ParticipantProblem with running 35 units outside of Yuma is that you have to be outside of Yuma for a large portion of your life.

ParticipantHard question! Depends whether her father owned a Daisy Air Rifle, a 12-ga shotgun, or a Kalaschnikov.
ParticipantAlso, would the doctor wife have married a high-school only grad?
D/k about the doctor, but…
I know two couples: one of which is school administrator with a Ph. D. who married a carpenter who only finished HS. The other is an architect (hah, know quite a few of those) who married a roofer on one of her jobs. He didn’t even finish HS to the best of my knowledge. They’ve been together for at least 20 years.
ParticipantMost people now meet on the Net so the social institutions such as church and even parents have less say in how young people interact.
I wouldn’t say “most” — maybe about 20-25% of couples if that. I actually know more people that met at work, through mutual friends, or even went to school together, for what it’s worth.
ParticipantThe thought of being a stay at home dad makes me feel ill.
…
I would prefer to work though.But why work 9-5 or 8-6? One couple I knew (actually my doctor back in the 80s) — wife was a pediatrician, husband was an architect by training, fixed houses, rented them, but mainly did his thing during the kids’ school hours and on weekends so he could also take care of the kids after they were done with school.
Participantwhy?
if you have a paid off house or condo that you bought 30+ years ago, your carrying expenses should be well under a grand a month, maybe under $500.
other costs of living in San Diego are only marginally higher than in other parts of the country. (and in some cases lower, since HVAC is less of an issue)
plenty of both older and younger people in the area where i bought in mission valley, seems like a pretty normal mixture.

As far as the family that had to move — this was based on the journo’s interview of them, and perhaps they exaggerated. However, if you look at pictures of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl, there are pictures of equipment and homes buried in FEET of dust, so maybe it’s not 100% surprising.
As far as why they didn’t move ASAP, people are surprisingly attached to their homes, and if a “middle-class” family dropped $300-400k on a home, do they really have money for mortgage, taxes, insurance, etc AND rent on an apartment or a motel room for weeks on end?
ParticipantNot necessarily by this time, but it’s definitely possible by some time this year. Aderman has been in and out of contingency quite a few times.
As far as the listing for $167k, peak sale price for a 1/1 on Summerdale was $187k for a unit sold this summer. We don’t know what price was accepted here (and if the buyer will perform), but if it went for $160-$167k, it’s already a bit off peak.

What gas leak? I don’t see that mentioned, even if there is one, they’re usually easy to fix provided nothing stupid like running naked gas pipe through the slab was done by the builder.
I’d say that the $150-$170k range is about right for that area (given new-ish construction and low H.O.A. of $205), so no surprise that it’s pending.
If you’re talking about Aderman, it’s been in and out of pending 3x since November. Not 5 days, but closer to 60 days if the buyer performs this time around.
ParticipantBurying pipes in a concrete slab is a criminally stupid idea. I don’t get why they can’t bury wide PVC pipe in the slab as a conduit, then run PEX pipe and a few pull ropes through it to wherever the manifold will be, making it child’s play to replace any leaking pipes in future.
Or just form channels in a 2″ layer of concrete poured on top of the slab to allow for pipes. Frankly, if this were my property, I’d be so irritated as to figure out a way to replumb.

If it happens, it happens. So what?
30,000 people a year die from gunfire in the US, but no one seriously proposes to take away the 2nd Amendment. Even more people die from traffic accidents, yet the right to drive isn’t being seriously restricted. Inclusive of 9/11, about 4,000 people have died from terrorism on US soil IN THE LAST 20 years. 200 per year. Puts things in perspective a bit, doesn’t it?
The risk of death from terrorism is just the price we have to pay for living in a relatively free society. Keep in mind that bombings were pretty common in the 70s and 80s, but no one was a paranoid Nazi about the risk until after 9/11.
There are more important and pertinent things to worry about.
ParticipantTruck was probably sold to a different company and primered to obliterate markings/trademarks of the old owner. Happens quite frequently.
I doubt that the SPs on the base would just allow an unmarked truck to drive onto base and into a sensitive area.
People worry way too fucking much. The level of security around the Stupidbowl in NJ is frankly insane, and almost a terrorist act in itself.
