ParticipantAnd dont EVEN get me started on lot sizes.
Here’s a couple. Asking aren’t quite under 600K on all of them, but closing price may be.
http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/4215-Huerfano-Ave-92117/home/6255458
Note – 8300 sq. ft. lot.A little small, but a nice lot:
http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/4617-El-Penon-Way-92117/home/4945858Big place. Canyon, but freeway noise.
http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/4850-Monongahela-St-92117/home/4953906Like everywhere else – inventory problems. Watch this market, though, and you may find a 4 BR, 2 Bath, 2-car garage house at 1700 sq. ft on a nice, quiet, 8,000 sq. ft canyon lot for $500 – $550.

ParticipantAll this talk of 1.5 hours on the road every day just makes my head spin. I can’t imagine. Just because others are doing it doesn’t mean it is a good lifestyle choice. What are you really buying with that ? Sheesh.
All commutes from Clairemont are quite easy, except maybe coming home from Sorrento Valley. Just getting to a south-bound freeway from SV takes 5-15 min.
The prominent parts of Clairemont usually put people off to the area, but get off the big streets (Balboa, Clmt-Mesa Blve, Clmt Drive, etc.) and you’ll find some well-build houses in great neighborhoods. Some parts of Clairemont are a disaster, but there are some nice parts, for sure. If you start shopping here, I’ll even help. I’m not a realtor, but I’m happy to give my two-cents on specific houses in the area.
Consider a canyon lot in Clairemont and send the kids to private school. You’ll have a 5 or 10 min commute into La Jolla. Or, give the Clairemont schools a try first, then move them to a private school if you are unhappy. Or, try to choice them into a UC or La Jolla public school.
We live in Clairemont but our kids don’t go to school in Clairemont so I can’t comment on the schools here, but our neighbors seem quite content with their schools, and a couple have choiced into UC. Everyone knows they aren’t North-County schools, but the lifestyle trade-off makes it all better. To the kids, it is just school, anyway. The kids will never know what they are missing. The biggest difference is you won’t be intertwined with more “upscale” parents, which is both good and bad.
For a more upscale lifestyle than Clairemont, check out University City. Could probably find a nice place that is NOT on a canyon there. The public schools there are, by most accounts, quite good. There is more traffic in and out of UC that Clairemont, but it still has that nice, central location.
Lots of Clairemont folks try to choice into the UC schools, or into the La Jolla schools, too. If you do, it’s a total score. You get “North-county” quality schools with the house payment and incredible central location of Clairemont.

Participant[quote=CA renter][quote=sdduuuude][quote=CA renter][quote=sdduuuude]Set the minimum wage to $0.00 and the country would re-learn what work is.[/quote]
And rioting, and high crime, and starvation, and sickness, and social decay…[/quote]
we cannot afford to have our wages drop.[/quote]
Eliminating or reducing the minimum wage doesn’t necesarily drop wages. It opens up more jobs at lower wages. There is a big difference.
Having a minimum wage doesn’t affect the value of the work we can do. It simply makes it economically infeasible for legitimate businesses to hire people who can’t do a job that is not worth more than min wage. So, those poeople don’t work. Or they go on welfare. It’s a system designed to waste taxpayers’ money.
It’s like saying “lets make the ‘minimum price’ for hot dogs $15. Would the price of hot dogs go up? No. People would stop selling them because nobody would buy them. The value of a hot dog is what it is. Setting a min price doesn’t change that and results in fewer sales.
If min wage is so useful, why not set it at $100/hr ? Then we’d all be rich !!!! Oh. I see. There is an “optimal” minimum wage you say? How does one determine the optimal value for a minimum wage? Ah. We rely on the brillian economists that didn’t see any of the current mess coming. That’s how
It’s just absurd that someone thinks they can pull a minimum wage value out of their ass, thinking they can actually help the economy. It is one of the stupidist economic decisions ever made.

Participant[quote=Eugene][quote=sdduuuude]
Maybe in China, because jobs may actually start coming back here. When unemployment benefits run out, there’ll be lots of people willing to work for less than the current minimum wage.[/quote]It’s more complicated than that. You have to think about aggregate demand and exchange rates (particularly the USD/CNY exchange rate).
To put it simply: any attempt to bring back manufacturing/exporting jobs by cutting the minimum wage will be met by the Chinese government with an adjustment of USD/CNY to make sure that Chinese stuff is still cheaper.[/quote]
Not a bad point. That doesn’t necessarily hurt us, though, as we buy so much of that stuff. Plus, devaluing their currency puts pressure on them in other ways. They can’t do it ad-infinitum.
