ParticipantWith regards to those writing code for a living and depending on W2 income, I can say that with 100% certainty that 0% of them have ever asked me to look at homes in MH or PL. Furthermore none of them have even asked me to put those areas in for a home search. They did not care about High Tech High school as well. They wanted a neighborhood that had alot of kids, that had a good school district and they were much more focussed on starting a family or growing an existing young family.
I am not sure if there is even a single Pigg poster or lurker with young children who has ever chimed in about wanting to raise the kids in Mission Hills or even 92103 for that matter. Maybe not so much for Point Loma but really, parse through the archives and you guys tell me how many posters you see making queries about raising kids in Mission Hills and Point Loma.
Please don’t get me wrong, these are beautiful places to live. However the demand for these places is much smaller then the demand for what the average engineer and his wife want.
One thing that I have found to be common with most my clients regardless of profession, race, or religion is that those with kids all wanted to be in the same spots. Again, CV, PQ, Scripps, Encinitas, 4S, some UC and Clairmont as well. None ever mentioned MH or PL. I am not saying that there are not exceptions to the rule. Bearish and Pem if you deal with young families every day and are trying to find them homes to live then you can chime in and let me know of how many of them are looking to raise thier families in MH or PL.
I know you guys all may have some exceptions to the rule, but based on my own experience of people I work with who have bought and who are looking they are exceptions and not anything more then that.

ParticipantThis is an interesting thread. A few comments I would like to add. First off the Mills Act is very cool, my brother bought a place near Balboa Park and the block that he is on has been going through the process of qualification. They are near completion but it has been a long process that started well before he bought the home.
San Diego never ceases to amaze me in terms of the diversity of the population. The amount of money in in the County is staggering, in terms of old money and new money. I think the compression (squish down) mentioned in MH and PL will indeed happen over time. I am toying with the notion that these areas may depreciate a bit quicker over time then other areas that are NOT LIKE them but offer better schools. I think that the demand for the young family looking for good schools far outweighs the professionals looking for an older nice home with a nice place to garden. No disrespect JP or any others. Thus I think that supply in places like MH or PL will linger longer.
I think that the supply of young people writing code for a Sorrento Valley company, while not inexhaustible, is much stronger and will continue to support the desired school districts.

ParticipantHi Sunny –
If you are looking for cash flow then you may want to look around in more modest areas. Cash flowing in San Diego is hard enough but cash flowing in areas like UTC is brutal without a larger downpayment.
