ParticipantIn the residential market, the gov. bailed out the banks by pretending to “help homeowners stay in their homes.” That’s gonna be a tough sell when it comes time to “help keep commercial real-estate owners in their commercial real estate.”
As such, this could be pretty hard on the banks cuz the gov will have a much harder time bailing them out, politically speaking.
Also gonna be tough for the owners to claim “predatory lending” when they are business people.
At this point, I hate to say I’d be surprised at anything the gov does, but, it seems a tougher challenge to bail out the banks on CRE.

ParticipantPump It Up – fixed fee for first 25 kids. Nominal charge per kid over 25. Two parties w/ 12 kids each costs double 1 party with 24. We had 28 or so.
At home – you have to set up and tear down twice. Takes double the time.
Legoland – smaller twin effect. Same kid cost, but assuming we don’t let the kids run amok in Legoland without us, we would have to pay to get the parents in twice.

ParticipantAnother thought – regarding Poway/Escondido or anything else to the east.
It’s too hot. You lose two of the main benefits of paying dearly to live in San Diego – weather and beach. Like 4plex said – if you live that far, you will rarely go. And, there’s the commute.
For the same price house, I’d rather live in Phoenix or Tucson than Poway/Escondido. Lower state taxes, lower cost of living, live closer to work.

Participant[quote=UCGal]But to do that every year – if you have multiple kids… that gets pretty pricey pretty darn quick.[/quote]
