ParticipantI agree exactly with what CB said streak. San Diego is in my opinion the best place to live in the USA IFF –
climate means alot to you
you do alot of things outdoors
you either have alot of money
OR
you are prepared to spend alot of time working******
The local govt here is pretty lame. The unions have a pretty fierce grip on the city and the medical care entitlements from previous contracts will forever cripple the local budget. Once the city can get enough nuts to declare bankruptcy that that would help in a big way. The state of California leadership is inept. There simply is no way the state can cope with the financial ledger because of the ideology splits. More spending and more taxing is the model we have followed and it simply has not worked. Yet not only do we continue to follow that model but many many many people still support it.
Coming around full circle I can think of no better place to raise kids. Take em to the beach, take them to the trails, take them to the mountains, the desert, lots of sports programs, lots of outdoors stuff. Honestly it cannot be beat. However to have to work and work and work just to be able to afford the home that you feel your family deserves in good school districts and such… well there is a diminishing return on the quality of life if you cannot spend it with your family.
So it is a tough call. I can say with all honesty that I take home less then 50 cents on the dollar that I earn. So yes high tax bracket, good for me. I can buy a home in many states for cash and literally commute here to spend more time with my family then I do now.
I think if you don’t have kids and are more centric about you and only you, it also is alot easier to live here. Rent a small place and enjoy all that the city has to offer because it does have alot of cool stuff…
Just don’t look for a championship professional sports team.

ParticipantThe current offer they have had a contingency of sale for the buyers. The buyers asked the sellers to pull the home off of Active status. Usually when there is a contingency of sale the home is left Active and the agent puts the right of first refusal clause in the remarks. This kind of tells you that the buyers came in with a high offer. So the listing agent agreed as a compromise to put it in contingent rather then pending. Yes this is an odd (and unintended) use of contingent status however I don’t see a major bone to pick here. The area is quiet, and a decent part of poway. Some people don’t like it out there, I do. They will likely remove contingencies in a few days as it sounded like the buyers have found someone to buy their home as well.

April 10, 2010 at 1:04 PM in reply to: foreclosure wave about to hit — again! — and with a thunderous roar no less (per TG’s ladyfriend) #537854ParticipantLesBaer congratulations on paying off your mortgage. I don’t know anybody who regrets paying off their mortgage early. Call the Dave Ramsey show and let him know you paid it off as well. Unlike most people, he preaches the path of wiping out debt from your life rather then focusing on building up wealth. Yet, wiping out debt usually will end up creating opportunity for you to build wealth.

ParticipantMy favorite is the Sam Sulieman story. I posted about it back in 2006 or 2007. He was a sheister and got busted for fraud. Fox news was doing an investigation on him when he lost it and attacked the reporter while they were filming the interview. His wife jumped in as well.
