, the road is open, the resort is as busy as usual.
Participant[[email protected]] I have no desire to sit in traffic for multiple hours a day commuting back and forth from Rancho Bernardo. I am curious as to where these top notch schools are where one can find a Single family home for $350k in San Diego County? [/quote]
I’m not sure if you work in RB or your commute from/to RB would take hours (I live in that area. My commute to San Marcos was 20-25min, my current commute to downtown SD is 30-35 min).
This one is in RB’s High Country West, sold for $360K last Summer: http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/15972-Turtleback-Rd-92127/home/4624064

(Then we can have a 2nd discussion about how they managed to hit the two occupants ONCE).[/quote]
They hit one (71y old). Her daughter was supposedly injured by the broken glass.

How someone mistakes a Blue Toyota Tacoma for a Gray Nissan Titan is beyond me..

Participant[quote=spdrun]And now LAPD will have the reputation for hiring homicidal loonjobs in addition to being racist, sexist, rude, unhelpful, and happy to give out parking tickets like confetti on a Thanksgiving Day parade. The 90 or so % of decent cops on the LAPD must be thrilled with this situation.
I have to wonder if LAPD’s behavior varies by precinct — speaking only to NYC, I’ve heard horror stories about NYPD in “bad” areas of the Bronx and Brooklyn and how they treat the residents. Yet my experiences with the dept in lower (read: below 100th St) Manhattan haven’t been negative at all thus far.[/quote]
It also helps if you can show off some fair skin and Caucasian facial features.

Participant[quote=AN][quote=craptcha]Expanded quote, from your link
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.[/quote]IIRC, the first internet got funded through defense. Aren’t we talking about cutting defense budget?[/quote]
The Internet is already invented and we don’t need to invent it again.
Also, defense budget is not entirely used on DARPA. It also pays for Duke Cunningham’s Del Mar house and few other minor expenditures. Do you want to know how much you pay to have a Navy officer reassigned from Miramar to Germany for a year and have his family (and his truck and his dog) keep him company during that year?
