Low wage workers leaving. High net worth coming in…B10….
BINGO![/quote]
I think it’s more of low & mid wage workers leaving. High net worth and homeless coming in.ParticipantI’ve gotten several rough estimates in 2019 from several design and build firms in San Diego to build a 4k sq-ft house from an existing 1100 sq-ft SFR and they came in anywhere between $185/sq-ft on the low end to $350/sq-ft on the high end. Assuming 2020-2021 was/is a fluke in term of material prices, I’d expect us to get back there once supply for materials free flow again.
One have to also remember that there are fixed costs regardless of how big/small you build. So, $/sq-ft will increase from the numbers I stated above if you build smaller.
ParticipantI’d take either Irvine or Cupertino or even Sunnyvale as where MM is heading to.
Participant[quote=jmw]People who don’t get in to 3Roots won’t have old Mira Mesa as their backup plan.[/quote]
Maybe most don’t, but I know one who does.[quote=jmw]Also, I don’t see a mass exodus from old Mira Mesa, to new Mira Mesa because why pay more in property tax and HOA.[/quote]
Maybe not mass exodus, but I know a few who are part of the 14k applicants. One was too slow, so won’t be part of phase 1. One is hoping to get on the list for Lennar if they go w/ first come first server. Several others are pondering buying there but no firm commitment.Property tax and HOA are just part of the ownership and some old part of MM do have HOA.
Participant[quote=sdrealtor][quote=jmw]Will 3Roots have any impact on pricing in “old” Mira Mesa?
My thoughts are, no. There are 14k people on the waitlist. People who don’t get in to 3Roots won’t have old Mira Mesa as their backup plan. Also, I don’t see a mass exodus from old Mira Mesa, to new Mira Mesa because why pay more in property tax and HOA.[/quote]
Did San Elijo Hills have any impact on San Marcos,? Did La Costa Valley change South Carlsbad? Did Encinitas Ranch change Encinitas? Did Eastlake change Chula Vista? Did 4S change Rancho Bernardo? You’ll be proven wrong. Won’t happen immediately but give me ten years. Will take any and all bets.[/quote]It also won’t just be 3Roots that will affect MM. There’s an even bigger development called Stonecreek that’ll be about 5-10 years behind 3Roots. They’re estimating that it’ll start building by 2030 and will have ~2.5x more residential unit than 3Roots: https://www.miramesatowncouncil.org/stone-creek/
The city is also in the process of rezoning Sorrento Valley, Miramar and the current commercial (strip malls in MM) to be higher density and mix used. https://www.miramesatowncouncil.org/city-proposes-high-density-housing-in-mira-mesa/
Not to mention all the business high rises popping up around UTC area. This will bring high income earners to the areas.
Mira Mesa will change drastically over the next 20 years.
With regards to 3Roots specifically, it’ll definitely bring people who can afford $1-1.4m houses to the Southwest part of MM. Their kids will go to Jonas Salk & Challenger, which will change the demographic there and drive up the test scores and image of the schools. 3Roots will be building a huge trail system that will benefit residence of the SW part of MM as well.
Like you sdrealtor, I’m extremely bullish here in the medium to long term.
ParticipantAll of this homeless problem wouldn’t matter if there’s no working from home option. People will complain but they’ll still be there.
June 23, 2021 at 10:00 AM in reply to: San Diego drastically outperforms Bay and LA on rents #822246ParticipantIn the submarket that I’m keeping an eye on for the last 15 years (Mira Mesa), house rent was low (relative to 1/1 & 2/2 condos) and wasn’t moving very much before last year. 4/3 houses were renting for $3200-3400/month and smaller 4/2 & 3/2 were renting for $2600-2800/month for about 5 years. I just checked Zillow and the big houses are all around $4000-4600/month now. While the smaller houses are renting for $3200-3400. That’s a huge jump. While 1/1 & 2/2 condo rent price haven’t gone up much over the last 2 years. 1/1 are still around $1700/month and 2/2 are still around $2200/month.
The rent gap between big and small houses were around 400-600/month for the last 15 years. However, now, they’re 800-1200/month. Which is quite interesting and might show a shift in who’s moving here.
Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]im thinking more of the 1870s ancestors. the tailors. short, fearless people. they dont even know about cars. inflations definitely been startling since 1870.
I bet we’d have a lot in common. the people from the 1700s, probably less in common. I kind of picture conversation with people from the 1600s being really difficult. even with the translators. i just dont know if we’d have that much in common. I think 1870s though, we could click.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just go live in Alaska wilderness? At least it’ll be warmer there.ParticipantYou nailed it Coronita. Different strokes for different folks. As long as you’re a match with the company that employ you, then you stay. If you’re not, some would still stay but complain while I rather leave and find a company that’s more in line w/ me.
ParticipantSo glad I never had to deal with people like svelte and deadzone earlier in my career while interviewing.
Participant[quote=XBoxBoy]
I don’t find that surprising. I can’t say in my 35 years of working as a programmer I’ve ever had to reverse a string.While I don’t know the details of the questions an asks or the tests Coronita sends home, I’d point out that in general tests and their questions turn out to be horrible predictors of programmer ability. Personally, I try to go with interview questions like, “Tell me about the toughest bug you ever had to solve? How did you go about solving it?” or, “What was the biggest challenge you faced working at your last job?” or “Of all the people you’ve worked with who was the person you learned the most from, and what did you learn?”
If I want to know about thought processes I often simply ask, “When asked to implement a new feature, what process do you like to follow?” (And btw, that last question is a trick question. The candidate who answers with the importance of fully designing before beginning to code is someone who likes to overdesign their stuff.)
Lastly, I like to see if a candidate can tell me a story, or a step by step procedure. They might have already told me a story with my earlier questions. And the reason that I think that’s important is that despite all the people that say “programming is math” I’ve found it is more like writing a novel. You have a story (what the program does) you have characters (objects in code) that must interact (ahh, the code that binds it all together) and good code is a process of constant editing, editing and more editing.
The bottom line to me isn’t whether the candidate has the ability to do some simple coding, (or more often than not, if they’ve reviewed a bunch of questions on sites that list the questions likely found on a programming exam) the question is can they contribute to a project with thousands of lines of code without creating a tangled mess. So, I try to focus my questions on figuring out how they’ll do with that.
Just my two cents though…[/quote]
That is the exact point. It’s not about actually solving the problem but being able to communicate your solution, thought process, or explain to someone what/why you’re stuck. If you’re stuck, then talk through with me what were you thinking that got you to the point where you’re stuck. I’m sure in your 35 years of working as a programmer, you’ve experienced a problem where you’re stuck, and you need help or pair with someone to solve a tough problem that you’ve never seen/experience before.The last thing I want is someone to join my team that when they’re stuck, they’ll stay stuck for days/weeks and not ask for help.
BTW, this is not the only question, but one among many others.
Participant[quote=Coronita]…And WTF is going on…It’s the 21st century…Despite a proliferation of Asian software engineers in the industry… Why is the c-level, so, for the lack of the better word…white..[/quote]
Asians are whiteParticipant[quote=Coronita]
Actually for our interview process, we offer a choice.1. Take home assignment
or
2. Answer programming questions on an whiteboard in front of engineers[/quote]
I only do #2. It’s not so much about actually solving the problem, which is quite easy and you should be able to do it w/in 15 minutes, but more about how you communicate your solution, thought process, and how about conduct yourself when you’re stuck. You’d be surprise at how many time I get people who say they have 10-15 years of experience who can’t reverse a string. Then I also have some people who reach for the most complex solution for the simplest problem (using recursion to reverse a string).Participant[quote=gzz]3. It’s funny to see people with $80,000 cars worry about saving 30 cents by doing their dishes or laundry at night.[/quote]
I feel the same way. I rather drive a $40k car and wash our dishes/laundry whenever I want. -
