ParticipantThe developers saw the writing on the wall months earlier. There were no testing done by the developer or testers, but by the government. They were crammed into conference room with pizza and energy drink working past 10PM on a daily basis. Yep, that’s a recipe for a great product w/ little to no bugs.
To all the talking heads, 20 million visits is not 20 million unique user. For a system that supposed to be as big as ACA supposed to be, it supposed to be able to handle Pinterest level traffic with ease.

The cougar crowd looking for men of means was quite entertaining…

How was the food? I heard mixed reviews…
You’ve been to Snooze yet?[/quote]
Snooze is my fav breakfast place. Used to go to the one in hillcrest and though Carmel Valley location would be less crowded, but not so. They can probably open a few more around SD like Broken Yolk.[/quote]I was going to try that place but in between waiting 45+mins for seat and the loud music, I haven’t been yet…
I miss IHOP in Carmel Valley, which it replaced…
Now I need to go to your hood to eat and risk getting shot…
Just kidding..[/quote]Maybe they’ll take over the IHOP in MM and it’ll alleviate the wait in Carmel Valley :-). MM can use that and a broken yolk too.

That fact taken by itself sounds worse than the 200# husband beating his 100# wife.
You want facts or context; and if context, how much context?[/quote]
Welcome back briansd….How have you been?[/quote]
Aww, you scared him away.Participant[quote=flu]Unfortunately, you’re daughter is renting in an area where rental is in high demand due to the proximity to Sorrento Valley tech center. Short of something catastrophic to said the major tech companies there (*cough* qualcomm *cough*), it’s unlikely this will subside. There is a huge luxury condo complex being built at the end of Mira Mesa Blvd/I-15. I am pretty sure that whomever owns that complex has done extensive research into this submarket, probably with more data than any of us combined. And folks that scoffed at the new Pardee SFH and attached communities off of Flanders have been pretty much been proven wrong… Most phases are sold out….[/quote]Correction, Camino Santa Fe & Calle Cristobal/Sorrento Valley Blvd., not Flanders. There’s no new houses going up on Flanders AFAIK.
ParticipantBe careful what you ask for. 5-6 years ago, your daughter’s condo was renting for ~$1500. So, rent for 2/2 has not gone up for over 1/2 a decade. However, 1/1 was going for ~$1050-1100 at the time. Today, they’re $1200-1300. So, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that 2/2 rent will start to rise to keep pace w/ 1/1 rents. Then there are SFR rent. 5-6 years ago, 3/2 and 4/2 were renting for $1800-1900. Today, they’re renting for $2200-2300. Larger SFR are still around $2400-2600 like they were 5-6 years ago. So, if anything, I think those 2 sub markets will rise rather than price falling.
October 16, 2013 at 9:13 AM in reply to: OT: Justice for Alexian Lien: victim of mob beating… #766950Participant[quote=patb]the problem is Mieses may not have been part of the problem.
his wife claims mieses was trying to calm the crowd down.
As i see it, this was a garden variety traffic accident.
then it got a little tense, then lien drove through the crowd.
the mieses guy got run overthen it just got stupid.
If mieses was threatening lien, lien needed to be in “Reasonable fear of bodily harm” the problem is lien was inside a range rover, that was perfectly sound.
none of these chuckleheads had broken a window, none of them blown a tire,
sure the crowf was pissed. if you drive badly and run over a pedestrian the bystanders will get pissed too.if you then drive through the crowd of angry pedestrians, because one slapped his hand on the trunk, well, that’s aggravated assault.
Lien needed to stay where he was, chill out, call 911.
now he’s facing a couple of million in lawsuits, he’s facing
a long messy, career destroying swarm of publicity.i’m not going to join either side, the cops have arrested the guys who kicked his ass, and the lawyers are suing lien.
i’ll let the system work[/quote]How did his wife know he was calming the crowd down when he was in a coma?
Did Lien aim from Mieses and only hit him? If he didn’t, then it doesn’t matter of Mieses personally threaten Lien or not. If he felt threaten by the rest of the bikers, then he did flee in fear for his life and his family’s life. Perfectly legal. Mieses, if he really was trying to calm things down were just associated w/ the wrong crowd and being in the wrong place at a wrong time. Also, he ride his bike w/ no license and walked in front of a car on a freeway. Since when is that a smart or legal thing to do?
FYI, Lien’s wife did call 911, several times. So did many other people. There were over 200 911 calls about the bikers that day.
You’re right, lets hope the system will work this out and toss all those thugs in jail.
Participant[quote=SD Realtor]Hmmm….. take advice from people who are landlords and own properties in a given area or listen to others who are not landlords and who have never lived in a certain area….
what to do, what to do….[/quote]
haha…
+1Participant[quote=spdrun]Considering some neighborhoods in SD have a lot of 1910-1930 houses and others have a lot of apts and condos built in the 1960s through 80s, 1990 is relatively new.
Hell, by non-SD (northeastern) standards, 1990 is practically new-build 🙂 Assuming halfway decent construction quality, the building should be able to last 50+ years at minimum — 23 years old is nothing.[/quote]We’re talking about Mira Mesa, not North Park. The oldest home in Mira Mesa was built ~35 years ago. So 23 years ago is not new, unless you think the entire Mira Mesa is relatively new.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]AN, of course you know that 92121 is Sorrento Mesa/Valley, NOT MM (92126). Regardless of any SFR tracts built on Calle Cristobal, the development(s) that FIH is referring to is relatively new, as are those nearby “spec-home” monstrosities that we’ve discussed here a few times.[/quote]Seriously, DO YOUR RESEARCH. I’ve said it more than a few time, but it doesn’t seem to work. So, maybe all caps will. Part of 92121 IS Mira Mesa. How many times do I have to say it before you get it. If you don’t believe me, just do your research.
FYI, that condo FIH posted was built in 1990. That’s freakin’ 23 years ago. Since when is 23 years relatively new?
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference, AN. If the market rent in PQ is $1800 mo for a small 3 bdrm with a garage, the tenant in unit #101 is paying $1800 mo and the tenant next door in their mirror (identical) unit (#102) is paying $225 with a $1575 Section 8 voucher, you might not be able to tell which is which.
Don’t count on being able to tell who the “Section 8” tenant is by the vehicle they drive or the clothing they wear. OR whether each works FT or not, because, believe it or not, some Section 8 tenants are allowed to work FT.[/quote]It’s pretty easy to tell that a QCOM H1B worker does not have a section 8 voucher. It’s pretty easy to tell a UCSD student does not have a section 8 voucher.
ParticipantBg, just because I said MM, PW, and RB because there are a lot of high tech renters doesn’t mean there are no low income renters in those areas. I hope you can tell the difference.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]I digress. There was little or nothing built on the land from I-805 to the west, which was part of MM, until the last few years. The area IS part of the City (MM) but has only recently been developed.[/quote]Seriously BG, do some research before you speak. The 92121 part of Mira Mesa has been built out for 15 years. Is 15 years now the new “last few years”? Most of Calle Cristobal was built over 20 years ago.
[quote=bearishgurl]Here in South County, the vast majority of condos have at least a std one-car garage and most have a two-car garage. I guess that’s the difference in congestion levels due to zoning differences between MM and Chula Vista (and surrounds). Garages and storage space (which they would have to pay dearly for at a self-storage biz) are very important to tenants. Especially if they have a pricey vehicle which could easily get hit, scratched or vandalized while parked in a condo parking lot.[/quote]
What you’re describing in South County is the exactly reason why there are a demographic difference between the area. What’s important to those who live in South County doesn’t necessary be what’s important to those who live in Mira Mesa. You can’t take your South County view point and apply to other areas.[quote=bearishgurl]Although some seem to do it, I agree that South County is too far for most workers to drive RT daily to Sorrento Valley/Mesa to work. That is the ONLY REASON why Chula V’s asking prices for starter SFRs seem to be lower than those in other, closer areas to major job centers. They are NOT lesser houses, lesser neighborhoods or somehow have lesser-intelligent or poorer residents living there than do rentals in other parts of the county. When one looks at the price of mid-level, executive and luxury housing in South County, most of it is every bit as expensive as that in other parts of the county. This is because this type of housing isn’t usually used as a rental.[/quote]I hope you know that you’re contradicting yourself in this paragraph. The distance IS one of the reason why the demographics are different. Because the demographic is different, the rest kinda explain itself. If you prefer to rent to professionals, either fresh grads or H1B working at Qualcomm, then you wouldn’t be buying in Chula Vista. You’ll be buying where they want to live, which is Mira Mesa. The demographic is the way it is. Deal with it. We’re talking about $400k rentals here, not some mansions. Those who rent a $400k rental are not the same type of people who buy executive & luxury housing in South County.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]No, FIH has stated here in so many words that he “suspects” tenant-applicants in South County to somehow be “lesser-qualified” than the tenants he is used to dealing with (up north?).
I’m just putting this ridiculous assumption to rest as nothing could be further from the truth.
[/quote]You’re responding to me about a point that I didn’t make? I don’t care how many section 8 there area. I do care who are the majority renters. -
