ParticipantI agree with JustLurking. My company is not in SD (closest offices are in Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, or Camarillo) but I work from home with a team of mostly all remote employees from all over the country. Over the past year we have hired 6 contractors on our team. All but 1 of those contractors are people someone on the team knew and had worked with in the past. And of all of the full time employees already working on the team, ALL of us knew someone professionally. It’s a large corporation so 3 people have to be considered and interviewed for every spot but it’s all about who you know when it comes to getting hired.
Outside of my company, I have not heard any good news for IT jobs out there. I know someone who took a programming job in Irvine recently for almost 1/2 of what he was making and was happy to just get a job at this point.

ParticipantSounds like a lot of these neighborhoods suck. Write down the addresses so we know where to avoid. 😉
My neighbors and my neighborhood are great but I agree that it makes a difference what you put into it. Also no HOA here and obviously no gates (well some people have personal ones) which may make things more friendly. I have lived here since 1996 and know a ton of neighbors and their families on a first name basis. The neighborhood is a mix of all different ages and incomes as well if you think about the fact that there are a lot of original owners who bought in the early to mid 70’s. If we are out front, which my husband is a lot since he’s a really handy guy, we end up chit chatting with the neighbors. In fact I walk with another neighbor (further away neighbor, not in this immediate neighborhood) and I secretly sometimes hope other neighbors aren’t out when I power walk to meet her halfway because we’re bound to get caught up in conversation and I’ll be late! The next upgrade to our house is going to be a front porch. I think neighborhoods would be more friendly if everyone was hanging out there. We don’t have a dog but we’re out walking, biking, rollerblading, etc. often so we know all the neighborhood dog walkers well. 99% of the dogs and owners are great but we did have one run in with a big dog who was not on a leash a while ago. My husband had some words for that lady and she has kept him on a leash at least when we are around ever since. Sorry, your dog had better be flawless if it’s not on a leash around my kids and I don’t fault the dog, I fault the owner.
There is one neighbor who is a problem and it is this neighbor who made me finally register at Piggington because I had to ask a question. But he is insane (clinically) and threatened to sue us over his lost ocean view (which we think he lost c. 1985). We called his bluff and nothing happened and I literally haven’t seen the guy in over a year and a half. He is bipolar and he must have sunk back into a depression and never leaves his house anymore which is mainly what he has done since I have lived here.
