Thanks for all your replies.
We are likely to buy in Rancho Bernardo – 4S Ranch.
SD Realtor – I like your suggestion of plotting this out. I will do so and if possible post the results.
Finally, although I know CA is non-recourse, I could not, in good cconscience, walk away from the home when I have the means to continue making payments. For me, that is what is wrong with our country right now, everyone is a victim and wants something for nothing.

uhhhhhh, duuude… of course I have heard of the Civil War but what is your point? This war wasn’t about taxes and if you were referring to income taxes, yes there were income taxes but they were only temporary and they did nothing to build the U.S. into the largest economy in the world during that century.
High taxes are most often the causes of revolutions or haven’t you heard of the American and French Revolutions.
Anything I “get” from taxes is mostly outweighed by things that are taken away from me by force. Hardly a bargain.
A stable society is ensured by the morals of the people. If people believe they can legally steal from others, you’ll soon not have a functioning society.

Everyone wants the benefit of the cell tower and the reception it brings but no one wants to “pay” for it by putting the tower on their property.[/quote]
Here’s where you’re wrong. Not everyone wants the “benefits” that gov’t provides but we are forced into paying for them. In fact, 95% of all services that gov’t provides can be better handled by the private sector. Imagine you walk into a store and only want to buy milk but the store forces you to load up the grocery cart because it claims you “need them”. You would cry foul, why should the gov’t be any different?
When I read gov’t programs and services, to me it means malinvestments. Gov’t programs are like someone who has a garage and attic full of “stuff” who claims they can’t live without them even though they’ve never looked at them soon after they were acquired. However, if you could secretly take away most of the “stuff” away, the person would never notice any difference. I feel the same way about gov’t programs.
