11) Two new properties should be included in the new version.
“Sky Ranch”: It should be positioned right between to Boardwalk and Park Place, aka “Boardwalk adjunct” and never depreciate.
“Pell Place”: It should be positioned next to Free Parking, presumably next to a TBD build luxury theater.[/quote]
Stop that FLU! I just spit my diet coke on screen. Any suggestions as to how one cleans it off.[/quote]
Gotta agree with where you placed Skyranch considering it’s only a 10 mile stroll from Boardwalk.

I love this city. It in most ways it is far superior to Minneapolis. I have visions of raising my kids competitively sailing in SD bay. Visions of teaching them to surf at pipes. I lived for two years on a boat off shelter Island which is one of the greatest experiences of my life. It is amazing! I would be hard pressed to find a more amazing city in the country. I love it here.
But the cost of living is prohibitive to a family oriented, single income earning, private school provided life style that I badly want to provide. Maybe I will strike it rich in my next company or the one after that.
I badly want to settle here. In many ways more than Minneapolis, but it is filled with fiscal retardation not found in most other places.[/quote]
Maybe this really just boils down to where you want to spend your money. As I mentioned in a few of my other posts, maybe you simply don’t want to pay to play, but that’s just you and plenty of other people seem to be willing to spend more for their housing here. It really is just what it is. Some people simply won’t ever want to pay to live here, so be it.
I tend to not agree with BG much at all, but I liked her post copying all your text. It sounds more like a rant against all California people being idiots and how they all suck. Maybe it has more to do with how society in general is now vs. CA or MN or any other place in the past I think. I agree people are not the same as 30 or 50 years ago, but that’s all over I feel.
With all the free time and goofing off at work, there’s just more time to rant and rave it seems. I think plenty of CA folks are pretty well and managing their finances just fine, esp on a site like this.
Lastly, there are plenty of places in SD where things are affordable and you can still DRIVE to the beach to do all those beach things you mentioned. Sure, it’s not the nicest place, but hell, you make compromises based on what you want and where you want to spend your money.
Another thing is you want to spend money on private schools for your kids. That’s a choice. I spent 7 years in private school, probably didn’t help me one bit compared to public back then. That said, we plan to send our kids to public school here, again our choice. Without the private school, I think someone (flu?) calculated it was in excess of 200k or even more.
A total waste of money IMO, but again, your choice and your money. The rants against all the people of CA certainly doesn’t make you seem half as wise as your earliest posts since it’s all coming off as bitterness now at this point at everything and everyone here.
A bit sad, but maybe moving up to sac town would allow you learn a few things before moving back down here that “maybe”, CA or SD isn’t so bad as you thought.
This is also why if folks just focus on a home being a place to live in, at least buy just 1 place and if housing goes up or down, your property will move with the market and you can sell it and upgrade (keep payments the same) or sell it for less and buy another place for less as well.

Participant[quote=jstoesz]This is the statement that kicked off this fun fest…
[quote]So either the place is swimming with imported retirees which in Clairemont I highly *DOUBT*. [/quote]You are killing me. My point is that 55419 is not a place that imports retirees either, many of its residences have been there for 40, 50 years too! NEITHER place imports retirees. The median age is the same! Therefore, your argument about old people living there does not compute. It is spurious because the both zips have similar age demographics. Just like every other neighborhood in the country, except the La Jolla’s and palm springs of the world. We are comparing apples to apples in terms of demographics…but one is twice as expensive.
In other words, old people are not why Clairemont is expensive.[/quote]
So many messages on this topic, but in terms of neighborhoods, Clairemont and pretty much all of San Diego, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area has a net immigrant population vs. 55419 (MN). It doesn’t have to be retirees.
Retirees and some people simply would refuse to live in MN for the cold alone. Asian people probably would refuse to move to other areas where there are fewer asians for fear of more discrimination. There’s also no Ranch 99 market. 🙂
The food shopping is certainly a point any Chinese person brings up when they move to some far off locale. You hear it all the time from folks who leave CA.
“Yeah, Las Vegas is ok, we just got our 1st 99 Ranch store.”
You can replace Las Vegas with any place like Houston, Seattle, etc…
In my previous job, over 50% of the employees came from another country or state…I don’t know how true that is for MN since MN is simply (very much IMO) not on the map for most folks I don’t think unless you grew up there.

November 12, 2010 at 6:25 AM in reply to: OT: Estimated state budget deficit reaches $25.4 billion #629935ParticipantDo people think Whitman would’ve had a better chance to win in the Senate race vs. the governor race?
There is a big difference in the 2 positions, but it seems elections are won by who people hate less / lesser of two evils and a lot of folks probably didn’t vote for Fiorina for what happened at HP and I didn’t vote for her for that reason as well.
