Quite frankly, I don’t mind paying taxes per se, as long as it is for something worthwhile, i.e, infrastructure, education, alternative energy. The Iraq war and the billions spent are not worthwhile by any stretch of the imagination, and that is when I have a problem paying taxes, especially when we are peddling America’s future by the sale of bonds to a dwindling number of buyers to finance the Iraq fiasco, and in turn weaken the dollar further, produce hyperinflation all resulting in the inevitable decline in the standard of living for the vast majority of Americans; or cut our losses from the Bush Iraq mess and instead invest tax dollars into something far more likely to produce a meaningful return on investment. The choice to me is obvious and I would hope that these are values Americans believe are worth paying for, such as the education of future generations and development of alternative energy sources, far more important than a low cap gains tax rate for the wealthy. I for one, am willing to take the hit.

“The latest figures on job creation in San Diego and CA are abysmal. We are way underperforming the nation, as the original post establishes, in both quantity and (for San Diego), quality of jobs, and no, it is not all construction-related.”
personal attack?, oh boo hoo, girly man.

the girly man reference is revealing since you raised it, your buy into the fantasy of the republican macho representations not whithstanding the whimp ass Bush/Cheney chicken hawk crew.

not that I disagree with the job creations situation but your lame attribution to liberal policies is just that, lame and simply unsubstantiated opinion without any factual basis whatsoever. get the facts, mam, or in your case, girly man, the neocons have ruled this country for the past 8 years with the whimp demos aquisecing, and your whining about is plainly hillarious. Seems to me you got what you asked for, girly man, and now your whining.
BTW, Washington is booming according to your post but it is one of the more liberal legislatures and governors so it should be suffering like CA, no? So, this undercuts your original “thesis” (to put it charitably). You sure are great at contradicting yourself. keep it up, a real hoot.

I hear china is where it’s at there Bobs go for it patriot.

"This news adds up to one more reason to NOT invest in San Diego, or elsewhere in CA. With a top-heavy government, a huge tax burden, and an increasingly liberal electorate, our business environment and jobs situation will only get worse. Employers and wealthy tax averse people will increasingly flee the state."

I find this post pretty funny since the fringe right always blame the same targets, the top heavy government, the so-called "huge" tax burden, and of course, "liberals" since they are always at fault for everything. Newsflash, unless you been living under a rock the neocons have been in charge for the past 8 years, and loose lending standards (i.e., lack of regulatory oversight) brought us the housing crisis we now face. Maybe a little more "top heavy" government was needed at this level of regulatory control, ya think?

Just note this, I work with business people including many VCs and California has much going for it aside from weather. To say that businesses are leaving Calif for Nevada, Florida and Texas misses the point since those type of businesses have or will move to Mexico or further overseas.
In the hight tech area I work, businessess stay in Calif due to technology innovation, a first rate educational system, overall wealth and a sophisticated investment culture. So, if you are employed in these areas, you are golden, if not, be worried, even if you move to Texas, Nevada, Florida or a third world country for that matter, yer just a disposable commodity.

It never ceases to amaze me to see these types of "opinions." Bobs, do you actually live in Calif, or watch Fox News 24/7 and flip burgers at a diner off highway 50 in Arizona?

“larrylujack, does it really matter if it’s a castle or a dump? $600k off asking from last sold is still $600k, however you slice it.”

Well, I think it does matter since it was obviously either purchased as a flip by a dim bulb or fraudulently since I find it hard to imagine anyone buying that s…hole as a personal residence for 1.7 mil even at the peak of the bubble. There is therefore not much surprise that reality set in and the junk hole is being sold for much less now. But, I certainly do not disagree that mathematically speaking the reduction is significant.
