I lived in Mira Mesa for 5 years and enjoyed it. But, for resale, it is worth considering Mira Mesa values have always been depressed because it has a certain funk hanging over its head. So much in a name…..

permabearParticipant[quote=jpinpb]I understand that money is needed for cities and states to function and operate. However, I think that there is a great deal of mismanagement of funds. [/quote]
This has populist appeal, but all organizations are inefficient. Large corporations are just as bad as governments. I’ve worked at enough to know that misplacing a few million here or there is no biggie. It’s basically purely a matter of size.
At some point you wind up in a cost-cutting death spiral. You can’t keep parks and museums open, which then means you don’t collect money from admission, which then means you have to keep them open even less…
Case in point:
The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on Monday, over $200 million in awards to 15 states that were able to significantly boost children’s enrollment in Medicaid. California will not be receiving any award money.
According to Hardy, cuts in personnel are responsible for the state missing out on federal dollars. “California is missing out of millions of dollars in federal money because it has failed to take the necessary steps to enroll children,” she said. A report by the Children’s Defense Fund cites more than 1 in 5 children are living in poverty, the highest rate in 51 years.
In Los Angeles there is not enough staff to process the applications. “Shortsighted budget cuts are symbolic of a larger problem,” said Hardy.
