Participant[quote=briansd1]There is increasing urbanization and globalization of commerce, education and jobs. The most highly educated professionals will want to live in or near glamour cities, as Robert Shiller puts it.
Within glamour cities there are first, second and third tiers.
The first tier cities will enjoy higher growth and regional wealth.
The cities around the world that are best able to provide infrastructure and housing, and keep up with growth will enjoy the fruits of economic wealth and growth.
Unfortunately, I think that the NIMBYism in San Diego will prevent us from being a great first tier city.
People think that internet makes everything local. It does not.
If you go to social networking sites, you’ll see that all the “desirable” people live in big cities so that’s where young and smart people want to be.[/quote]Follow the logic here ..
The most highly educated professionals will want to live in or near tier 1 glamour cities.
You want to live in San Diego
San Diego isn’t a first-tier city.Therefore you are not a highly-educated professional.
ParticipantThis showed up on Redfin. Selling the whole development for $13M !
Includes 23 lots and the 3 houses.
Sadly, it is in the “wrong” school district.

ParticipantI’d consider some hedge funds, or managed funds where you put your money in and let someone else trade it. They can’t access the money except to trade it and they take a small percentage of the funds in your account on a daily basis (such that it is about 1% a year).
If the min investments are small enough, split up the money between several of them.
Consider selling short European banks.
Definitely don’t buy a house from sdr cuz I’m not geeting a damn thing.
Participant“Getting off the grid” may be a very sub-optimal goal.
Because electricity is prices in tiers, with the maginal cost going up as you use more electricity, you may be able to find a faster payback period by only building enough solar to drop yourself down a couple of tiers instead of overspending to get your bill down to 0.
ParticipantOur hardwired land line phone was able to call out to cell phones, but we were unable to call into our own landline.
Participant[quote=CDMA ENG][quote=sdduuuude]I think you are all crazy assigning these adult-like personas and expectations of kindegarteners.
The kindegarteners aren’t racially profiling each other and kicking the boy in the crotch is not wise advice.
Just tell her to ignore the brats, go find the nice kids and play with them. It isn’t that difficult, really.
As for yourself, FLU – do the same with the parents. Don’t focus on all the Carmel Valley social posturing. Just find some nice people and conect with them. I guarantee you they are there.[/quote]
SD,
you are wrong on that one too. Plus I’ll go two years better than Kindergarden. The stories my sister tells me about the playground politics of her daughters and it is astounding. Boyfriend girlfriend politics (all very innocent at her age), profiling, social stimatizing… Its all very shocking. I told my sister to get the kids out of there and she said “Why? It’s that way everywhere now.”
I swear it made me want to have a vascetomy. Kids will be kids? Ha! Kids will be adults seemingly.
I don’t know why its different today. Maybe it wasn’t and we acted similiarly without knowing it.
Or maybe these things start earlier now becuase more kids go to day care and the learn bad behavior from one bad apple.
Or maybe I am just Mr. Negative since my schooling was a sham…
I know you have kids and your experience level is much higher than mine but I have worked on a school playground and I have plenty of friends and relatives that relate these stories…
And your no prize yourself my friend!
Ill be home soon and working from SD on a more regular basis. Get some Ba Ren?

Note – I didn’t say there weren’t any nasty kids in schoold. I said, be sure to teach your kids how to latch on to the nice ones.
It’s a matter of knowing what you can and cannot change, it’s a matter of seeing the good not the bad, it’s a matter of giving your kid an optimistic view of that is to come and a matter of putting your destiny in your own kids’ hands rather than complaining about everyone else and their kids or teaching your own kids to complain about everyone else and their kids.
What I see and hear is exactly that – people complaining about other people’s kids, which in itself isn’t a very pleasant trait. It’s aaaaaaalways someone else’s kid and never the kid of the guy complaining.
My advice holds true – Just find some nice people and connect with them and teach your kids to do the same.

ParticipantAnother thing to understand is this – as kids enter kindegarten, the school has yet to identify the problem kids that may need special help, behavior programs, auxilary classes, etc. Shools ae blind-sided every year by a new crop of kindergarters who just shouldn’t be in class with the rest of the group and it takes a month or two to identify them, make a plan, convince the parents and get them where they need to be.

Participant[quote=CDMA ENG]One thing I can say I learned in school… Was how to fight. I got my ass kicked… ALOT! But I never decisively lost a fight. That is the key. You might lose to the bully… You usually do because they are bigger, but if you fight hard enough they won’t want to try you again. Each of my bullys moved on to harrassing someone else after fighting me.
You don’t have to win… Only earn thier respect and show that your not a mark.
I was a puss until seventh grade when the nieghborhood bully cornered me into a fight. I kicked his ass till he ran home crying. Didn’t have to fight again until the 10th grade. That one incident bought me three years worth of respect.
Well worth it.[/quote]
For sure, someone beat you badly with an ugly stick at some point.
