The problem with the floorplans at Spectrum

is that you have to walk up a flight or two of stairs from the garage to the main living area. That and the spacing between condos is tough to navigate from the driveway into each garage. Bad design in my view. That and a substation next door is not that great. I would pay 150-200k for these condos but not the ridiculous 390-450k they are asking for them.

Texas is dirt cheap. I am thinking of buying a place in couple years since I travel for work and would rather own a nice home then keep renting or pay too much for a condo in San Diego.

And KOGO AM needs to fire his ass as well. I for one am sick and tired of this annoying guy yelling how “real estate never goes down” mantra day in and day out. Its funny because this morning his buddy finance guy even admitted that real estate was tanking in San Diego with all the sub prime meltdowns and Wall Street events and Chowderhead was silent. Hmmm well, isnt that special?

I agree.

For what these crackhead builders are charging for new condos, I can buy a decent 3 bedroom home in Poway or Scripps Ranch. I really don’t know what the builders are smoking right now but hopefully they will wake up from their coked out minds soon with imploding loans.

Here is what makes me laugh:

I can buy 2 brand spanking new homes in Texas (Dallas, Austin, San Antonio) for what one of these condos cost!!!! And there are plenty of good jobs there too. People are nicer. I am tempted to move after my lease is up in 18 months. While I love San Diego the real estate market still needs to drop by another 100k before I will buy a place here.

Snobs versus the Slobs

Thats why I liked the movie Caddyshack so much.

Yeah I agree- the typical trust fund baby I see around San Diego is annoying creature of sloth and arrogance.

Professional retired wealthy ex-athletes and actors

Are usually not too bright when it comes to level and desire to possess culture and education. Granted, there are exceptions but by and large these folks won the genetic lottery and were in the right place at the right time to get lucky with their wealth. Yes, I am sure they all did some hard work along the way but pure luck is more like it.

I am in San Diego only because when I was layed off in 2002 from a software company in the bay area, there were few jobs left after the dot coms busted. I found work in San Diego for an investment bank in technology. The market improved and I jumped ship for greener pastures. I moved back to Sacramento in 2005 for a brief period and after a while disliked it even though I grew up in Sacramento and have a lot of friends and family there. So.. I moved back to San Diego! For me, I work a lot anyways and having great weather and easy access to the beaches is relaxing and better than pure culture. I can always hope a flight to SF or NYC for the weekend if I need opera or broadway.

My only beef- traffic is way worse; and, housing is not affordable for normal professional. Hence, I am seriously looking at places like Texas and Arkansas for a home purchase. They are not as nice weatherwise as San Diego but fit my budget and pocketbook a lot easier. I signed a 15 month lease so I have some time to wait and see what actually happens to the San Diego real estate market.

Hopefully it keep go down and I can buy a small 2 bedroom 2 bath townhome with a real 2 car garage. Ideally, I would like to buy a duplex and rent the other side out to a good friend but duplexes are few and far between here in San Diego and VERY EXPENSIVE.

San Diego nice balance

I have lived in many places and San Diego has nice mellow feel to it that is missing in NYC and LA. Jobs pay low here and real estate is high. Thats the major down points. But.. I feel it will change.
