Our kids attended “Ivies” for a variety of reasons, and the grandparents picked up the tab by choice. It’s worked out well for them, and seems to have made a huge difference in their careers and lives. Is the investment worth the price?–some say yes–others, no.

Everyone wants different things in life, and, imo, as long as your kids achieve their goals–that’s what really matters–regardless of how they get there.

So true concerning MV and Malibu (we’ve actually considered moving to “The Bu”)–and agree both have residents with deep pockets. We’ll just have to wait and see how all of this plays out in “The Valley.”

Per my original comment, I agree concerning the outcome FIH. I think it will be a very difficult fight for the opposition–but we may be surprised.

I can tell you from the friends we have in the area– the opponents of this project are very passionate about defeating it–probably more so than those of us who have rentals there and have adjusted to the fact that we can “live with it,” or others who prefer density, and yet others who don’t live there, but will frequent the facilities. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

“The number of U.S. households with a net worth of $1 million or more, excluding primary residence, was 9.63 million in 2014.” According to a new report from Spectrem Group, a consulting and research firm.

A far lower number than I would have expected–considering all of the market “fanfare” of the past several years.

Many variables will, no doubt, effect the outcome if this is put to a vote. You can bet big bucks will definitely come into play, and the voting public at large, who have no real vested interest in the outcome, other than viewing it as a “new place to shop and eat,” could skew the results in an unexpected way.

Whichever way it goes, I’m all for putting One Paseo on the ballot, and letting “the people,” rather than the city council decide the fate of this project.

We visit family in Sunset Cliffs and Point Loma quite often, and have noticed lots of changes going on near both areas. Your detailed “report” definitely shows much needed gentrification is taking place. Interesting info.

My Dad was on the golf course the day he passed on at 89, and my Mom lived into her 80’s as well. If they weren’t traveling, they were out dancing, socializing, championing new causes, etc., etc. right up to the end.

My wife and I love living life to the max as well, and have taken on new projects to keep it fresh and exciting, along with all of the family stuff, and everything else we do.

In our society, it’s easy to feel irrelevant as you get older, but definitely not necessary. Getting older will happen to everyone who is lucky enough to live that long.

IMHO, what matters is making the most of the time we have here–whatever that means to each person–and even at best, none of us really knows how long or short that may be.

Not that many years ago, AMEX balances had to be paid off each month. They didn’t issue cards that allowed you to carry a balance, but, to increase their market share, they came up with a variety of other options.

Even though we plan to keep ours, I agree that this current interest rate move is pretty extreme, but they are still great cards with great benefits, if you pay the balance off each month. If not, there are probably better options out there.

Hope you’re right, TS, but that’s just not what I’m hearing from developers, and/or others. They see a “priced out” scenario in the future–even factoring in “crashes.” Again, only time will tell.

I understand all of that FIH, but the “buildable” land available and other factors may continue to cause San Diego to become less and less affordable. I’m just stating what many “in the know” clearly see coming. Don’t shoot the messenger.

[flyer]

With so little “buildable” land left, I think projects like this will be self-limiting going forward.

Affordability is another issue, and I expect San Diego will become less and less affordable for more and more people as time goes on.

flu, having interacted with people from multiple perspectives, I can understand the thoughts of those who were “for” “against” and “neutral” concerning this project.

As always, you make many excellent points, but everyone has their own reasons for feeling the way they do about One Paseo–rational or otherwise–and, IMHO, only time will reveal how all of this will actually play out. If it is to be, I hope it works out well for everyone.

At one point, yes, flu, when friends who still live there became so concerned about it–we rallied with them against it–based on “quality of life issues,” as have been discussed.

I have read/heard that over 40K people are expected to move to San Diego this year, with more and more in the future, but, even though projects like One Paseo will help accomodate this need for housing, and may not adversely effect property values, I think it will change the quality of life in “The Valley” (great satire, BTW). Hopefully, most of it will be positive, but only time will tell.

We’ve been out of town, but just heard the news from a friend that it was approved, with just two “no” votes. Lots of info available on the Internet about it.

We’ve decided to keep the rentals we own in CV, and see how all of this develops as time goes on.

[flyer]

Just because some prefer a beautiful and tranquil home and property “away from it all,” doesn’t mean we don’t also enjoy spending time in the vibrant and exciting atmosphere of “bright lights and big cities.” I think it’s definitely possible to enjoy both lifestyles.

Concerning One Paseo. More should be known about the status of the project next week, and, depending on the outcome, everyone will be able to decide what they feel is best to do from that point on.
