Allan,

Can’t we just jam to the upbeat Ray Charles – “I’m busted”?

In another sign of desperate times, a delegation from CA goes to Texas to beg Perry for job advice and this shocking quote emerges – “I don’t think Jerry Brown wants California to fail on his watch,” Perry said at the meeting. “We need a strong California in this country.”

[quote=earlyretirement]Thanks so much SD Realtor. Yeah, it looks like that was when things really started growing but I was surprised I couldn’t find out on Google when that road went in.

I know Santaluz takes a lot of flack but it still looks like a really nice area but I hope prices continue to fall before we move out there later this Fall.

I saw this house as well online located a few doors down. Looks beautiful but I imagine they will have problems selling as well due to the proximity to Camino del Sur.

I talked to a few realtors and they said buyers are really turned off by the high HOA fees of $450 a month plus the high Mello Roos taxes.

Thanks again.[/quote]
That second house is far enough away from the street. I just happened to be walking down long stretch of Del Sur searching for gold coins on a Friday night last month at 9PM and that street is really quiet, only one lane in each direction. I would bet that even the house facing street wouldn’t be that noisy, but in this market you can be more picky.

This may be my faux pas for mentionion it, but did you reveal your sympathies with proletariat class with Upton Sinclair/ Sinclair Lewis Freudian slip? So melancholy, can’t we get an Updike reference once?[/quote]

Equalizer: Excellent catch there, bub. Wow, my Freudian slip is showing, isn’t it?

I actually like both authors very much, and, speaking of religious hypocrisy and mass manipulation (a la Glenn Beck, though he’s fading fast, thank God), we should also mention “Elmer Gantry” as a must read. Excellent book (and a good movie, too, with Burt Lancaster) and just as relevant today.[/quote]
Haven’t read the book, but Lancaster was just amazing in the movie. Can’t believe it was published in 1927; doubt it would be published today.

Ah, the sweet smell of “reductio ad Hitlerum”. Nothing like resurrecting Herr Schicklgruber to draw a truly odious comparison. Godwin’s Law writ large.

Of course, if we all read “Mother Jones” and the “Utne Reader” regularly, wore sensible shoes (Birkenstocks) and ate a healthy diet comprised of fruits, nuts and flakes, well, everything would be just groovy.

If we’re going for required reading that’s actual useful, how’s about Upton Sinclair’s 1935 classic, “It Can’t Happen Here”? Or, Arthur Koestler’s “Darkness at Noon”?

The fact is, the lunatics on the Right are matched by the lunatics on the Left. Both radicalized elements are terrified of the truth (“A Million Dead At Chernobyl!!!”) and will use whatever cheap rhetorical devices are at hand to attempt to discredit their foes. Facts, however, are not so much in evidence.

The Hitler Jugend? Really? Why not Komsomol? Or, if you want a really nefarious bunch, how about the friggin’ Boy Scouts of America? That oughta really get your Lefty blood boiling![/quote]

All you gotta do is repackage the “It Can’t Happen Here – Its happening!” by replacing names with President Obama, Frank, Geithner, etc and put Beck’s name as updated author and you have guaranteed best-seller with 7 figure advance.
