ParticipantI agree with TG that Vail Ranch is a least desirable place to live if you’re south of Temecula Parkway.
I’d be fine over there of course since I enjoy snobbing among beer drinkin, foul smelling tow truck drivers 🙂
(Actually, I’d be fine renting a small room anywhere as I once did during my college days.)
However, my wife is very discerning and she would never live in Vail Ranch for exactly the reasons TG cited. We drove around there recently looking at houses and, yes, the variety of fences took on the semblage of a patch quilt. Add to that the inconsistent front lawns, fading paint, etc and Vail Ranch would be our last choice.
Coming from OC, Redhawk was our first choice. We kind of like the Stepford quality of life in Redhawk – where the boobs are bigger and the lawns are greener:)

ParticipantNope.
Something else I saw recently that shows to me we are still in for some bad times ahead is what I saw at a street corner recently.
I was heading toward the I15 freeway on 79 South and at the intersection, maybe the second intersection, before you get to the onramp, I saw a gentleman, maybe in his early 40s, late 30s, in suit and tie, I think balding if I remember correctly, standing there at 6:45-7am in the morning holding a sign that said something like, “Lost my job. Lots of Marketing experience.” and then a phone number at the bottom.
Did anyone else see this?
ParticipantNope.

ParticipantSomeone (Bob?) mentioned earlier that TV prices won’t stop falling until No.San Diego stops falling. I tend to agree with that perspective.
I’ve got neighbors who live here in TV but work in OC.
Economically, TV is sandwiched between OC and SD. Job losses in OC and SD exert downward pressure on houses in those geos but they also have an indirect effect on house prices in TV becuase of the people who live here but work outside the county.
I recently read an article in the OC Register about a CSUF projection of 20,000 jobs being lost in OC in 2009.
But “…As bleak as CSUF’s forecast was it was rosier than one released by the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp. forecast in February. The LAEDC’s forecast predicted Orange County would lose 43,200 jobs this year with employment continuing to drop in 2010, but at a slower pace.”

43,200 jobs lost in OC may not make a large ripple out here in TV but it will still reach us.
On another note, my teenage daughter went into the Buckles store at the Promenade mall for an interview. While she was there about 10-15 other women (middle age) came to interview for the same job. Although that’s just a snaphot in time it is a data point nevertheless. Middle age women, competing with teenagers for jobs in Temecula – just another data point.
