“’A reality check on the math’: What’s ahead for California and Covid-19“

I took a 3.5 h walk in the rain.
Participant[quote=The-Shoveler][quote=Ready2Invest]I wonder the same thing regarding Temecula and Chula Vista. My conclusion is people really like their bigger houses and a 50min commute is acceptable.
Compared to the bay area where people would drive/commute 2hr plus into the penisula/silicon valley, 50min seems like nothing.[/quote]
There are a lot of other reasons besides 50mi is acceptable,
1) How close to retirement
2) What will Temecula look like in 10,15 or 20 years, Carlsbad and Oceanside industrial base is growing very fast as well.
etc…[/quote]In 20 years I doubt temecula will be much more industrialized. But I’m pretty sure itll be more crowded.
ParticipantDollar cost avg into the stock market over 18 months, put more into REITs if u favor r.e., 90 % stocks, gold 5%, 5% bonds,
I’m stunned at how the zillow estimates on temecula housing keeps going up. Does not seem like a good deal 2 me
Participant[quote=ucodegen][quote=scaredyclassic]I’ve been walking 4.5 miles a day. I’m inspired to walk more. I’m thinking 20 brisk miles a day! I could walk to work and back if I could do 20 miles. Figure 4.5 hours a day of walking. Eat during the walk.
[/quote]I’m doing the exact same thing here. I try to get the S.O. out walking with me, but no dice. I’m not eating while I walk, but I do make sure I do hills as part of the walk. I tend to do the walks when very few people are out, that way I am less likely to run into someone ill on the walk. I used to do quick Iron Mtn, Mt Woodson, or Laguna loop hikes on the weekends – but the trails have been closed.
It it a good way to stay generally healthy.[/quote]
I do feel good. Not really interested in running nowadays. Just too pounding. Maybe it’s a function of being old, but walking just feels like I could sustain this into old age. Just cruising along. My legs definitely are strengthening up in the ligaments, different than cycling.
I doubt idve serioudly gotten into walking if not for covid19.
I started my 4.5 mile hilly loop at a leisurely 90 minutes, tried to speed up, had a few slo daysand finally broke 60 minutes yesterday, no running, just super brisk walking, actually walking as fast as I could the whole way…. I’m not eating on this walk, I was just th9nking if I walk to work, say 2.5 h each way, I could eat a little meal each way…it would be awesome to be able to complete that some or all days
definitely a challenge and if i had run it, I’d probably need a day to recover, but with walking, I’m good to go the next day, which is super!
I dont feel like I could get injured, like I feel is possible running.
I believe in walking!

Participant[quote=svelte][quote=The-Shoveler]
We need to do something fast, simply staying closed down (maybe 6-18 months) until there are “no” new cases is not an option IMO. We will be done as a nation.[/quote]I don’t think the goal is to get to zero new cases before restrictions are lifted. That is not practical.
The goal is to spread out the transmissions such that hospitals don’t get overwhelmed.
Yes, Stay At Home will be lifted in a few weeks, but life will by no means be completely back to normal. Until when and if a vaccine is widely distributed, transmissions will continue to occur. That likely means we’ll be living with some sort of modified behavior for a year or two.
Just like in 1918-1920.[/quote]
My moms aunt died in the Spanish flu epidemic, and it had rippling effects on how her mom raised her. Apparently it was a pretty traumatic time for my gramma.
Wonder whether this will have traumatic effects as we head into global warming endtimes.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]I think it’s funny. You need a good sense of humor.
Boomers are the first “psychologically needy” generation. They really need to feel loved by their kids and grandkids. Because of that, the grandkids actually have lot sway. Young people have a lot of power and should use it to influence their elders.[/quote]
Really, if I were a young dude, I might be thinking 5 or 10 million dead boomers would be to my advantage.
Maybe start with trump and Biden.
Trump in the ICU wouldnt last 3 days. Biden, may be 5. Why are we governed by these ridiculously old fucking people, is what I’d want to know, if I were young?
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Boris Johnson in ICU. Overweight people have more breathing problems and are more likely to go to ICU when they get Covid.

Participant[quote=sdduuuude][quote=scaredyclassic]Charles Dickens walked 20 miles a day!
I think most of us would feel better if we walked 4 or 5 hours a day.[/quote]
I might feel better if you walked 4 or 5 hours a day, but I wouldn’t feel better if I walked 4 or 5 hours a day.[/quote]
I suspect we were designed to walk 5 or 10 miles a day

Participant[quote=svelte]sorry scaredy. I can imagine that is very sobering.[/quote]
I guess its life. But I was heavily in denial. I thought the usa would miss the brunt of it early on.
Also I’m guilty of thinking it wasnt that much worse than the flu.
And that it would only hit old people.
Yeah, the guy who died, he was old….shit…around my age….prolly younger actually.
Nice guy.
Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=SDNative2]Hello. Decade-long reader here within just one SFH rental house with a mortgage. What are Pigg Landlords doing about offering or otherwise notifying their tenant(s) regarding possible rent deferment? If so, for how long? Is anyone taking advantage of forbearing a mortgage on their rental (if applicable)?
I ask, because my property mgmt is taking the stance of basically offering this to all of their tenants, and it’s falling back on owners to make it work on their end.
Thoughts?[/quote]
Nothing. Not mentioning anything. If one of my tenants have an issue, they can follow up with the law and notify me with 7 days of the due date that they were directly impacted by the CV , and then they can talk to my property manager(if needed) so we can work together to work out a payment plan that meets their immediate need while still ensuring at the end I get paid.
But, so far so good (knock on wood). I got all my rent from all my tenants. Most are H1-B’s that work for tech or pharma, one nurse, and a few other that had sold a house and according to bank statement cash reserves. That was one of the main reasons I wanted this kind of tenant pool (hedge #1). All my tenants have credit scores above 790, and as someone once said one don’t get high credit scores by luck and being a shithead shyster, so we’ll test that theory (hedge#2). Lastly, no outstanding loans from paying off all mortgages from equity gains over previous years despite low interest rated, so monthly debt to income ratio is slightly less than 1% (hedge#3).
Any sort of good deals that do come, cool! We wont see any for some time, definitely not until state laws allows agents to start showing properties again. Most agents, through the advice of CAR, have been removing/withdrawing listings since there will be no allowed activity in the foreseeable future.
I think you guys are worrying about the wrong thing. Imho I’d be more concerned about dying from CV versus getting ruined financially. I’d make sure your living trust and advanced health directive is up to date more so than anything else.
Nothing would suck more than your last moments be under remain-at-home and you’re rushing to finish your living trust or advanced directive so your heirs doesn’t have to go through probate or argue amongst each other when to pull the plug. That would be the ultimate slap in the face to those you care about. Although it’s a low chance that it would happen to you, it’s definitely not lower than before, and you wouldn’t say don’t by insurance because the chances of something happening are low too.Also make sure all your life insurance and retirement accounts are up to date with the correct beneficiaries.
Also make sure you have some way to give your heirs all the passwords/access codes to all your accounts should something happen so they don’t need to wait for access. Make sure you keep an inventory of all your assets on a list including but not limited to bank accounts, financial accounts and any physical precious metals , jewelry , etc that you might have stashed all over different safe deposit boxes or escrow services. (Don’t put those list online or electronically) Keep a spare set of keys , access codes, etc to any sort of lock box.
Make sure the executer of your trust is still alive and competent. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have more than one alternatives, just in case the first one is also dead when you are dead, things probably weren’t thinking would a be possiblity due to a pandemic that could affect more than one parent or relative or friend at the same time as you. Also probably a good idea to have a talk about “if something were to happen” with spouse and adultish kids.
Plan for the worst , hope for the best.
Lastly, enjoy your life while you can. You don’t know what tomorrow brings. Good luck to everyone.[/quote]
