ParticipantBG, I’m talking about having choice in general. Not just for me. So my local school’s quality doesn’t affect the topic at hand.
Since you ask about me and what school would I like? I say private schools. I’m not impressed with ANY public school in SD (even Carmel Valley) at the elementary school level. At least the ones where I’ve looked at.
I don’t care as much about HS as elementary schools. HS, kids are not clump together by age. They’re clump together by mental capability. So, unless the school is complete crap, it doesn’t matter as much. There’s always JC options during HS school too. In elementary on the other hand, you’re stuck with kids your age.
Unless they have change it up (do you have data to support the 10-11 grades statement?), 9th grade grades also count as well as your senior year grade (you have to submit your transcript after you graduate. So if you completely slack off in 12th grade and get F’s, I’m sure they’ll reject your acceptance.

Uh, guess I didn’t have time to read it thru. AN, lol. Given the after-effects of Katrina, I can understand why LA would have the most school choice, but why don’t you think SD residents don’t have enough school choice? I think probably close to half of the students residing in SDUSD do NOT attend the school in their attendance area.UCGal sounded kinda pessimistic about her kid(s)’ chances of being picked to attend HTM. As she knows, you can’t “win” a spot if you don’t apply for it.
And what’s wrong with Standley MS and UCHS? Last time I looked (albeit not recently), these were very good schools.
edit: sorry, I first directed my reply to UCGal. It was actually AN who read the article.
AN, what’s wrong with the schools in MM? I thought they had been high-scoring in recent years?? And why don’t you think your kid will be able to “choice?”[/quote]
For all the same reason why I think LA have the most school choice.Go here to see LA’s school choice law/program description:
http://www.edchoice.org/School-Choice/State/LA.aspxThere’s nothing wrong with MM school. Their scores have been going up in recent years, but that’s neither here nor there. It’s irrelevant to the topic of school choice. Even if I live in the coveted Carmel Valley, it wouldn’t change the face that we don’t have enough choice.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]I saw in Albertson’s last night that SD Magazine had an article 10 reasons to Love San Diego.
I thumbed thru it in the checkout line and one of the 10 reasons was that the City offered the most “school choice” in the nation!

Uh, we’re #4, not #1. Even at #4, we only got a B-. You might be happy with a B- but I’m not. I would put Louisiana at the top of the list for School choice.Participantdup.
Participantdup.
Participant[quote=UCGal]AN was certain of his opinion he stated it 3 times. LOL[/quote]
Dang drupal and slow network connection :-D.Participant[quote=flu][quote=AN]All of those sounds about right. I’d refi cash out to 80% ltv 30 years fixed and use the extra cash to buy the investment property.[/quote]
how did you manage to cash out to 80%?[/quote]
Captcha, good catch. I didn’t notice the conforming+ part.
flu, my bad, there’s no 80% LTV for conforming+ AFAIK.If you really want to, you can always do a like kind trade. I.e. buy a house just like yours with 90% LTV (SDCCU have these), and sell yours. You’ll lose out on the RE commissions but you can extract 90% of your value. Another option is to get a RE license for ~$5k (rough estimate) and buy/sell yourself. That’ll save you a lot on the commissions.
ParticipantI’m a big fan of turbo (cheap mod & higher potential). Neither of the NSX nor the R8 have turbo, which is why I went with the GT-R. Not to mention that killer AWD.
ParticipantAll of those sounds about right. I’d refi cash out to 80% ltv 30 years fixed and use the extra cash to buy the investment property.
ParticipantCan I pick them all? :-). If I have to pick, I’ll go with the GT-R. What would you pick flu?

I’m not greedy, I’d setting for 8 in 4…. I just don’t want to wait until I’m fvcking 50 or 60 before I start enjoying life excessively….[/quote]
You’re greedy. I’ll take 5 in 10 :-).Participant[quote=markmax33][quote=JohnAlt91941][quote=pri_dk]
mm33, your stock picks remind me of my aunt that likes to go to Pechanga. She must be very wealthy by now, because she always tells me about the times she has won, and has never mentioned a losing day.[/quote]I bet that’s not what she tells the IRS. :-)[/quote]
Your right I don’t. It’s called a Roth IRA. I will white out my TDAmeritrade account and post it if you need proof.[/quote]
You’re 24 in 2004. Assuming you graduated in 2002 as an engineer, you have a total of 9 years to max out your Roth IRA. We’re only talking about ~$40k pot. You might want to chill out and take a humble pill. That might seem a lot to you but I’m sure some people on here have much larger nest eggs. Their investments might not be as flashy as AAPL or CMG over the last few years, but it’s a marathon, not a sprint.Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Now I get to LOL you. We were talking median and then you switched to some argument on the mean. Sorry dude but I know the difference do you?
If you want to talk stock portfolios and put yours up against mine its only fair to let you know that I bought Microsoft in 1987 and have a cost basis of about 20 cents a share. You can have your AAPL 10 to 20 baggers. BTW, I was 24 in 1987 and already had lots of money. Now I have alot more. You’ll never catch me.[/quote]
Talking about stock picks, AAPL might have the largest market cap right now, but it definitely does not have the highest return. MSFT at the peak of the .com bubble have a market cap of ~$580B. Which means AAPL would have to get to ~$580/share to match it. If MM is just looking at the last 5 years, he can take a look at BIDU. They blew AAPL out of the water. Over the last 5 years, AAPL might have yielded him 400%, BIDU would have yielded him ~1000% :-D.Participant[quote=Ren]
You are absolutely right, the 500whp was the beer talking. There are a lot over 400 with stock internals, but the 500+ need a little more to be safe and are probably on an ethanol mix. Also probably a lot more of those out of state than here in car enthusiast hell.[/quote]
I know what you mean. I’m really pondering getting a dirt cheap house/condo in Arizona just for that reason. Screw CARB.The problem with small I4 and turbo is low end torque. I’ve ridden in a mid 300WHP EVO and going up hill in a parking garage where you have to keep it bellow 5MPH or you’ll hit something is a nightmare. There’s no replacement for displacement :-).
