[quote=sunny88]You can detest the networking as much as you want but the fact is that’s how our society works. People with connections are more successful in doing most things whether it’s something ethical or not.[/quote]

Agreed, networking is much more important than intelligence, dilligence or honesty.

[quote=Misheloff]No I only left Santee a three years ago. Just sticking some nice buildings in the Santee Town Center is kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. You may have an Olive Garden, but you still live amongst mutants.[/quote]

I think it will take a few more years before we see a real difference. Santee is clearly changing to a more attractive and liveable city. It will never be like La Jolla where the “more-better” folks live but it can transform to a safe and nice town for middle class people who don’t mind living with more “traditional” folks.

[quote=Misheloff]We made the mistake of living in Santee for a short period of time. The schools are *dreadful*.

We ended up moving to Rancho Bernardo so that our daughter wouldn’t have to grow up with the substandard education available in Santee. Its not so much the schools, but the low caliber of kids (due to the low caliber of parenting) in the schools. Teachers pretty much have to teach to the median, and the median was very, very low. (My wife volunteered at the school…not a pleasant experience).

Beyond that, even if you live in oh so wonderful Sky Ranch, you are still amongst the denizens of the rest of Santee. That means seeing barefoot kids in the grocery store, tattoed, toothless people around town, and a 20 minute drive to the nearst place to get a decent steak.

If you have low standards for your environment, your kids future, and your general existence, Sky Ranch and the upcoming 110 degree temperatures through san Santee summer may be for you.[/quote]

Your observations are very critical. I must assume that you lived in Santee a long time ago? The city has a lot of nice stores and restaurants now and most of the homeowners who have contributed here are very happy.

There are much better matches with great teams to come. The US team was not expected to advance much further anyway. The interest will remain high.
