Participant[quote=flu]So….
JPM announced they are suspending their stock repurchase…..to preserve capital for the $2billion loss…
Or… because they know the stock is going to tank more….

According CNN, it’s $6-7B and growing now.an

Down 10%
Whooohooo…
sextuple down?????[/quote]
Down over 13% at close. Maybe he bought some more at close?an
Participant[quote=equalizer]Yep, I thought FB was a fad, but guess who is laying off 30,000 people soon? Hewlett Packard. It seems that very few tech companies make any real profit these days outside of Apple, Oracle, MS, and GOOG. Intel and MS should heed warning from smart young people and stop wasting money on yet another boring OS/CPU. All the money is in software. Maybe they should train their people how to game FB apps. They could fire half the staff and get massive ad revenue. I gotta go, think Meg is calling me.

You don’t think there’s S/W in CPU and OS is not S/W? How do you think these FB apps will run without CPU and OS? What will it run on without CPU/OS? What server will serve these apps without CPU/OS?an

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?an
ParticipantI know that development well. It’s one of the higher if not the highest apartment complex in MM. $1275 doesn’t surprise me. $1454 does though. But maybe that $1454 is 1/1 + office/loft?

ParticipantAll I can say is, voucher system.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Location, location, location. Close to the jobs and good access to everything good about SD. In the last decade or so they built at least 2 times this many LARGE single family homes as well as thousands of condos in the Encinitas/South Carlsbad/SW San Marcos area. I dont see many of them sitting empty. They will have no problem absorbing that many.[/quote]
Totally agree. Location, location, location. Especially if gas price keep on going up and traffic gets worse due to increase density in San Diego, people will want to live closer to work. There are quite a few companies in Mira Mesa.an

Funny that you mentioned this. Throughout my 4 years of driving to UCSD (La Jolla), there are quite a few times I can make it in 7 minutes :-P.an
ParticipantBG, FYI, they’ll be expanding Carroll Canyon to be another east/west feeder street with 3 lanes each side. So, I’m not worry about the 5000 people clogging up surface street. The way this development is placed, it would be a lot more convenient for those people to take Carroll Canyon or Miramar Rd. to go east or west to the freeway. So, it’s not going to add much traffic to MM Blvd. They’re also adding a DAR to Carroll Canyon to the 805 as well as realigning the on/off ramps. So, traffic around the 805 on/off ramp during traffic hours should be improved once they’re done. Again, I put a little more trust in the city planners as they approve projects, I’m sure they’ve done plenty of traffic study and they’ve planned for additional traffic. Also, they’re talking about extending the trolly along Carroll Canyon in the medium term to also help reduce congestion. Trolly will go through UTC and onto downtown.
Unlike you, I’m not afraid of increase density, as long as they’re keeping the SFR and condo area well defined and I don’t get a condo popping up next door to me where it’s currently a SFR. I’m actually looking forward to the increase density. Not only will they have more retail/restaurants for me to go to, there will be more money to improve various parks throughout Mira Mesa. It’s a win-win in my book.

Participant[quote=bearishgurl]I mean, now many units is too much? Isn’t a 5000 + 1800 (6800) unit-projection a little “ambitious?” I understand they will be fairly close to SV but is this REALLY where every incoming worker wants to live given all the choices in this county? And will their REALLY be enough tenants to fill all these units that actually want to live in them?
These projects, if actually built, don’t seem to bode too well for the quality of life of the long-established resident homeowners in MM.[/quote]
The 1800+ apartments is being built right now. While the Stone Creek masterplan won’t start building for at least another 3-5 years. Which mean, they won’t be done for at least another 10 years. Also keep in mind that Stone Creek is a mixed used master plan, so there will be commercial and retail w/in this masterplan. So, these new businesses will bring in new renters to the area. I’m sure the builders have done their investigation and they think there’s enough demand to build it, which is why they are. I trust that they do their due diligence before spending their millions more than some anonymous online poster.I’m a established resident and I’m excited about the master plan. Not only will the master plan brings more parks and trails to the area, they will also bring in retail. Which means more restaurant options. Due to increase demand, this will, hopefully bring in more high end and more mom and pop restaurants. The masterplan is zoned in a way that bring the building up to the side walk, which will encourage walking. The retail will be mixed in with the residential to support both the residential and the workers working at the commercial areas.
Also, because of these two development, the main Mira Mesa park (corner of New Salem and Mira Mesa) will be completely rebuilt. It’s a $25M project and 2/3 of the cost will be footed by these two development. So, that’s a big improvement in quality of life for the current owners.

Participant[quote=Navydoc]That’s for prevention, which we have many effective ways. Markmax implied suspension of an existing pregnancy, which would be news to me.
By the way, I love all the methods that claim to be 100% effective. Only one method is 100% effective that I know of. Well, it’s only failed once in 2000 years, and many people don’t even believe that. Problem is, nobody wants to do that method.
On a related note, you’d be amazed how many times I’ve delivered Jesus in the Navy.[/quote]
Cutting off the guy’s balls or removing the girl’s ovaries is also 100% effective :-D.an
Participant[quote=flu]What is a DAR?[/quote]
