barnaby33ParticipantEvery one of the countries above us(on that list) is tiny and homogenious in its makeup (Singapore excluded). Hardly an effective comparison, but it is what it is.

barnaby33ParticipantWow, JES, I can actually imagine you salivating as you typed that. You took a thread that was mostly about finding/losing friends and really warped it. True JG helped, but man thats a real stretch.
Your message is full of the same religion based paranoia that seems to permeate conservative discourse. Why does it matter whether people goto church? Why does it matter if Muslims become a majority in England in 75 years? How are either of those things relevant to our search for friendships?
ctlmdjb: I challenge you to read the book The Case for Christ and the follow-on book The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel, a Yale trained lawyer who used to be an atheist. This nothing, if not an attack. We know by now that there are people here who are religious and people who aren’t. I think this thread would be alot better served by addressing how those two groups can bridge their gaps and become friends.
Big Kiss! (Oh I live in Hillcrest so watch out)

barnaby33ParticipantWhat exactly is a “wade” of cash?

barnaby33ParticipantI can’t speak for other cultures but fear plays a part here (San Diego.) I grew up here and only moved away for two years in college. All of my college friends, except one, have moved away. Some wanted to experience life elsewhere. Most were forced out by the rising cost of living.
I was at dinner on July 3rd in Longmont Co, with one of my oldest friends and my girlfriend. I lamented to both that I really felt deeply disappointed by my friends leaving and my inability to find new ones to replace them. My fear is not being able to find those relationships. What my friend and girlfriend pointed out to me though was that I had high expectations. Lots of people aren’t willing or able to meet those and so in a way I was sort of doomed. I thought to myself, “high expectations?” I think what they meant is that most people have a latent fear of opening themselves up to others. As we get older it becomes progressively more difficult. It becomes harder to bridge the gaps between ourself and other people. Our moats get bigger, our bridges get shorter.
I have always thought that deep meaningful close relationships with others was the most important characteristic of a successfull life. That and health. On the plus side, if you are looking for a good friend, I have spots available!

barnaby33ParticipantPoway is a big place. I always thought of it as kidney bean shaped, sort of a big U, running from Espola rd on the north to poway road on the south. Its filled in alot since I graduated from high school though. It seemed to me that it was always a pretty middle class area, except for Garden rd. That was where the WT lived. Maybe things have changed, areas have shifted? It was definitely conservative.

barnaby33ParticipantMaisel Presley had a promotion where they were doing that for one of their condo conversions. I wasn’t able to locate which one on their website though.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantWell duh, its Escondido! Generally speaking that area of Escondido is older poorer and far more heavily Hispanic than say the outskirts of town, or anything out east towards the wild animal park. It is however more attractive than lots of other areas in Escondido, certainly not the worst part.

There’s a few blogs out there where you can’t post edits after the fact (luckily Piggington isn’t one of them) and we all know the sinking feeling you get when you “reply all” instead of “reply.”
The instant of time when one is gripped by a “sick/sinking” feeling; specifically derived from the realization that they have just pushed “send/submit” without proof reading.

barnaby33ParticipantThe borrower’s job should not be affected and he can simply relocate in the same neighborhood (for 1/2 the cost) so his kids stay at the same school.
I don’t know anyone who has been through a foreclosure that is detached about it. My mother hid a recent bankruptcy from me for several years, she is smart. I realize that is only one example, but Perry you are being far too glib. Lots of people may detach to the extent that they realize they have to walk away, but its still very traumatic. Not just to them, but to friends and family even neighbors.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantHow many different types of loan instruments are there? You mentioned, “purchase money,” which I looked up:
A home-financing technique in which buyer borrows from the seller instead of, or in addition to, a bank. Sometimes done when a buyer cannot qualify for a bank loan for the full amount. also called seller financing or owner financing.
What other types of financing common and not so common are there?
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantSounds like a scam. If she is disabled, and short of money, why buy a house? If you are poor and money’s tight usually, though not always you are more frugal.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantYou don’t want to be Crispy & Cole, that person lives in Bakersfield. He does have good posts though.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantFor condos vrudny. SFR’s for the most part are coming down much more slowly.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantWhy wait till tomorrow? There has to be a 24hour mortgage broker who can get the ball rolling before midnight!
