Participant[quote=flu]Here you go folks…
[/quote]It is possible that the shooting of these innocent civilians was motivated by revenge….
Participant[quote=flu]Oh that’s just horseshit… Anyone that’s ever lived in LA like I have know that cops have the persona of being bullies.[/quote]
I’m with flu on this one; in fact I fear the police gang more than I fear street gangs.
ParticipantSure doesn’t help the case against the 2nd amendment.
Notice there’s barely any mention in the news that the cops shot up innocent bystanders.
Oh well, they’re just expendable civilians.
The Military Industrial Police State gone wild.
ParticipantI have been going through Wells Fargo. They seem to have bad reviews.
They want to charge $440 for an appraisal, seems high to me.
ParticipantExactly, as mentioned here a couple of weeks ago, DC RE is a bubble inflated by the blood, sweat and tears of the rest of the country. Makes me sick.
ParticipantThat article was a real self-image booster…now I don’t feel so bad about being a loner.
ParticipantBG: I agree (and appreciate) with your comments, but also understand the Temecula proposition. In my case I work about 35-40 minutes from work (Tem to RB), and I rationalize that by so cal standards that’s not a horrible commute.
But in Temecula you get good schools, affordable real estate (basically texas prices 20 miles from the coast), decent AQ, low crime and newer houses – that’s the reward for the commute.
Before I bought my current house, I looked hard in RB, San Marcos and SEH. In my price range (rent or buy) we were looking at 1500 sq ft, we barely fit in our new 2400 sq ft house…
On top of that, the commute from San Marcos or SEH to RB is not that much better than from Temecula.
Having said all of that, I have been seriously considering selling this summer into a strong market and moving closer to work.

The Anti-government, anti-American groups and rhetoric is different. These dudes don’t want to participate in the rule of law and the political system of this country. [/quote]
Quite the contrary; and while I can’t speak to all individuals most live by and just want to see the Constitution restored and enforced.
February 2, 2013 at 12:54 PM in reply to: OT: Do Assume That Your Representative Will Vote on the NRA Side or Abstain #758795Participant[quote=KIBU]The line is pretty fine.
These dudes with anti-government rhetoric everywhere I hear (they are pretty vocal now) and the dude who exploded the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh sound kind of familiar to me. This is from Wikipedia on Timothy McVeigh:
——————————————-
1993 Waco siege and gun showsIn 1993, he drove to Waco, Texas during the Waco Siege to show his support. At the scene, he distributed pro-gun rights literature and bumper stickers, such as “When guns are outlawed, I will become an outlaw.” He told a student reporter:
The government is afraid of the guns people have because they have to have control of the people at all times. Once you take away the guns, you can do anything to the people. You give them an inch and they take a mile. I believe we are slowly turning into a socialist government. The government is continually growing bigger and more powerful and the people need to prepare to defend themselves against government control.[24]
For the five months following the Waco Siege, McVeigh worked at gun shows and handed out free cards printed up with Lon Horiuchi’s name and address, “in the hope that somebody in the Patriot movement would assassinate the sharpshooter.” (Horiuchi is an FBI sniper and some of his official actions have drawn controversy, specifically his shooting and killing of Randy Weaver’s wife while she held an infant child.) He wrote hate mail to the sniper, suggesting that “what goes around, comes around,” and he later considered putting aside his plan to target the Murrah Building to target Horiuchi, or a member of his family instead.[25]
McVeigh spent more time on the gun show circuit,[when?] traveling to 40 states and visiting about 80 gun shows. McVeigh found that the further west he went, the more anti-government sentiment he encountered, at least until he got to what he called “The People’s Socialist Republic of California.”[26] McVeigh sold survival items and copies of The Turner Diaries. One author said:
In the gun show culture, McVeigh found a home. Though he remained skeptical of some of the most extreme ideas being bandied around, he liked talking to people there about the United Nations, the federal government and possible threats to American liberty.[27]
———————-[/quote]I don’t think there’s a fine line at all. I mean really, your team already won the election.
If you don’t like the tea party that’s fine, doesn’t mean they are domestic terrorists.
You’re really making a huge leap, leaving out many other aspects about his personality.
McVeigh among other things was paranoid.
Participant[quote=toots]
Contractors are either very young renters or have young families that live in places like Temecula, Marietta and Escondido.
I don’t see sequestration having an effect on real estate sales in San Diego.[/quote]
And that’s why Temecula is so much more vibrant than San Diego.
My dad has lived in Point Loma for more than 30 years (near the fresh and easy which used to be lucky’s), and it’s like the walking dead around there.
Inventory levels in Temecula are very low right now, about 70% lower than this time last year (which was already low).
20+ offers on a house in the 250k-300k range not uncommon at all.
Most of my co-workers live in San Diego,a few of us live up in Temecula and beyond. On the other hand, most of my co-workers who do live in Temecula do you have younger families.
Sounds like I may need an exit strategy.
ParticipantAll I heard on the MSM news today is that 157k jobs were created, not that unemployment rate went up and that labor participation is at an all time low.
If the economy was really doing well, the feds wouldn’t be printing 100 billion or more each month.
ParticipantOne thing this thread demonstrates to me is that many piggs are absolutely out of touch with what’s left of the middle class in SD.
Almost as if SD is the Capital District in the Hunger Games.
ParticipantIt goes without saying that the housing market is heavily manipulated, and I tend to agree with shoveler – I think an event horizon is definitely approaching.
Some type of Lehman~ish shock event.
The economy – which has been on life support anyway – is now contracting.
I’m not surprised there are a lot of San Diego housing bulls here – I think some may be suffering from a normalcy bias.
At any rate, San Diego generally is not that good of a value IMO – and I think this has been and will continue to be good for Temecula.
I just wish I could figure out how to acquire more Temecula properties – which is not in contrary to my original statement. It’s all about timing.
January 29, 2013 at 9:32 PM in reply to: The Real Story Of How ‘Untouchable’ Wall Street Execs Avoided Prosecution #758688ParticipantI have a feeling the markets are in for a steep correction sometime soon, at which time Obamamania should fade away.
