We had a mold issue in our previous rental. The property manager’s solution was to clean it with 409 and paint over it with Killz. We were month to month at that point and left immediately. I’m guessing you live in one of the cute older neighborhoods of San Diego. We learned from a experience a lot that haven’t been redone are poorly insulated and have moisture issues.

I know it’s a headache, but I’d suggest moving. The fact they’re willing to release you from your lease suggests to me that 1) they know there’s a problem 2) they’re not willing to pay to fix it and 3) they won’t be eager to fix other issues that will come up with the property. Try to get in writing a guarantee of deposit return.

Figured I’d revive this thread, since my wife and I have been looking at places in “north” La Mesa (North of the 8). We’ve seen a few places we like in the 300K range, although nothing we felt comfortable putting an offer in on yet. The feel of the neighborhoods definitely seems to vary on a street-by-street basis. Prices are definitely all over the place, but maybe that’s true everywhere?

Any Piggs currently live in La Mesa? Like the original poster from 2009 we like it because it provides some of the charm and easy access to “the city” of neighborhoods like North Park and University Heights but at a better value and with better schools.

Not negotiating with employees during a down turn. Is that smart? I’m sure the competition is eager to gobble up their market share. But what’s a little negative PR?

Honestly though, in most strikes it takes two to tango. Look at the NFL as a perfect example of a labor disagreement where it was hard to feel much sympathy for either side.

20 years from now pot legalization will be viewed completely as a State’s Rights issue. It might happen sooner, but demographically there’s just too much support once the boomers become the retirees and “South Park Republicans” are in their 40s and running the show. There’s just too much demographic support for legalization amongst younger folks, support that hasn’t eroded as Gen X gets older. Party “core values” constantly shift with demographic trends.

He’s getting some mainstream attention, but John Huntsman to me is what a Republican “should” be; intelligent, pro-science, and rational. Huntsman could probably beat Obama in the general, but he’ll never make it past the right wing base.
