Every one if my family that bought there in the last 5 yrs is now in forclosure. Not one of them makes what I do, most are blue collar.
1 uncle is under water and in forclosure for 2 yrs now, another barrowed on HeLOCs and despite living in the same house for 20yrs, is just bearly hanging on. 2 cousins live with thier parents there, both grown adults with kids, the other 4 families moved to Ramona to escape the high prices to find themselves under water.
I seam to be the only one who can afford to live here, yet I’m the only one with enough sence to consider moving. I k ow this is the main stream among our 20 and 30 something friends.
I have 2 peers who can afford to live here and not be house poor. 1 is an ER dr, the other an engineer. The engineer is bearly holding on… He bought multiple properties in the boom.
It’s not a pretty picture in Sd for new families finically. Yet I’m the minority questioning the nonsense.
South of the 8 isn’t an option. Not when leaving the state is so much more financially prudent.
I layed down were I would consider living earlier in the thread. Poway, Ramona, Scripps and part of tierrasanta are the short list. I’m not out and out and in need of a home to live. I have options unlike those living paycheck to paycheck… Which is 95% of folks in my small world.

ParticipantIt’s musty mold. The same thing that happens with bathroom towels, they just don’t every dry out. The carpet always has a bit of moisture in it. The seaweed smell is another lively amenity.

ParticipantI’ve lived on the beach for a year, lived down town for 2, and put 5 years working in point Loma.
San Diego beaches stink, no really they stink. The musty smell hits you like a ton of bricks when entering homes 1-2 blocks from the surf.
9 months out of the year the water is too cold to go in or fish in. I put a GPS on my boat because well, “in San Diego you have to run a radar or GPS because of the fog layer”
If your not socked in fog in the AM you have the coastal layer to deal with most of he day. I think living on the beach is not the ideal, but only a pipe dream that folks make up in thief heads. The reality is colder days and cloudy days that block out the sun.
2-3 months in the summer is prime… If your parking spot doesn’t get stolen. Living on the SD beach was fun for 6 months until reality set in. Its not the tropical paradise that people make up in thier heads.

ParticipantAwsome post above. Thanks for taking the time to spell it out. I agree with a lot of it. I kinda feel like spoiled brat in saying half of it because I grew up here and part of me knows the temperate weather is worth something.
Until I’ve spent a winter were snow sticks to the ground for a month, I don’t think I can form an educated opinion. I guess I’m afraid… What happens if i did move, and I don’t like the cold after a couple of years. I gave up a swinging job for this?
Lame excuse to stay paralyzed in SD, especially if I have the means to leave comfortably.
