[quote=carlsbadworker]I wanted to check out PF Chang the other day and was told the wait is two hours. So at least PFCB is making money.

Yeah, Temecula/Murrieta is really growing.

PF Changs seats how many people? 100? 135?

In a city population of what? 100,000 ?

So that makes it 1/1000th of the city population spending their money at PF Changs. BFD.

Throw in Murrtown’s population of another 100,000 and that makes it 1 in 2000 of the local pop are eating at PFC. Again, BFD.

I also live in Redhawk. I’m renting this year and last year. I’ve got several neighbors who also rent these 3000+ sqft homes because they lost their own. Houses nearby still have the realtor’s locks on them for 4-5 months with no For Sale signs going up. House prices still dropping in the Fairways gated area. Another neighbor just had her husband walk out on her and her kids. Another family friend declared BK last year and said they have more than a couple friends in town who have done the same. Probably 30% of the houses on my street are renters. Another neighbor of mine is fearful of losing their job and said we were smart to have sold our house early 2008. I’ve got other neighbors who aren’t paying their prop taxes for the last 2-3 times – I checked, they’re behind.

I think there’s still a lot of hidden pain here in terms of higher Unemployment and decreasing home values in Temecula/Murrtown area.

I’m going to wait this out. Been seeing more low lifes lately. The deterioration is not over.

Wow. I cant believe its standing room only in here 🙂

Someone asked about unionizing programmers, DBA’s, network engineers, etc.

Take a look at the Electrical Workers Union. They have network engineers who belong to the union who get paid overtime if they “decide” to work after hours if a server or the network goes down.

It’s a problem because an IT director – not me – has to design systems that are redundant so that they can avoid having to be dependent on unionized workers who are protected from being laid off even if they dont want to come in and work the overtime when servers or the network is down.

If the auto workers or actors union doesn’t agree with the latest contract then they go on strike and the only result is reduced output of manufactured automobiles or movies or scripts in the case of screenwriters guild strike.

But if DBAs, network engineers, and other technologist’s Union – EWU in this case – doesnt agree with contracts with cities and counties then what happens when the City’s or County’s department servers and networks go down during a strike?

The city/county basically shuts down and goes back to paper mode. And who wants to go back to those days?

But if you – as in IT Director – do have to work with Unionized programmers, DBAs, network Engineers, etc then you sure as heck better design fully redundant systems to protect you during those strikes.

Congrats TG.

Sounds like you got a winner of a deal. I hope to use your benchmark as a template for my jump back into the market sometime in 2009 or possibly 2010.

Though we may differ on a couple philosophical points I’ve always enjoyed your posts.

23109, you can indeed rent a “…bigger better house in the same area for 2k.”

I rent a 3000+ sq.ft. house, 5+BR, 3.5+BA, 3 car garage, in Redhawk area for $2000/month. Also have a pool and spa. But I do my own lawn service and pool service. Not a bad deal.
