ParticipantL.A. renter–thanks for the good advice.
It’s hindsight, of course, but I should have sold it all back in 2000, when I became trustee, and bought an investment property. 🙁

ParticipantI am more frightened by the stock market. I know there’s been some discussion on here about how wacky it is compared to the declining housing market. I am the trustee for a relative whose stock portfolio has zoomed to over $500K in recent months. I think it’s too risky and I want out. But capital gains taxes will be HUGE. Any advice gratefully accepted,

ParticipantRustico–
The air quality here seems pretty good. I work right on Morena. If you’re as close to the 5 as I am, there is traffic noise, however. Most of the time I ignore it — it becomes white noise after awhile. But when I’m on the phone, I usually have to shut the door. I’m not sure how high up on the hill you have to go to avoid this. I’ll test it, though, when I get a chance.
ParticipantI think this is true. My kid went to public schools in an average San Diego County district. In my experience, the trick is to get them into the GATE program, if they qualify, in elem/mid school. These kids tend to stick together and go on to the AP courses in high school. I’m very satisfied with her education and she got into a great college.
ParticipantI’m another person who wants to buy in Bay Park. I own in an eastern suburb but work in the Morena District. At lunch, I drive around and agree with the rest of you…hardly anything is for sale. I saw one for-sale sign today but it was for one of those converted-to-condos 1BR/1BA. Can’t remember the street but I remember when they went on sale last year. They really had to slice the prices. Bay Park is such an ideal location no matter where you work.
ParticipantStan Sexton, the Realtor quoted in the article, found me my first home eons ago. It’s nice to see a Realtor telling it like it is.
