Participant[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]AN, perhaps far-reaching uninc areas of Poway could be considered “exurbs” but no, the other areas you mentioned are not exurbs. They are “suburban.”
RSF is situated inside a covenant. It is a different animal entirely.[/quote]
If only far-reaching uninc areas of Poway could be considered “exurbs”, then please tell me which part of that area of Poway have houses with <5000 sq-ft lot as the majority?BTW, let just be clear, you're saying that 4S Ranch is not exurb.[/quote]
4S is an "exurb." Its entire zip code was developed in the last 8 years or so. There was little to no development at all there. It was developed from nothing ... the same as Otay Ranch. No part of these communities are well-established.
The uninc area of Poway that is an "exurb" doesn't have too many tracts. The ones that are there are small tracts. This area is comprised of mostly customs. Persons who build custom homes do not waste their money building on minuscule lots.

Participant[quote=AN]BG, you didn’t mention anything about new vs old. You said “SD County “exurbs””.[/quote]
Almost all homes built on tract in SD County in the “exurbs” are fairly new (meaning built since 2000).

Participant[quote=CognitiveDissonance]When ever I see a headline about “plunging birthrates” it makes me happy. That’s because I look at things like carrying capacity and ecological footprint. Things like species extinction, loss of biodiversity, top soil erosion, access to clean water, energy depletion, deforestation and a list a mile and half long.
Interestingly the US has bucked the trend of the other mature industrialized countries. Thankfully most the world’s population growth is in dramatic decline that started in the 60s, with some going negative. All studies indicate this trend will continue and is speeding up. Max population numbers continually get lower as time goes on and data comes it. The best estimates now suggest a peak near mid-century, probably under 9 billion, and long decline after that.
This trend still does nothing to address the issues associated with massive over consumption and unsustainable nature of the whole project spiraling towards a social train wreck. For some reason, pointing this out, makes me a freak.
Interestingly, we have pushed this behavioral trajectory on “emerging economies” putting them on a collision course with the west in resource competition. Well, unless, we are going to get another earth to support these trajectories, it won’t end well.[/quote]
Good post, Arraya. You’re no “freak.”
I think the reason there are a LOT of children in CA, in particular, is due to immigration, both legal and illegal.
I just finished a pet-sitting job in a house with wa-a-a-a-y too much stuff in it, making it difficult to take care of the pets. The couple was elderly and enjoyed going to garage sales and thrift stores on the weekends. They aren’t the only ones I know with MASSIVE amounts of stuff stacked up to the rafters. For the life of me, how can a household of 1-4 people use or use up all this stuff in their lifetimes?? Most people can’t even park one vehicle in their garage. This “over-consumption” phenomenon cuts through all socioeconomic groups. In the WWII group (like my pet owners), I believe it stems from not having enough during the great depression (so they don’t want to run of anything now).
I’m with you in that I believe in preserving what resources we have left and living as “green” (and austere) as possible!
