[quote=bearishgurl][quote=jstoesz]Yeah I am not even considering it. I just thought the house was ridiculously awesome and felt the need to share it. I seriously doubt we will be in Placerville long term, it is more of an extended adventure than a new home. And the decision is far from exclusively mine. I’d like to say decision is a collaboration, but on where we live, I think the wife usually and properly has more pull.[/quote]

Yeah, jstoesz, it’s ridiculously cheap (by coastal stds . . . lol). I’m just wondering how the commute back and forth to East Sac everyday is going to work out for you and your spouse. Are you aware that there could be several instances per year that US 50 could be closed below Placerville due snowstorms or inability to plow? How ya gonna get out??

Have you considered renting in Grass Valley for awhile? You might like it. I think you could find a rental there that is not on tract.[/quote]

No my job is in cameron park and my wife’s is in el dorado hills. Both of our commutes should be ~15mins without traffic or severe weather. And if we are snowed in…I can think of no better excuse not to go to work. I miss snow days.

[quote=briansd1]In many ways, I agree with you, jstoesz.

We are going down the road of Japan. It’s less painful in the short term.[/quote]

Without a doubt it is less painful. And it is also possible our economy would never have survived. I doubt it, because the people saying it would have been bankrupt, and instead got the cheese. But it is possible, we would have turned into Iceland…

[quote=flu][quote=bearishgurl][quote=jstoesz]Not that I am buying in Placerville, but this home is so cool. On some level, I love garish 60’s homes. The more over the top, the better!

Wow, now that’s a lot of bang for the buck, jstoesz!! Maybe you SHOULD consider making an offer on it. Better see how your day-to-day commute pans out to/from East Sac first . . . lol!

I don’t think it’s garish. Luv all the picture windows and stone kitchen hearth. The accoustical ceiling with the dark beams is a little much, but this can be fixed. As can the few remaining aluminum sliders. And it’s downtown, to boot. Wonder if it’s walking distance to the locomotives and antique shops (similar to dtn La Mesa?? . . . lol!)

There’s more room there then you’ll probably ever need for a price you could never touch on the coast. And design galore to boot!!!

Have fun in Placerville, jstoesz! It’s truly a “different world” up there!![/quote]

I wouldn’t. you’re not planning to stay there a long time, you might not be able to rent it out with a + cash flow….Also, you have the significant other “factor” to consider since the decision most likely isn’t going to be exclusively yours.[/quote]

Sorry to hear it CAR, this issue has always bothered me. It is a serious one, but I wonder if things like Megan’s law website has brought offenders disproportionately to the forefront of our knowledge. Kind of like a person who is afraid to fly looking up plane crashes reports on thier iphone in the taxiway. So I am tempted to stick my head in the sand and pretend it could never happen (based on the numbers, this is pretty rational).

Than again when I look for a place to live, am I going to look and see if there are any offenders near by? Of course, and I will probably freak the crap out of myself when I do. I already try to get my wife to run with mace (sometimes having a cute wife is a serious cause for worry).

So basically, I don’t know. Oh, and the whole John Gardner thing didn’t help at all.
