ParticipantThat’s the treadmill.
All will top out around that today over the long term, imho that top end will push down with continued advancement in the developing world.
In the short term, you can find niches that may be paying more but as Flu said, you need track years in it where it wasn’t hot and more hobby than job and the skill shortage can fill in surprisingly quickly. Design leads pay more, but even those are driving down
So either get on the new skill treadmill or find new career.
December 5, 2015 at 8:11 PM in reply to: Who is responsible for what in detached condominiums? #792106Participanti would check the governing documents.
See links. Last two digits of APN are unit code for parcel. While I suspect if you have a parcel solo odds are all maintencance expenses are yours. I wouldn’t count on a shared Parcel to not have CCR pushing expenses to owners.
And in either case the best thing is to check reserve accounts of the HOA , anything listed is something they’re planning on group paying, anything not probably ot. Again neither of which means they will in the end garoua pay or not nor whether or not they’ll special access for it. Ie my bad taste condo did a several grand special assessment for roofs even though there was a near $700K reserve.

ParticipantOkay, what happens in most mosques the world over after Friday prayers?
As for zealots storing stuff at home, well, there are 330 Million firearms in private citizens hands, and presumably Their homes. 40% of households have at least one firearm, and typical polls show over 50% of respondents of gun websites have over 1000 rounds at home, and over 25% with more than 5000 reported.
Imho, the firearms and ammo collection, the SB shooters had, sans explosives, is going to pretty typical for anyone that owns an AR-15 style weapon. There’s close to 4 million if those out there and another million mini-14s. That’s not counting the illegal stuff.
[quote=dumbrenter]If I recall right, there WAS a forum discussion about the guy with bomb factory in Escondido. What is happening here is name-calling for the OP who simply asked a question: should I buy near a moslem center? You could answer yes, you could answer no, you could counter-ask (as you rightly do) if that is a fear worth having. But why call OP a troll or “fcked up” just for asking this question?
You ask a valid question: How many San Diego county Mosque going bomb makers got busted in that time period for comparison?
I say none. But look at the incidents of jehadi sympathizers from NJ to texas to SB shooting up places and they all pretty much stored the ammo at home.
Now, expand your view to what happens in most moslem mosks after their friday sermons world over. It is not yet happening in this country (except maybe be Dearborn MI) but given the trend, given the demographics, it is bound to happen here sooner than later.
So, while the answer is 0 now, it is going to be non-zero soon. Do I want to be right next door to find out? Do you?[quote=no_such_reality]You mean like the guy in 2011 with the bomb factory house in Escobdido? What was his name? Jakuvic or something.
Or the guy in Mira Mesa in 2013 with the arsenal of homemade guns and pipe bombs? What was his name? Meyer?

Given the number of OTs, this one is quite relevant to the topic of housing market.
No more so than buying next to a church or synagogue, honestly. Even if VERY HYPOTHETICALLY, a member of the mosque is a radical, why would they destroy the house next door?
This being said, it might be relevant in a way that the OP hasn’t thought of. Some local bigots might feel moved to attack the mosque or harass the worshipers. (Especially if there’s another war, or unrelated terrorist incident somewhere in the US.)
I’d buy next to a mosque without a moment’s hesitation. If it keeps people like the OP out of the market, guess I can get the property more cheaply :)[/quote]
Then who is stopping you from starting one? Go ahead.
They might not want to destroy the house next door, but what if something goes wrong when they are wiring up the explosives in their mosks? I mean, let’s face it. These guys are have not gone to a proper explosives course or something, right?[/quote][/quote][/quote]ParticipantYou mean like the guy in 2011 with the bomb factory house in Escobdido?

The one or two on there that could pay well are the kind that pay really well of the handful of stellar creatives that make it and the other 999 in 1000 marginally better off than McDonald’s cashier kind of like acting. Actually acting is probably a great analogy for the entire list struggling with sporadic gigs.
IMHO pretty much the entire white collar office and professional services (lawyers, routine medical, etc) is going to get rolled in the near future with a few key positions and the rest outsourced to the 3 billion people around the globe willing to push e-paper, enter data or grind a line of code for the least

BTW, which elementary school in Del Sur are you referring to?
I’d not buy next to a social services center either.[/quote]
thank god someone gets it – it’s so scary out there, these days. willow grove elementary.
many social services buildings are un-marked for a reason, btw.[/quote]
You know, I’m much more concerned if the guy zig zagging through cars behind me in the lifted pickup is going to give it the gas when the light turns yellow when I’m looking to stop.
Participant[quote=no_such_reality][quote=deadzone]
As others pointed out, If I am in Seattle for example, for a certain price point I can choose from among dozens of local Seattle craft beers, any number of premium world famous imports, or Ballast Point. How does Ballast Pt win that?
[/quote]You’re thinking the trap of stocks since the mid-80s. Growth, growth, growth.
Ballast point wins by being sustainable. Capitalized on growth, then maintain a $100 Million a year in revenue and kick out dividends and fat paychecks for the founders. Win.
For IPO buyers, maybe not so much. To win, they don’t have to be best, they don’t have to be cheapest they don’t have to largest, they just have to be a viable artisanal choice to the scale of the product they produce. For as long as the foodies are willing to pay $12/6-pack.[/quote]
Okay, I’ll stand corrected, no shame in selling out for a billion.
ParticipantActually ISIS is using a sophiscated social media and propaganda campaign to recruit. IMHO if anonymous could leave the trail intact while hijacking their media and overlaying images of the truth on top of the propaganda they’d be doing a service.
What could say more with the cherub cheeked Austrian girl smiling with her ISIS warriors calling others to ‘the cause’ than picture of the yazidi mass graves of all women between 40 and up and picture s of the rest of the women at the sex slave auctions?
ParticipantAm I the only one the watches the news and think what the hell you taking about. Masterminds, complex attacks yards yadda and what I see is eight guys with machine guns and crowded popular venues.
What’s complicated or masterminded about that?
ParticipantSo trendy current materials,Myers that’s what linoleum and Formica was back then.
And 3-6 home per acre is the definition of sprawl.
Ssdd.
[quote=bearishgurl][quote=no_such_reality]Please enlighten us as to whom you think all those state of the art tract homes were built for in the 70s, 80s, and 90s?[/quote]
NSR, if this question is directed at me, I can tell you that SFRs of this era were not “state of the art.” They were built with linoleum, formica counters, t-lock shingle and wood roofs, wood garage doors (until the early nineties) and had mostly cheap carpeting installed throughout.
In addition, there were far fewer subdivisions built, they were much smaller subdivisions and were built 3-6 homes to an acre. The “master planned community” concept with thousands of units (8-18 SFRs to an acre) did not take hold in SD County until 1987 …. AFTER the first CFDs were formed in Eastlake Shores (Chula Vista). By that time, the boomers were in their mid-late 30’s and most already owned a home (most boomers married young and bought their first home in their early to late 20’s). There were only 2-3 “work centers” in the county and most workers commuted no more than 30-35 mins to/from work.
All cities in SD County, plus SD County should have issued building moratoriums in 1992, after all the land was developed which was within CFD’s formed after the Mello Roos Community Facilities Act was passed in 1982. Our quality of life would have been so much better for it. Other jurisdictions (examples: NorCal, Oregon, Washington cities/counties and Boulder, CO) who have managed to enact permanent residential building moratoriums before the horse escaped out the barn door can still offer their residents a fabulous quality of life today. We can’t because we are bulging with people, creating a big headache every day for the worker bee, especially. We have only our esteemed leaders (past and present) to thank for this. They have sold out America’s Finest City (and surrounds) to Big Development due to their own greed. It ended up getting them nowhere because their sphere of influence (number of employees “under” them) is actually LESS today than it was in 2001![/quote]

ParticipantIf you think the certification process is insane, she obviously hasn’t shared any stories about the hiring/interview process…
ParticipantThe grass is probably 1/2 dead from water restrictions and the school is afraid it’ll turn to mud with the rain if the kids trample it to dust.
As for basketball, my guess is the court has to be shared with other activities that may need hardtop. Jump romp, chalk drawing or maybe even better, the new designated sitting area
Participant[quote=harvey]
Turn on CNBC and relax. Free markets and capitalism are alive and well in America.[/quote]What free market? Every regulated in many forms. Nearly all the major companies highlighted on CNBC are majority institutionally owned, which is collectively being run by an employee to further the agenda of the owners (mostly the people of the USA). The companies use government subsidizes or programs and from governance standpoint, are controlled largely by the employees. Yes, the CEO of publically traded companies are mostly employees. Their boards, even if they are not outright being politically correct and socialists are promoting social goals. Take a look at Disney or virtually any other large corporate board.
If you want to see Capitalism, you need to roll back to about 1890. This thread as been rife with confusion between communism and socialism.
But sure, keep thinking we’re all self-made capitalists. IMHO, if the bottom 90% of republicans or even democrats got a real taste of being exposed to raw capitalism, they’d run screaming.
