Yes, if they hadn’t spent part, not all, I thought I heard the bank was eating like $90K on the short sale, which means they had something like $650K financed. That’s on a home valued at one point at $1.1M, and pretty consistently two year plus run at million+.

His situation was pretty simple, he worked in a industry that vaporized. Vaporized basically overnight and stayed vaporized for 3+ years.

You can talk trash about buying investment properties, but frankly, you’re talking out of your *ss. As inexperienced landlords, there wasn’t anything they were buying around here, or phoenix, or any other market at that time. And I know plenty of people that did just that, in Phoenix, Vegas, Detroit, etc, all lost their backside.

The only thing they could have done was not tap basically $800K in equity. And most of you are already on record for how stupid you think that is when ‘investment’ properties are around.

In the end, the problem they had was very simple, he lost a job, in an industry that he had 20 years of experience in and wasn’t hiring anyone for 3+ years.

So yea, the world falls apart on you, you don’t have a job, you’re burning up your savings, and the house you’ve raised your family in for the last 11 years, has lost $500K of equity and you’ve only got a $100K of equity left.

You’ve got omnipotent hindsight balls, I’m sure you’d pull the trigger and sell, knowing without a job you can’t find a rental, can’t get another loan for a new place and ‘give it away’.

The denial is strong in this thread with the posters.

Deputies Arrested in Corruption & Abuse probe of LA Sheriff’s handling of jails

[quote]More than a dozen current and former “sworn officers” from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are expected to be arrested as part of a wide-ranging investigation into allegations of abuse and misconduct inside the county’s jails, according to sources familiar with the arrests.
At least three people — including a lieutenant, a sergeant and a deputy — were taken into custody by FBI agents as part of a federal obstruction of justice probe into how sheriff’s officials handled an FBI informant at the center of the jail investigation, one source familiar with the probe said.

Must be that stringent hiring model they have.

The bolded part is where our differences lie. Many of us think that the rich have often “earned” their money by monopolizing markets, mistreating workers, and ripping off customers. They create laws that ensure there is no competition for themselves, massive competition for their workers (they sponsor cheap immigrant labor, and/or offshore jobs, etc.), and create environments in which everyone must use their products in order to make it in life (try living without the internet or smart phones…most people can’t even apply for a job without them). Is it “their” money if they do this? You might think that it is, but I don’t.[/quote]

They don’t need to do that, just pass a prop like we did to do taxes on the rich, but classify tax from government pensions differently and subject them to a 50% tax over a certain amount, say $50,000.

The Kelly Thomas police beating death murder trial started.

The defense position is simple, not only didn’t the two EX-officers use excessive force, the real problem was they didn’t use ENOUGH force

Times have changed. Maybe SD is different than OC and LA, but there are wait lists for live aboard slips.

Slip rental is now a beast in OC/LA too with the slip being nearly rent on a studio apartment.

A quickie check shows Shelter cove is varied rate but a 40′ slip is $17.5/ft. or $700 for a 40 foot. Not sure a 40 foot will go in it, may need the 46′ slip or 52′ slip which are $19.5/ft and $22.5/ft and pricing is on overall length including all bolt-ons (swim platform, bow

Los Angeles Sheriff Department’s stringent hiring practices.

[quote]Sheriff’s Department hired officers with histories of misconduct

Despite background investigations that revealed wrongdoing, incompetence, or poor performance, the department still hired dozens of problem applicants in 2010, internal records show.

The department made the hires in 2010 after taking over patrols of parks and government buildings from a little-known L.A. County police force. Officers from that agency were given first shot at new jobs with the Sheriff’s Department. Investigators gave them lie detector tests and delved into their employment records and personal lives.

The Times reviewed the officers’ internal hiring files, which also contained recorded interviews of the applicants by sheriff’s investigators.

Ultimately, about 280 county officers were given jobs, including applicants who had accidentally fired their weapons, had sex at work and solicited prostitutes, the records show.

For nearly 100 hires, investigators discovered evidence of dishonesty, such as making untrue statements or falsifying police records. At least 15 were caught cheating on the department’s own polygraph exams.

Twenty-nine of those given jobs had previously had been fired or pressured to resign from other law enforcement agencies over concerns about misconduct or workplace performance problems. Nearly 200 had been rejected from other agencies because of past misdeeds, failed entrance exams or other issues.[/quote]

Best pay attention next time you’re in Los Angeles County.

Typical Berkeley politics. They design a study and claim high social economic status results in ‘selfish’ and ‘asshole’ behavior, complex test, like they take a piece of candy in in a jar labeled for Children.

I red that see higher economic status not following pointless rules.

iow, non-lemming behavior.

while I have no doubt that those higher on the economic ladder put their self interest first, the choice of the language is inflammatory, political and divisive.
