ParticipantI think it is always an interesting dichotomy with regards to posters who debate any submarket being hot or not hot.
Those who are actually out there looking for homes tend to be frustrated by lack of inventory or homes that are well overpriced (usually both). Those who like to sit in front of computers digging up redfin data love to bring up statistics and debate about time on market or how the sold price is a certain percentage below the list price. (Never mind that the list price was incorrect to begin with)
Markets move slowly but the problem (when you are a buyer) is that the inventory selection of what you really want moves even slower. Fairly long periods of time can pass before you find what you want.
You can say Mira Mesa is not on fire but I would disagree. I think most of the I15 corridor is a pretty tough buy right now. Homes sitting on the market are only there because they are poorly priced. Just because they don’t sell doesn’t mean the market is not very difficult for buyers right now.
Participantwe ate them all the time when we were kids. tasty
ParticipantSell in May go away…
ParticipantI absolutely agree with the implications regarding the effects of diet on health. There is no argument there. It makes alot of sense fiscally as well.
I just think that the slope becomes quite slippery and the lines can be drawn in an arbitrary manner because of the addictive nature of many many items. I think that you are conveniently not addressing that portion of the topic.
ParticipantI don’t know… we have 6 and 7 year olds and we simply do not buy soda for them and limit consumption of that, sugary cereals, etc…
What you pointed out is true however you also missed alot. The fact is that we have highly addictive consumables and mediums all around us. Nicotine, alcohol, porn, gambling, marijuana, etc….
I bet the number of people as a percentage now addicted to internet porn is well over the 1/3 increase that you cited addicted to sugar. I would surmise that addiction can be just as detrimental to our kids as soda.
Clearly the introduction of more and more destructive/addictive products and mediums increases the strains on the population in general.
Seems a little selective to me.
ParticipantYes you live in a country where you obviously cannot take care of yourself so somebody needs to take care of you.

It is unreasonable to adhere to previous agreements in the face of insolvency or unsustainable fiscal demands being placed on taxpayers. Just because the agreements were made does not mean that they cannot be broken.
I find it ironic that people argue that it is more beneficial to reduce the public benefit to the greater masses of society, to education, to cutting services rather then renegotiating the pension benefits.
I guess to some people the well of taxpayer money is endless.

ParticipantAdditionally a seller can select whatever restrictions they want regarding the sale with regards to financing/cash, etc…

SK I have no problem with what your friend gets as his pension. I do have a problem with the return on his pension being gauranteed by the state.
Why can’t the state gaurantee the returns on my 401k?
It is a total fallacy that the state should gaurantee anything. You are a state employee, you get compensated for what you do. You should be given a selection of pension plans all with different returns AND RISKS ASSOCIATED with those returns. You want the big return, you take the risk, you don’t get a gaurantee. You want the low risk, then accept the lower return like the rest of us.
You don’t like any of the choices, then don’t take the job.
No government institution state, local or federal should be in the business of backstopping pension returns with taxpayer money.
ParticipantI know 3 different couples who are looking at homes their. Agreed with sdr, they will all go.

ParticipantThe reason that is a pertinent question is because what you said does not make sense.
If the appraisal was done by the bank that owned the home, why would they price it below the appraisal in the first place? In fact, they would not put the home on the market until an appraisal was done. Why would they put the home on the market and then get an appraisal done afterwards?
Now if the appraisal was done by the buyer, that appraisal belongs to the buyer and is never delivered to the seller unless the buyer authorizes it. Generally buyers do not send a copy of the appraisal to the seller UNLESS the appraisal comes in low. If the appraisal comes in high then no buyer will ever send it to the seller. It makes no sense correct?
Anyways I am sure there is a logical explanation in there somewhere.
ParticipantI would reconsider the justice will be served part until all the facts are known. Also not actually getting inside to see the condition of the home is another unknown. Pictures can be deceiving. As I said there are closed sales under 290k for that floorplan and there are closing over the 290k. We don’t know what the accepted price is either at this point. Successful buyers in markets like this are the ones who act fast and strong. Let’s see how the bank responds.
