ParticipantProbably at least 100 metal detectors. That’s why it’s called the ghetto.
Participant[quote=flu]Oh snap, shit sorry AN. Never mind, Mira Mesa sucks… Never.mind…[/quote]Yeah, you better be sorry. We don’t want that kind of snobbery here. Keep it in your upscale lizardland. We only take ghetto lizards here. Snobby lizards don’t fit in here and will just be miserable.
Participant[quote=yuhtey][quote=AN][quote=yuhtey]the only positive about mira mesa is that wings n things. mmmm.
i love all the CV folks trying to tell me that, because it’s not to my taste, that i “just can’t afford it” and that it’s above my class. has my point been proven without me saying anything?[/quote]
Wings n Things? That’s some nasty shit. Been there once and never been back. Now I’m understanding where all of these rants are coming from.[/quote]yes, fried chicken and hot sauce tends to be popular. go figure. you are missing out. take a break from your cornish game hens at the bay club with flu, and live a little.[/quote]You call that “hot” sauce? Now, you’re the one who need to live a little.
BTW, I live in the ghetto, so bay club is way out of my league.

Old money spans generations. The professionals are just the gatekeeper class for the establishment old money.[/quote]What make you think CV don’t have plenty of those old money? Like I said in my other post, most new money can’t truly afford CV. They’re trying too hard to be old money and live in an area where old money buy/live as their first house.ParticipantStop it flu.
Don’t listen to what flu just said. That’s garbage talk. MM is a horrible place to buy, investment or otherwise. It’s the ghetto and people get shot all the time. It also have way too many walls, infested in lizards, and is unbearably hot during the summer and unbearably cold during the winter. Don’t buy in MM unless you want to lose your $.
ParticipantYou’re coming off as someone who can’t truly afford CV but are trying very hard to make your wife happy and are getting pissed at how much you have to stretch to live in CV. If your wife have to work and both of your don’t have a Benz/Audi/BMW sedan as a daily driver, a Benz/Audi/BMW SUV to carry stuff and a Porsche for the weekend fun, you can’t truly afford CV. Get used to it. Sticker shock is a bitch when you can’t afford the stuff that you thought you’re entitled to have.
Yes, CV is not LJ. LJ, you don’t even fret about school, since you’ll be sending your kids to LJCD.
Participant[quote=yuhtey][quote=flu]
Phew… For a minute there I was worried you were going to complain about us generation X douchebaggery that enjoy pissing people off.[/quote]
no – all of this commentary is towards the boomers. we think they are fussed about my wife being asian and our kids being halfsies.[/quote]
Dude, this is SD, not the deep South. Your halfsies ain’t that special. There’s one at every street corner.Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=AN]Back to the OP, it really depend on the type and age of houses you’re looking for. If I’m looking for a low $1M house, I would consider South West UC, something like this one: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-150049752-5561_Stresemann_San_Diego_CA_92122, put $100k to upgrade and spend the other $100-500k in private school.[/quote]Very nice close-in listing, AN. I see concrete issues, a possible pool deck issue (OP said he really didn’t want a pool) and possibly rotted wood garden walls outside but very little, if anything, wrong with the inside. And the outside issues are likely not urgent.
It appears that this listing is in the Curie Elem attendance area (walking distance) so not sure why you suggested private schools. I know this micro area fairly well and some of its (irregular-shaped) lots are pretty awesome!
OP, you should really consider this listing for its location, putting aside the possible “political persuasion” of its neighborhood inhabitants and the existence of a pool (which can be fenced for about $2K). It’s a good house for you and it doesn’t get that much better than this for you, location wise.
Thanks for sharing![/quote]I think is particular house is over priced and the lot is on the small side. I would much prefer houses further west on that street, past the Elementary school. This location can get quite busy during drop off and pick up time. Although Curie might be good, it’s not as good as MBMA or LJCD. If I can afford $1.1-1.5, then I would buy $1M house and spend the rest in private school.
As for the pool, you can always fill it in for $7-10k. Just add that cost to the cost of remodeling the whole house.
Participant[quote=flu][quote=FlyerInHi]I just saw a 2000sf condo. That would be fine for a family.
Why is a house a necessity if you have kids? I’m enjoying condo living and never want a house again.I wish they’d build more condos. Mid to high rises over 4 stories so they are solid concrete and steel. I think in Irvine and Carmel Valley, the Asians and tech workers would buy them up like hot cakes.[/quote]
Buying a 2000 sqft attached home in a given area might not me that much more affordable than an sfh. It depends on what the hoa will be. For example, if a condos hoa ends up being $400/month, that would be equivalent to borrowing more on a 30year with monthly payments being $400 more.[/quote]
Also, mortgage payment will end, while HOA will not.ParticipantOr if you must have new, $1.1M can get you this in Sorrento Valley: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-150062258-10971_Lopez_Ridge_Way_San_Diego_CA_92121

Participant[quote=flu][quote=ocrenter][quote=Hobie]You might check Skyranch in Santee. good reviews. And maybe even look at Newport Coast. Lots of good stuff up there.[/quote]
another great thing about Skyranch is it is only 10 minutes away from La Jolla.[/quote]
You stole my line. That’s trademarked. Watch out for the lizards.[/quote]
And walls.Participant[quote=The-Shoveler][quote=XBoxBoy][quote=CA renter]It is strange how everyone seemed to agree that the credit/housing bubble that brought us to our knees in 2008 was the consequence of holding interest rates too low for too long.[/quote]
Don’t think that is true. Most people seem to agree that the 2008 housing bubble was caused by lax lending standards, not by holding interest rates too low for too long. There’s a big difference between those two things.[/quote]
