ParticipantThis is what the same money will get you in 92592, and the schools are rated higher than even Poway:
Notice the San Diego property is really a condo.

ParticipantOk, I finished my search (and I took off the garage requirement) and din’t find 1 property. Not one.
This is the closest I got:

Participant[quote=spdrun]Why do you need 3/2.5/2 — what’s wrong with a plane-Jane 3/1 or 3/2? SD’s weather is nice enough that you don’t really need a garage to protect your car from a freak snow storm.[/quote]
Come on now…garages are not for cars, they’re for your junk.
BTW, that criteria is easy to meet in Temecula.

ParticipantI’m going to search (realtor.com) for a 3/2.5/2 house in San Diego in an area with 9/10 schools that I think will realistically sell for 400k +/- 5%.
That’s 3 bedroom
2.5 bath
2 car garagebetween 390000 and 420000
with a local great schools rating of at least 9 for elem/middle and 8 for high school.

ParticipantI used Empire Carpets out of Vista last summer for sheet vinyl flooring.
The flooring itself seems to be very good quality, but choices with empire carpet/flooring are limited.
If you’re not in a hurry I would choose home depot over empire carpets/flooring. I’d say not only is Home Depot cheaper than empire, they also offer more choices/selection.
But…Empire really will do the install the next day.

Participant[quote=spdrun]Aren’t you exaggerating a bit? Common charges and property taxes in SD are still pretty low. What’s wrong with a two or three bedroom condo? Come to think of it, I saw a 3-bedroom house with 1 bedroom guest cottage (rental income) in back for just north of $400k recently in a pretty good area.[/quote]
Depends on your situation IMO; if you have kids in public schools San Diego can be a gamble.
Yes, you might get that 3 bedroom house for 400k (will probably bid up), but most likely the schools are questionable.

ParticipantKev, while you don’t mention where you live ( or I missed it) I have a solution for you: Temecula.
Yes, Temecula.
You can probably buy up here.
San Diego is a bad value, and as scaredy has mentioned San Diego and San Francisco are great if you’re rich or bought a long time ago. Temecula is great for the 99%ers.
Low crime
Great schools
Clean air
Affordable housing
Temecula is a well run city
New hospital
Wine country is growing and gets better every year
Nice old town areaCome on up, take a look and fall in love with Temevula.

ParticipantI’m sorry if I misunderstand or missed something, if I may are you renting her a room at your house?

ParticipantI would think this ruling would be relevant to San Bernardino, at least I hope it is….

ParticipantWho among us didn’t know some rich kid in high school who was a total a-hole? Come on…you know that rich kid a-hole attitude that gets worse with each passing year.
maybe he was also a star football player
or a cheerleader
class presidentany way you cut it -> an a-hole.
Or am I jealous?
Or maybe the rich really are superior.paramount
Participant“While having money doesn’t necessarily make anybody anything,” Piff says, “the rich are way more likely to prioritize their own self-interests above the interests of other people. It makes them more likely to exhibit characteristics that we would stereotypically associate with, say, assholes.”

ParticipantAn example of where the US is today in terms of rights:
A fairly small group legally exercising their free speech rights (following the Kennedy 50th memorial) were beat up by the Dallas Sheriff’s Department. Keep in mind, a judge had “authorized” the demonstration and the Dallas City Police had just opened up the barricades (maybe set a trap?) to let the demonstrators in to speak.

Participant[quote=6packscaredy][quote=paramount]scaredy, please allow me to clarify….
I’m not opposed to gay marriage
I’m not opposed to gay adoption
I am opposed to gays being recognized as a minority of any type…
I do think the gay agenda should be kept out of elem school curriculums…[/quote]
ok. What about gays as a recognized group for purposes of a hate crime? can they be recognized as a minority for that?
radical, man.[/quote]
No.
I am with spdrun on this issue.
The idea of hate crimes is part of some socialist/communist/progressive agenda somewhere.
hate crimes are bogus, period.
Jamie Glazov, PhD:
“Hate-crime” legislation is the ultimate socialist fantasy. That is because it fulfills the greatest socialist calling: to camouflage the hatred of life and of individuals with a loudly professed love of “humanity.” “Hate-crime” laws achieve what socialism-in-practice achieved throughout the 20th century: the dehumanization and extermination of large parts of the human race.
The key to “hate-crime” legislation is that certain groups of people are protected, while others are not. Because these laws have a socialist agenda, it is no big surprise that class hatred does not fall within its categories of protection. Socialism, after all, is a direct repudiation of the Tenth Commandment – “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.” Instead, it stresses that the neighbor who owns more and better should not only be hated, but – in the best tradition of Stalin’s forced collectivization – eliminated.
Thus, when whites kill blacks, or when heterosexuals kill homosexuals, “hate-crimes” are now considered to have taken place. But when Kathleen Soliah is charged with placing pipe bombs beneath two randomly selected Los Angeles police cars, this is considered a testament of revolutionary courage. That is because, when she was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) 24 years ago, Soliah despised capitalism and hoped to build class equality. The police, who were the protectors of the fascist patriarchy, had to be exterminated.
So too, if you are black and kill whites, you are also, like Soliah, not engaging in “hate-crime.” The murder of the 8-year-old white boy Kevin Shifflett in Alexandria, Va. in April, 2000, is a sad reminder of this reality. Shifflett was murdered by a black male who slit the youngster’s throat while screaming racial epithets at him. Unlike the killings of blacks by whites, this murder was not seen as a “hate-crime,” nor did the press even refer to it as a racial crime. The racial identities of the victim and murderer were suppressed.
This phenomenon is very much about the socialist implementation of “thought crimes.” People are trained to think “correctly.” And this ends up spawning the ideal socialist reality, in which, as George Orwell put it in Animal Farm: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
In Hating Whitey, David Horowitz crystallizes the breeding ground for “hate-crime” laws. He demonstrates the double standard in American society when it comes to the toleration of hatred, revealing how everyone is taught and expected to be inclusive and tolerant toward all ethnic groups – except, of course, towards “whitey.”
Horowitz shows how, in the university curricula throughout the country, the most politically correct version of history and society now entails the pedagogy that white people are evil. In his essay on bell hooks (lowercase letters her own elusive social statement), Horowitz reveals how the Distinguished Professor of English at the City College of New York epitomizes the license to hate white people. One of the cult-leaders of political correctness, hooks has written an essay in which she revels in a fantasy about killing an anonymous white male on an airplane. She says that she feels a “homicidal malice” and affirms that, “Had I killed the white man whose behavior evoked the rage, I feel that it would have been caused by the madness engendered by a pathological context.” She explains how those blacks who do not want to murder whites are victims of a false consciousness. “Blacks who lack a proper killing rage,” she writes, “are merely victims.”
Horowitz observes that if hooks killed the white man, someone else would ultimately have to be responsible, because: “even if she had done it, she did not do it. In fact white people did it.”
In reflecting on these phenomena, we come to understand the origins and objectives of “hate-crime” legislation. As Horowitz shows, the agenda is founded on Marxism, a philosophy that constructs a paradigm of society being divided between oppressors and victims. And it is precisely that vision that sees a social utopia being possible only after the extermination of certain groups.
Thus, “hate-crime” legislation is the ultimate socialist fantasy. Genocide cannot occur without hatred, and hatred cannot effectively engender its killing machines without camouflaging itself as love.

ParticipantBitcoin (sign: BitcoinSign.svg; code: BTC or XBT[1]) is a peer-to-peer digital currency that functions without the intermediation of a central authority.[2] The concept was introduced in a 2008 paper by a pseudonymous developer known as “Satoshi Nakamoto”.[3]
Bitcoin has been called a cryptocurrency because it is decentralized and uses cryptography to control transactions and prevent double-spending, a problem for digital currencies.[2] Once validated, every individual transaction is permanently recorded in a public ledger known as the blockchain.[2] Payment processing is done by a network of private computers often specially tailored to this task.[4] The operators of these computers, known as “miners”, are rewarded with transaction fees and newly minted Bitcoins. However, new bitcoins are created at an ever-decreasing rate.[2] -
