ParticipantYou are more than welcome. Without your posts on this site – it would be dull indeed! A substantial number of the topics are started by you, and yet people continue to berate you for the amount of time you spend here, your motivation for posting here, etc etc etc… it is tiring.
I, for one, have learned a great deal not only from your research and opinions, but also from opposing comments by those who respond to your topics… I am stunned at the way you have become a target.
Keep up the interesting posts. I not only learn from them, but enjoy them as well.
Participantwe’ve been through this. look into the archives. Her name is appropriate. Let’s not continue to beat this dead horse of a topic.
Participantzk – If you look at the Best Communities topic, you will se that sdrealtor called her a liar as well regarding her name. Even using the word “lie”. So, no sense standing up for his “honor and integrity”.
ParticipantGlad you liked it. Thought it was time to lighten up the mood around here!
ParticipantShe wrote, “I dont believe you” and he called her, “dumb ass”, “bitter loner”, and “patheric individual”. Really now, which person one is name calling?
I cannot understand why every blog turns so foul like this… I, for one, have felt uncomfortable with sdrealtor since the day he posted that he knew who powayseller is and could identify her. That is just disturbing. Now, again, he has threatened to exposed her identity.
In another post he says that she is a liar because her name is powayseller and her house was in lakeside. Well, as I stated before, if you had a house in Solana Beach, up behind the country club, the kids go to Solana Beach elementary schools, the stores you would shop in are all Solana Beach, and yet it has a Del Mar mailing address. Would you call yourself “delmarseller”? No.
Please stop this. I hate to have to abandon this blog. There is plenty of name calling and swearing on the other bubble blogs (I actually think it can be entertaining). It is the threatening to take away a person’s anonymity I find truly horrible.
ParticipantI actually agree. That is why we left. It is good for the kids physical freedom… biking and walking. Not intellectual or ‘spiritual’ freedom (I am not referring to religion).
Schools are not great either, which was actually the main reason.ParticipantI’ve lived in RanchoSFe, Solana Beach, downtown La Jolla and Coronado. Love La Jolla and Coronado for all the walking (hate the traffic down the hill into LJ now though)(hate the ‘I got mine’ attitude in Coronado). Love Rancho for the sun and serenity/privacy.
Love DelMar and Solana Beach for the high school and for the most artsy/laid back beach feel of the citizens (used to be this way anyway – I’ve seen a lot of those women like the blonde mom character in that Spanglish movie the past few years – you know the ones – hardened chests and bodies – looking you up and down, evaluating, and boldly saying “How do you stay thin – where do you work out?” – Duh… well I exercise a little but its genetics… what a weird way to get to know someone… doesnt happen in upstate NY. Why do we all have to look exactly the same?!)
I think Leucadia and encinitas have cultivated the “artsy ” feel more the past few decades. I like that.Spend my summers in all these towns and still love them. For retirement I think I’d pick Coronado. Such freedom for the kids on bikes/on foot.
I havent lived in Poway, but I’ve heard nothing bu good things about it over the years. We just never opted to live there because I actually like the fog rolling in and the overcast days. Gives the skin a break from the sun – nice to go for a bike ride or a walk/jog in. No air conditioning necessary.
ParticipantTrue – I just dont know how to gauge this thing. Cant really compare it to similar historical events since the loans and information flow were different. I think this is why I am following it so closely. I have no plans to move, and all the way out here in upstate NY am fairly well insulated from it all since we bought before things went nuts. However, I watched with some confusion as the prices kept climbing (I thought it was over the top three years ago). I have a large family all in the Solana Beach/Del Mar, La Jolla and Coronado areas, and wonder how it will all go (none of them has these loans – so not worried, just curious). Fascinating stuff!
ParticipantI’m not so certain inventory will go that high (of course, i could be wrong). The only reason I say this is because i’ve been watching towns in and around Boston that started rising in inventory a little before San Diego. One example, Marblehead MA, is just like Coronado, only with the best school district in the country, much more character, and a rich history dating bak to the Pilgrims. Inventory there was rising quickly, but has hit a plateau the past couple of months. I think with the speed of information flow these days (via the boob-tube, internet, etc) it will not take as long as historically for the market to reach bottom. Interestingly – prices there have dropped very little.
ParticipantSDrealtor-
I have read your insults on this site for so long, I wonder, have you ever lived anywhere else as an adult? I know you said you grew up back east, but as an adult…? Just wondering. You seem very shallow in your appreciation of what the rest of the US is really like to LIVE in. I grew up in San Diego and have lived there on and off for years (and abroad). Although I love the weather, and hate the cold, I still struggle between wanting to go back just for the weather, and staying where I am for so many other reasons. Excellent, well-educated, tolerant neighbors, superior schools in every regard, affordable housing and the ability to save save save, historical sites within a short-drive (some minutes away), cultural opportunities unrivaled in SDiego, public transportation that actually works, less emphasis on appearances and cars, etc. For raising kids, the rest of the US is wonderful…(I dont mean from a vacation standpoint – obviously SanDiego has few equals aside from Hawaiian destinations).ParticipantRight, the interest would be accruing as always, but doesn’t SOMEONE have to make payments to the bank that first year?
ParticipantSarcasm doesnt come across as inteneded on blogs. Your ‘Wink-wink’ sarcasm sounded too much like what so many people actually believe… Glad to know you didnt partake of the red punch at the open houses.
ParticipantI started another forum topic about this realtor or broker (didnt look into it much) offering some sort of “no payment for 12 months thing”. No one posted any responses, but is this another even more frightening way of keeping people in the market as is crashes downward?
ParticipantSo true. Plus, we all know that the $600k “average home” right now is a POS (piece of s*&t). That means a 1.5M “average home will be of similar quality. There are absolutely no “wealthy tycoons” that will put up with living in a dump just to have good weather.
