41k for a volt? Wow, who would toss that kind of money at that thing (apologies to anyone who has). When the volt was originally in concept, it looked solid. Once it hit the market, it looked like the rest of chevy’s plastic arsenal. My personal opinion is they could have really done some damage with that car if it was visually striking but they failed miserably. If you are truly interested in electric, why not hold out for a tesla model s? I am putting off a second car for the household as long as I can and that is hopefully long enough to get in on a second phase of the model s (helps to work from home and have my parents handicap van as a free car when necessary).

Go Aztecs (for the wife), Go Bonnies (for me)! I was pulling for the Shockers yesterday but they couldnt pull it out.

[quote=powercables]Oh! I think you have already got a variety of information regarding the best place to buy television……. so leaving apart all these i only suggest you to please have a cool study of the products accessories. Whenever your going to buy a LCD or LED or PLASMA just take care whether its perfect wall mounts are available in market or not. Likewise many things are there to consider i.e. thorough study of manuals, other cable accessories, etc

power cables[/quote]

Monoprice.com – Never use any other place to buy mounts or cables.

“The tax board had planned to enforce compliance by adding three lines to 2011 state-tax returns that would require property owners to show their parcel number, total property tax bill and the deductible amount. But it postponed those changes until 2012 returns. This year, it is hoping to educate the public and tax preparers. It estimates that voluntary compliance could generate about $20 million in additional tax revenue this year.”

Nothing like announcing this a week into filings. It was awful nice of them to back down on enforcement for this year for people that had already filed.

[quote=mrstone]We went to look at arbor ranch today and love the idea of living in new AFFORDABLE construction but have similar concerns. We were originally looking into SEH but am even more concerned about the former landfill surrounding that area. The details about the landfill and its borders are very hard to find. Does anyone have more info on it?[/quote]

Havent heard of any ill effects of anyone living near it in SEH since 2001. I have only lived here two years now but know people who bought in 2001. There are methane deposits under 4s ranch and plenty of covered up landfills across america.

Another vote for sheldon. He did my original loan and refi. Hes excellent, overly informative and all of his staff/people he works with are overly informative. Its nice to get that straight shooting informative type these days. I have referred him countless times.

Sheldon you rule, thanks again! San Elijo Kyle

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=LAAFTERHOURS]a house in Chevy Chase or Gtown for 199? Where do I sign up? Original poster mentioned transition area so I assume it wouldnt be either of those places.

My guess is someplace outside the beltway based on the price point…[/quote]

I was thinking it might be a foreclosed thrashed condo, perhaps even in Arlington. If I worked in DC, I wouldn’t live “outside the beltway” for any price. That area has *serious* traffic to contend with on a daily basis (even on weekends). The traffic in SD County, CA doesn’t hold a candle to it.

I would pay what it took to obtain a close-in property in as best of shape as I could afford and deal with the repairs one by one . . . but that’s just me.

In any case, congrats on your purchase, patb![/quote]

Im well aware of the traffic – lived there 2004 through 2006. Rented and owned outside the beltway and it drove us nuts. The original poster said house so i assumed he meant detached.

[quote=sdrealtor]FWIW SEH is nowhere near done with distress. i know several people there deeply underwater with good jobs planning to walk or short sale. One in particular has a great job but just cant justify being over $200K upside down with no hope in sight. The new homes selling without MR are putting even more pressure on people like him.[/quote]

I have witnessed this in some respects. I know people in my neighborhood are in still locked into interest only’s and they cant refi at todays low rates because they are underwater. Most of them arent thinking of walking but thats a tough pill to swallow.

The nice thing about terreza and altaire is the no MR pitch and it seems there are some nice views (for altaire models). With that comes higher prices of homes. I would bet that a majority of the people in CA with MR deduct it (illegally) since its not enforced so keep that in mind when you are selling yourself on the no MR. Even though you dont pay the MR, your ca real estate taxes will be higher.

I also live on the other side of SEH rd in a neighborhood off questhaven.

Some advantages of living on the other side of SEH off questhaven: Having a park within walking distance and access to the trails that take you to the schools. Great views of the ocean from most if not all streets. Disadvantages: Higher MR and long walk to the towncenter. The park I mentioned is nice but the playground equipment is for babies and they should have built out something for toddlers/ young children. There is a ton of space there, its too bad they havent changed it up.

Some advantages of living near town: lowest MR in SEH, walking access to the fields, parks, schools and shops. Disadvantages: oldest homes of SEH, many not updated. Views arent as good as up the hill unless you are in the gated off schoolhouse.

SEH peaked in 2005/2006 and most of the homes have already dropped 40% or more off peak. There are still some foreclosures in the area and people are still short selling. We have had a few on our street that have decided to rent out to families instead of shorting so it seems some are sticking with their investment for now. Prices of regular sales are up, short sales are barely above where we bought in 2009 but the regular sales are moving fast. We had one just set the bar for our neighborhood and it was on the market for just over 1 month. The inside of it wasnt anything to boast about but it had a nice view of the coast.

If I could buy again, I would have bought down near town. Its nice up the hill but I wish I was closer to the dog park and shops in town.

There are some good values that come to market in SEH in the older MR areas so if you have patience, keep an eye out. Good luck with your search.

One more note – I work in carmel valley. commute times are anywhere within the 30-60 minute range. Depends on the day and time. The 15 is 30 mins in the afternoon so at least there are a few options to get home.

We went with a wireless system bought online that if entirely wifi based. We bought an LCD touchscreen for the front door and hid the master unit. We had to pay for the equipment up front but have no contract and it amounts to roughly the same if not cheaper than an ADT type of solution. I installed all the contacts for doors and windows. The wireless ones can be monitored for 8 bucks a month or more, are expandable on you dime and time and so far have been great. You can also self monitor – have he system call multiple phone numbers if an alarm is triggered.

We have a massive dog and I bought signs off ebay a year ago but dear wife wasnt sold so i bought the system. I shipped both the signs and the system to work so noone knew where I was installing.

Lost 23 members of my university that day, suprised it wasnt more since we fed Quick & Reilly with graduates annually. Two of those lost worked for cantor fitzgerald, one a good friend. The other’s father was one of the most viewed photos of the day. One was the Friar who was died as he was reading last rights to fallen firefighters.

Talk what you want about cache but a lot of people living in san diego nowadays didnt grow up here so despite districts like SMUSD not having the “cache” in the past, the future is now and these districts are getting stronger (courtesy of an influx of new development in the past 10 years which has brought about higher social classes/ intellect of residents). Demographically, places like SMUSD have been changing dramatically for the better.

— Edit — just noticed someone pulled in SM high as i was typing so sorry for the repost.
