[quote=DomoArigato]It’s amazing to me how far to the right and how nutty the Republican candidates are. It’s almost as if the Republicans are running right-wing nutjobs for rightwingnutjobs.

A very interesting strategem indeed.[/quote]

That’s how it works in a Republican primary. Try to out-conservative each other. The nominee will move more to the center in the general election. Obama’s already getting a head start on that from the other side.

Both sides will have moderates running by election day.

[quote=flu]So I have to ask. Who ended up arresting him?
Was it SDPD or Monterey Park police/LA police.

If i were to guess, I would say it wasn’t SDPD.[/quote]

The crime took place in Monterey Park, so I’m not sure what SDPD has to do with it.

[quote=sdrealtor]While we are guessing it’s interesting to note the range is from 160 to 372k. Applying the old rule of thumb that’s says you can afford a house of three times earnings it would appear this hypothetical family could afford prices from 480 to 1.116m without stretching. Is it any wonder prices are so high?[/quote]

Of course you’d sneak this in. The cheerleading is so 2005.

And strange that you’d later post:

[quote=sdrealtor]Is anyone else concerned that a household of 2 public sector employees (not executive level postions) have incomes placing them in the top 1 or 2% of US Households?[/quote]

So are prices so high because we have tons of workers making in the top 1-2% or should we wonder why they’re so high?

[quote=briansd1]
I actually agree with their attitudes. They are educated and more philosophical about life so they believe that employment-at-will should be a 2-way street. If the employer can fire them anytime, then they should be able to fire the employer anytime also.
[/quote]

Everybody I know believes this, and most are much older than the ME generation.

The reason this attitude seems more prevalent with the ME generation is because they have the leverage with their boomer parents supporting them financially. Take that safety net away and we’d see how “philosophical about life” this group is. Hunger is a great motivator.

[quote=threadkiller]Ok I have it figured out now. With 10 houses and 13 condos sold in ’10 the median would be a condo. With 15 houses and 12 condos sold in ’11 the median would be a house. Hence we are saying houses cost 43.9% more in ’11 than condos cost in ’10. Hence it all boils down to “damn statistics”.[/quote]

That’s assuming condos are always cheaper. However, this one sure wasn’t:

The overall median listed of $342,500 for November 2011 is correct from a quick check of sales on SDLookup. Although no home sold for $342,500, with 28 sales it is taking the average of the 14th and 15th ranked home prices for the month.

[Reality]

It’s also reporting the Median. Unless you have a list of all homes sold you wouldn’t be able to check it.

Red light runners should be fined more than they are, with license suspensions for subsequent offenses. It’s dangerous.

That said, your rolling through a right turn seems relatively minor. The jackasses I’d like to see nailed are the ones who stretch out the left turn arrow. At Friars and Northside, it seems every time I’m going east on Friars there are 5-6 losers who turn left from the westbound side towards Costco, Ikea, etc, after the light changes.

A family member of mine bought a place which has dropped nearly 70% now and I think for them, they should just walk away actually, but if they wanted to lower their interest rate from 6% to 4%, heck, give it to them…It’s wiser for them to actually walk away though. I don’t see how doing this “hurts” you when they can use that money to buy goods, travel, etc…to boost the economy.[/quote]

Any government handout has the same effect. Why should this group be favored?[/quote]

Because they are mortgage debt holders. Figure it out.[/quote]

Exactly. The honesty is refreshing, and so much better than the “stimulate the economy” drivel coming from most posters.
