[quote=flu][quote=eavesdropper]Thanks so much for posting this article, flu. I would have definitely missed it on my own.[/quote]

It’s just really sad to read about this. I’m not dissying being a nurse (which is what she has to be). It just infurriates me that when our government budgets gets cut, education is the first thing to go. Only third world countries do this.[/quote]

I’m late in reading this thread. It is disheartening. I thought maybe the story was going to be about how kids don’t want to learn, are disruptive brats, etc. Every time I hear about cuts to education, I cringe. And I don’t even have kids. This is how our system is and it’s demoralizing. Like they want people to be stupid. I hope this woman goes back to teaching and finds a better paying job during the summer to supplement her income.

[quote=sdrealtor]One of my friends had a wedding party at a friend of his’s home up in Santa Monica 3 weeks ago that I went to. It was a 1BR/1BA house on a gated property of about 15,000 sq ft lot with pool/spa, outdoor kitchen and a 5 car garage. He remodelled the place to be the ultimate bachelor pad and it was stunning. It had a batting cage too.[/quote]
I hope my DH has gone back to reading his motor blogs and doesn’t stumble upon this thread, LOL.

I am going to second the comment about inspections being a croc.

We had an inspector come check our place out and gave the A-OK. Giving also the standard CYA clause.

I smelled gas in the house. No one else did. Then, another inspector comes out, FHA inspector and smells gas. Well, so it’s not in my head. LA hires a HVAC guy to come check it out. Everything A-OK. SDGE comes turns on the gas after we had closed and moved in. Checks for any leaks w/the sniffer. Everything A-OK.

Meanwhile, I’m still smelling gas. I have my husband pressure test the line. Whoooooosh. We thereafter got the leak fixed. Judging from where it was, probably been there for 30 years.

Inspections are a formality and then when you move in, that’s when you really begin to discover things that are wrong w/it.

[quote=svelte]That being said, I would probably either choose a large lot with the cheapest house in RSF (so I could build a huge garage for the purchase of more decadent cars)….[/quote]

I’m certain that’s what my DH would want and he’d have a say about it. Heck, even in our search now, his dream home is a one bedroom, one bath, 5 car garage. 😉
