Participantearlyretirement, it sounds like you have scoped out Santaluz pretty well. I’ve met the visionary architect who conceived it a decade ago when he explained his philosophy in a speech a year ago. It really will not be replicated this close to the coast because it is so low density and gated–two trends the planning authorities are discouraging.
The CC&Rs are wickedly demanding and bug some people who didn’t know they were giving up certain freedoms to live in Santaluz. You can’t paint your house non-approved colors, or change the architecture except in specified way while going through an expensive vetting process, or park a company pickup or van in your driveway, or have a barking dog, or leave your garbage bin out more than 48 hours, or put it anywhere in your yard visible from the street, or park your car in the street overnight (in parts of Santaluz), or have bright outdoor lights. On the latter point, Santaluz is a “dark sky” community, so driving around or taking walks at night is a unique experience. Not many places in San Diego can you truely see the moon and stars. My wife and I love all these restrictions–but they are clearly not for everyone.Participantearlyretirement, it sounds like you have scoped out Santaluz pretty well.

Comparisons of college grad lifetime earnings compared to H.S. grad lifetime earnings are flawed in many ways.
Entering college freshment need to be informed of these realities before they take on a mountain of debt, and parents have a responsibility to weigh in on these decisions. Some majors–and we can all name them–are pretty useless in finding a job above the barista level.ParticipantTrue, sdr, but it increasingly matters what major one picks when in college, not just whether one has a degree or not.

It is a blow to their ego, and a failure to recognize that the labor market has changed and this is the new normal. Sadly, they sit in the unemployment pool for months or years holding unrealistic expectations while their work skills and mental and physical condition deteriorates.
Over-50 job seekers that claim discrimination should realize that employers have many choices available to them. Employers understandably pick younger workers with years of increasing productivity ahead of them instead of years of decreasing productivity. PS: I’m in the latter category.ParticipantNewly unemployed workers do not want to admit it when they are worth less than what they earned in their previous jobs.

Removing the old and upgrading the whole thing with frameless, perhaps 1/4″ or thicker clear glass can get pretty expensive, easily $500 or more, and is a worthwhile investment only in a higher-end house.
You can take pictures and measurements and bring them into a glass company to get an estimate without paying for a service call. They have catalogues to show you all the options. -
