ParticipantCocoa Design Patterns, Apricot Jam and Just Fix-It (recommended here a couple of years ago)
Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Inventory stayed very stable. As much coming on as selling. Hopefully we can get some more inventory out here cause its pretty grim these for buyers.[/quote]
Worse than grim in my submarket. I’m watching few subdivisions for move up opportunity – there is simply nothing for sale, at any price. The cash-only condo complex that was an alternative destination for my savings went from ~10 listings to 2 in 6 months. I decided to spend a couple of weeks in EU to quench my spending drive for now. Greece should be fun destination this summer.
Participant[quote=The-Shoveler]Yahoo was counting on FB to go Big time I think,
There was a lot hanging on this IPO, I lot of WS firms were counting FB to fund their next year’s bonuses.Kind of scary actually. I don’t see anything keeping the game going myself.[/quote]
Forget about FB. Pinterest is the future.
ParticipantYou don’t need to get on freeway to move around the area, but some communities (like the small gated community next to Trails mentioned by ocrenter) are 1/2 mile from 14 lanes of I15.
Another thing not mentioned that some find relevant – newer communities tend to be more racially diverse with significant number of recent immigrants. One of the reasons we like 4S. On the other hand a friend of mine decided not to buy in 4S and went to trails instead.
BG linked to a house in nice community (Rancho Arbolitos). Their swim&tennis club is nice and you can walk to stores and a couple of community parks. The schools might not be the best in the school district, some people send their kids to St. Michael’s a couple of miles away.
And what ocrenter says 🙂
Ivy Gate is nice and Romney’s would be your neighbors, but there is nothing available right now.

Zoll, 61, did not return calls to home or work numbers for this story. He worked six years for the city of Carlsbad before retiring in 2009. He also worked 37 years in the county sheriff’s department.He retired at 58, after working for 43 years, and he gets $3.2k/month for 6 years spent in Carlsbad.[/quote]
So he start working for the sheriff’s department at age 15? Did he drop out of school?[/quote]Good questions. Too bad the UT editor did not ask the same question. I also thought $3.2k/month is too much for 6 years with Carlsbad. It would cost $600K+ to buy an annuity that pays that much.
ParticipantWhat’s your budget? Where do you work (i.e. how far north can you go)? Do you want to be able to walk to school/stores/parks, or you don’t care if you have to get in the car to get anywhere? Do you mind/prefer if you are less then a mile from I15?

May 16, 2012 at 8:47 AM in reply to: OT: So much for paying their fair share of taxes…. Facebook co-founder gives up U.S. citizenship… #743895ParticipantThe flip side is the harvesting of human resources from all around the world for the benefit of the US economy. Plucking a Nigerian nurse from a village where she’s taking care of dozens of children and placing her in a retirement home in suburban Chicago to take care of few oldtimers offloaded by their baby-boomer children causes irreparable damage. Or not as dramatic, but still ‘unfair’ transfer of taxpayers money when a graduate from Germany or a PhD from Ukraine takes a job at an American university.
ParticipantI don’t think they can roll back the number without adjusting the format and reducing the amount of group/pair work.

Just how does one “suspend” a pegnancy exactly? [/quote]
My making it a constitutional right. It would require an amendment or more creative interpretation of 2nd amendment.

I also have no plans to practice polygamy or incest, but I would not object to either. If consenting adults want to consider themselves married I say let them, regardless of their number, sexual orientation or their common ancestors.
[EDIT]
Dr. P approves.[/quote]
+1. Why just gay marriage? Why not open up marriage to all? Including polygamy, incest, and bi-sexual relationships. As long as they’re all consenting adults, they all should be legal.I’d like to know how many people who support gay marriage also support polygamy? I’ll go first… I do.[/quote]
Are you volunteering to pay for the special education and all the medical bills of children born of incest??
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consanguinity%5B/quote%5D
Dr. P says the constitution guarantees pursuit of happiness. There is no exclusion for increased risk of producing intellectually challenged offsprings. (Personally, I would support an exclusion like that).
Also, what AN says. He’s Asian (A in AN is for Asian), thus smarter than us, and more importantly he agrees with me.
Alternatively, parents (all, not just incestuous) need to deposit $50K before a child is conceived. The money will be used to cover the cost of special education and medical bills if the parents are unable to do so. Parents with no $50K to deposit can have the pregnancy terminated or suspended until they prove their fitness.

Dr. P approves.Participant[quote=briansd1][quote=markmax33®][quote=AN] How can you explain the fact that Asian in low income areas like El Cajon getting similar API scores as Hispanics in an area like Carmel Valley?[/quote]
Clearly, Asians are smarter than Hispanics.[/quote]Not smarter, we all all the same.
The difference is culture. Asian families value education a lot more, even more than Whites, IMO. Whites have the advantage of being the establishment.
But give it a few more decades and you will see. We already see that in disproportionately high Asian enrollment at CA universities.[/quote]
When you guys say ‘Asian’, do you include Afghans, Turks and Bangladesh(ies?)?

That’s too harsh, Brian. Why not call them ‘partially documented migrants’, or ‘amnesty eligible migrants’?
