ParticipantYou forgot one:
… If you can pronounce Jamacha Road.
(Yes, this one actually got me when I was new here.)

ParticipantHahaha! Fun topic.
Ok, here I have one to share too. Check out the backyard photo for this one.
4755 BOXWOOD DR, SD – Clairemont Mesa, CA 92117
Ok, don’t laugh at me now, but I actually look at run down places like this and I see Nirvana. Yeah, true. Even though it looks terrible now, I can visualize a nice putting green over here, and a japanese fish pond there, or a garden and a kids play house back there.
I would get a large ugly place for cheap and turn in to my own haven.

ParticipantThe story goes that Archimedes figured out the best way of determining whether a crown was made of pure gold.
Method:
Weigh the object. From this the mass is calculated – mass = weight/gravity.
Immerse the object in water. Note the volume of water before the object, then note the volume of water after the object is immersed – this difference is the same as the volume of the object.
Now solve for the density. density = mass/volume.
Then compare to the density of gold found in text books.

ParticipantI know in Clairemont they have been taking many houses off the MLS but keeping the For Sale signs up. When I see a house taken off the MLS, I first check Zillow.com to see if it was sold and for how much. If it doesn’t show up as sold I drive by and usually see the For Sale sign still swinging in the breeze. Also, some of the houses have been rented.
And even a few are still attempting the remodel and flip scam that is sooooo yesterday.
I have a sneaky suspicion that the lenders are holding back many of their REOs and listing only a few to try and keep the appearance of lower inventory. By the end of this year, there will be so many foreclosures, they won’t be able to do this anymore.
Perhaps these same things are happening in the zip codes you mention.

Participant“Well, I meant when they could make commercial aircraft sufficiently capable that they needed to buy nothing from Boeing, apparently the only hard good the US makes the Chinese need right now.”
————————————————————-Actually, China is building a section of the new Boeing 787 coming out soon. They make the rudder if I remember right.
Anyway, the entire 787 is a globalized effort. The wings are made in Japan, the fuselage in Italy, the cockpit in Wichita KS, the flaps made by Hawker deHaviland (in England? not sure). Some parts are made here in Chula Vista too, by Goodrich. Then all the pieces are airlifted to Seattle for final assembly.
