SK in CV
Participant[quote=Hobie][quote=SK in CV][quote=flyer]On that note, police recruits are down 90% in some areas, and as things get worse, no doubt there will be more and more early retirements and fewer applicants, so it will be interesting to see how society functions, should we ever get to the point where those in need call and no one answers.[/quote]
What do you mean by “as things get worse”?[/quote]
maybe as more cops are being ambushed for one.[/quote]
Except they’re not. This year is higher than last year, much of that in the last 30 days. But the last 5 years are lower than the 5 before that. And those 5 years are lower than the 5 before that. And it’s been going that way for 30 years. The last 30 days have been an anomaly. Absent that, there is no evidence that things are more dangerous for cops.

Participant[quote=flyer]Since I don’t see how all parties concerned with regard to law enforcement issues will ever be able to come to terms with one another (those serving, and those they serve) imo, things can only get worse.
I’d be glad to be proven wrong, but at the very least, it seems to be clear that there will, most likely, be fewer and fewer individuals willing to serve the law enforcement needs of the populace going forward, and it will be interesting to see where that takes us as a society.[/quote]
I’m missing something. How are things getting worse?

Participant[quote=flu]So I’m not sure what her concern is. I don’t think we’ll have a flood of buyers changing that anytime soon. Property values should stay “stable” there and not move that much, which it sounds like is what she wants…[/quote]
There can’t be any buyers because there aren’t any sellers. Everyone has owned their home since before prop 13, (most have lived there for over 100 years) and then pass their homes on to their children who rip off everyone else by not selling and continuing to have very low property taxes.

Participant[quote=La Jolla Renter]I always thought if you inherit or have savings prior to marriage and you use it on a down payment, and divorced down the road, that you get the down payment back or is your equity. You don’t get interest, or gain off the down payment.
Anyone know the actual standard treatment in California.[/quote]
That’s basically the law. The down payment is “reimbursable” under the law. If instead, the couple uses joint funds for the down payment, and uses the inherited money for the monthly payments, retirement plan contributions, or most other expenses, those expenses are not reimbursable.

Participant[quote=bearishgurl]SK, that’s not legal advice. I would tell my kids the same thing.
I feel so many later messes could be avoided in life if someone just cared enough to speak up if they see a red flag. At least tell them to seek advice before they do anything rash.[/quote]
You would intentionally tell your kids something that is incorrect? Why would you do that?

Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Where did I “provide legal advice,” here?[/quote]
[quote=bearishgurl]But you need to know that your “inheritance” belongs to you and only you unless you “commingle” it (i.e. or use some or all of it as the entire downpayment on real property which is only half owned by you or owned by a marital “community”). Doing this could change the “character” of your inheritance and you may already be aware that CA is a “community-property state.”
[/quote]
You acknowledged that you know it’s not accurate, you don’t think that’s advice?

Participant[quote=bearishgurl]SK, you must know that it is tremendously hard to raise minor children on a $50-$60K salary in SD County, CA. That’s why, after re-reading the OP’s posts today, when she stated that she didn’t expect to work for at least ~20 years, I saw an opportunity to encourage her to get legal advice. Sorry if that doesn’t seem “PC” to some Piggs.
[/quote]
My comment had nothing to do with political correctness, and nothing to do with you encouraging her to get legal advice. As I said, that was sound. You should have stopped there. You didn’t. You proceeded to provide legal advice that was wrong.

Participant[quote=bearishgurl]But you need to know that your “inheritance” belongs to you and only you unless you “commingle” it (i.e. deposit some or all of it in a joint account or use some or all of it as the entire downpayment on real property which is only half owned by you or owned by a marital “community”). Doing this could change the “character” of your inheritance and you may already be aware that CA is a “community-property state.”

Probably the main reason you shouldn’t be giving legal advice is that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Separate property that is used for a down payment on a home, even if the home is purchased as community property, is reimbursable in a divorce. (See Ca Family §2640) The advice about seeing an attorney is sound.

Participant[quote=phaster][quote=SK in CV]So you’ve redefined bubble to mean “i have no empirical evidence, but it’s confusing and I don’t know if it (whatever “it” is) can continue”.[/quote]
I know it when I see it

Justice Stephens was talking about obscenity. I have little doubt he knew exactly what he was talking about. You went backwards. Justice Stephens never referred to what he was talking about. You have. And you proceeded to provide what appeared to be evidence to support your conclusion. However, nothing you provided either supports, or even is specifically related to a bubble.
History has not provided a precise guide on how to predict a bubble. But it has given us a pretty good definition, primarily by the trail of destruction in value they leave. They are invariably related to a particular asset, or asset class.
You may in fact know something when you see it. But what you’ve described is certainly not a bubble.

Participant[quote=La Jolla Renter]IMO Obama, Lynch, and Hillary’s words have been way more dividing than uniting over the last couple of days.
Look who shows more leadership than all 3. Good on ya Snoop!
Precisely which words do you think have been dividing?

But it’s more fun to manipulate statistics or make shit up to fit an agenda.
Don’t forget that males are disproportionately arrested and killed by police, compared to females. Why are cops so sexist?[/quote]
No, it’s not fun. It’s not fun at all. None of the statistics are made up. Is there an agenda? You bet your ass. Just as you have one for commenting here.
13 Native American deaths out of 569 this year. If it was a one time thing, it might be a statistical anomaly. It’s not.
Do you really think that people of color should die at the hands of law enforcement more often than whites or do you think it’s not happening?[/quote]
So, you agree that cops are sexist and unfairly target males over their female counterparts. See, we agree on something.[/quote]
Absolutely. But it isn’t that simple.
