Yeah, I can’t imagine how much more they sunk into it. I talked to someone that said they know the owner and a fortune was sunk into it. (The Redfin listing says $350,000 was sunk into it but I heard it could have been more). It will be interesting to see what the sale goes through for.

It looks like it fell through a few days ago but someone else swooped in. The low list price is $1.1 million which at that size and for the upgrades seems reasonable. It sits on over half an acre. If I didn’t already buy I might have been interested in it.

I can’t imagine what they spend in maintenance fees at the Crosby. I know in Santaluz it’s almost $1 million a year.

Totally strange to see big houses like that with only 2 bedrooms. Even for retirees.[/quote]

I doubt they would understate the total cost of improvement on the realtor write up. $350k sounds about right. that would make it more than half off!

[quote=CA renter][quote=ocrenter]Combining data from graduation rates in the region with spending per student in parenthesis:

Poway Unified 95 percent ($7216)
Carlsbad Unified 92.4 percent ($7927)

San Dieguito Union 94.4 percent ($8108)
Valley Center-Pauma Unified 90.6 percent ($8850)
Sweetwater Unified 77.6 percent ($8612)
San Diego Unified 74.9 percent ($9855)

it is almost inversely proportional! As spending per student goes up, the graduation rate decrease![/quote]

That’s probably because the lower performing schools tend to have more high-needs students than the higher performing schools. They get special funding for students who are below a certain income level, etc.

The demographic information would probably paint a very clear picture, explaining both the low dropout rate and lower costs for the first few districts mentioned.[/quote]

yes, the free bus, the free meals, so on and so forth. none of which really contribute to the learning process. just more ways to expand the educational bureaucracy.
