Participanta lot of folks in Taiwan pay top dollar to get license plates with “8” and “6” in them.
of course, the prices for these plates have gotten quite high after the years.
the result is only the rich can afford plates with these numbers.
consequently, kidnappers know you are REALLY REALLY well off if you have a license plate with these numbers, especially ones with multiple 8’s in a roll.
ever since the kidnappers begin to target folks based on this, the population has realized these numbers ain’t so lucky anymore, well, as far as car license plate is concerned anyway.
this is a lot more effective than what the Communists tried to do in China.

ParticipantCalifornia has grown to the point that it is really unmanageable. regardless of who is the governor.
I say split it into three, it really does make more sense.

Participant[quote=kcal09]The Shadetree home is located directly behind power lines. That is much worse than a view into nothing.[/quote]
absolutely. this is a long time BMIT favorite:
[img_assist|nid=10433|title=transmission tower|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=320|height=227]
as localguy pointed out, there are some overpriced homes in stonebridge, and there are also some homes badly positioned next to powerlines.
potentially someone can really get screwed buying in stonebridge. but the key here is where there is risk, there is also reward. don’t wait on the MLS for a lower priced home (it is likely a short sale with a transmission tower at the front door, aka shadetree). instead, go make your own bargain. for example, localguy mentioned the homes colrich took over from cornerstone. guess what, colrich is NOT advertising AT ALL. those are prime targets for bargain seekers. another prior opportunity was the CityVenture homes that went down to essentially $750k. And prior to that the bunch of homes Davidson sold back in late 08-early 09. then there’s the occasional short sale and foreclosures. bottom line, you will not get a bargain going down the regular sale route.
