Good perspectives about gated communities and neighborliness. It’s my first time in a gated community and some of the behaviors seem odd to me, like people stopping at the mailbox and then driving to their house about 300ft away. Then their is the couple who drive their car at least once a day to their parent’s house about 6 houses down instead of walking and no they are not disabled. Picture a street of 2,000 sq ft tract homes and it would take you less than 5 minutes to walk 6 houses down. I’m not being a busybody but I can’t help but notice this since it all happen right in front of me as I look outside the window as I type.

Thanks for the all the info on brands of water heaters. What’s the best way to go about finding a plumber to install it? I know the obvious answer would be to ask neighbors, but people in my condo complex don’t make eye contact, know your name and pretty much keep to themselves. It’s like living in a gated community where when the car enters the garage, the garage door immediately shuts. Should I ask the property manager for a recommendation or would that be biased name?

A rant to those who say it’s foolish to pay higher than book value for a fuel efficient car. I think these cars will only become more valuable as time progresses. Pretty soon any vehicle that gets under 30mpg will go the way of the 8 track, cassette tape, and carburetor and only fetch pennies on the dollar. Unfortunately, there aren’t many cars at the present time the average American consumer can buy that will retain their high value and are fuel efficient. Even going to run some quick errands in your neighborhood now in your standard automobile isn’t cost effective. Sometimes it costs you as much to go to the store as the item you are going to get.

I forsee the next shoe to drop in this poor economy is the American automobile that gets under 30mpg. Many more will be affected by this than the current housing crisis. It will probably take as long to sell your rapidly depreciating automobile as it will your tract home in the outer suburbs. Pity those who are leasing.

Thoughts on this? Do you all think SUV and large sedan (even Lexus’) values are in for a big tumble and would it be wise to sell them now?

Good point about the apartment complexes along Sierra Avenue. A lot of them are too close for comfort to the bluff and will require expensive seawalls in the future. One can only imagine the assesment for each unit in those complexes. The age and unexpected maintenance costs of the complexes brings about high periodic special asessments for electrical, roofing, balconies etc. All this and most of the units aren’t even occupied full time, so the two week a year and part time residents are subsidizing the full timers who probably don’t put much wear and tear on the complex at all since they’re the cranky and conscientous type.

The beach below these complexes is one of the best in North County in my opinion and the access is superb. Sierra does need to be cleaned up a little but in a way those trailer parks do remind me of when Solana Beach used to be a sleepy beach town. I hope it remains relatively low key in the future.
