Participant[quote=UCGal]Your kidding about them moving Las Colinas, right?
NO neighborhood wants a prison in their backyard. It’s already in Santee – and it seems extremely unlikely that it will be moved to someone elses backyard. NIMBYism will prevent it. Where are they going to move it? It has to be central enough to get to the 3 courthouses in the county (downtown San Diego, El Cajon, North County). Santee fits that bill.
I think the people of Santee need to be comfortable with Las Colinas – they’re going to coexist as long as we need a womens detention center.
Santee is nice enough. I’m not a Santee basher. Las Colinas wouldn’t be a deciding factor if I were looking there. One of my extended family is looking at REOs out there.[/quote]
You are correct, UCGal, IMO the law is on the side of the County here.

(I noticed Flu’s post of last night [above] referring to the same article in this link after I posted.)
Santee has historically been one of the absolute CHEAPEST places to buy raw land in the entire county, due to a variety of factors (heat, air pollution, lack of zoning, etc). In short, it fails the “location, location, location” test.
No doubt Lennar purchased the land to develop Sky Ranch dirt cheap (esp. since they had to cut off the top of one of Santee’s surrounding mtns (which sock it in with air pollution). There are absolutely no sales comparables in Santee to support Lennar’s purported asking prices here. They have obviously over-developed for the area. The $3,300+ a month that SkyRanchOwner posted is an ASTRONOMICAL monthly cash outlay to live in SANTEE!! SkyRanchOwner may have a large house, but IMHO a $600K+ purchase price will buy a VERY well-located property with LAND (1/4 AC – 1 AC) in SD County. Well-located LAND is generally MORE VALUABLE THAN ANY lot in a *NEW* subdivision. With a $323 mo. HOA fee, SkyRanchOwner could purchase A LOT of home improvement products EACH MONTH to fix up a large cosmetic fixer on LAND and she/he would be giving back to THEMSELVES every month in the form of sweat equity instead of an “HOA.”
No offense to any Piggs here but even though many businesses have moved into Santee in the last 20 years, its topographical, geographical and zoning issues render it as having what we refer to in RE parlance as “economic obsolescence.”

ParticipantNot to continue the “threadjacking,” my opinion is that BillS78 seems to be “proud of himself” for “strategic default” when he is busy “putting and calling” his way into oblivion. The truth is, his credit is SHOT. I choose to enjoy my 804 FICO score. BobS78 WILL get his Karma. Thank you and good night!

ParticipantUC Gal, I too, have resisted any add-ons to my cell phone service (cheap, voice only) and have been “out of contract” for more than two years. My “Walkman” phone is still great (for me) cuz it is my “i-pod” and camera too, and is brand new still because it has been in a case since I got it (over 4 yrs. ago). However, some of the new phones do look appealing to me for the wi-fi access so I will probably end up purchasing an UNLOCKED one thru e-bay by the end of the year and just moving my chip to it. Then I will enjoy the wi-fi for e-mail, etc. wherever I can hook up for free, incl. my home. It’s not worth it to me to enter into another contract where AT&T blocks the true capabilities of the phone so they can charge you a min. of $720 (for a 2 yr. contract) to get SOME OF them back.
If you already have the phone you want and it is out of warranty, you can buy the software to unlock your phone for a nominal fee and simply “flash” it. This voids your “warranty.” Actually, I have never known any who ruined their phone by “flashing” it to strip it of the carrier’s proprietary operating system. After flashing, you can load it with any operating system compatible with it.

Participant[quote=SD Realtor]. . . There are times when we are researching what is going to sell at auction we come across homes already sold and closed escrow.[/quote]
SDRealtor, it sounds like a lot of lenders are falling down on the job. IMHO, if these incompetent lenders would have just exercised their timely rights to a non-judicial foreclosure prior to all this “government intervention,” perhaps all the blood in the streets would have been washed down the storm drains by now. We might have now been referred to as “SD by the red sea” in the popular media, but we would have at least been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, i.e. a semblance of health being restored to the local real estate market.
