ParticipantDo 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.

ParticipantHas SD ever had a truly destructive earthquake? Maybe the rates are what they are because people assume an earthquake would result in a house being totaled (like a car). I am only guessing, but in actuality, maybe only certain parts of a home will be affected and the insurance company will only spend the least amount to fix that portion. So 50k to fix over 50 years, but the damage was only 30k rather than a complete rebuild…
No idea. Considering it myself…

For me, I guess as long as I can rent somewhere decent, then buying isn’t an urgency. It would be nice to find something to buy close to what I’m renting in my area.[/quote]Exactly. I’m the same. I don’t need to buy to be happy. Just save the difference.[/quote]
I think in certain areas (coastal here probably, but definitely downtown San Francisco), it has NEVER been possible to buy for a price similar to rent. It was never meant to be like that in those areas and I don’t think it ever will be like that.

ParticipantGood call. The good thing is that when you come to resale this new home, potential buyers will also do a check so you would probably get a lower value if there a lot of folks on the list there next to the property…
Even though there are these folks in EVERY neighborhood, there is a matter of how many per population. As I mentioned in the Skyranch thread, we didn’t consider that area after looking at the numbers compared to other areas.
