migrant camps? do you mean the type of migrants from India, China, Korea, and Taiwan? and the camps, you meant those shanty town built by Pardee?

definitely a lot less migrants in Santee, true red white and blue blooded Americans live there.

I think that you don’t get sarcasm even when it pops you one on the jaw.

Who cares is there is overbuilding? All the better for buyers and renters. Its much better than under building.

Since this has turned into a philosophical discussion… 😀

Really depends WHAT is being built. Cheap garbazhe that will fall apart within 5 years and need expensive repairs/raise maintenance to nightmare levels, or good quality housing. The former suits nobody; not buyers, not the environment, not builders who get mired in litigation.

Also, if buyers buy, then the market gets glutted with cheap new-build homes, you end up with a situation much like that in Phoenix. Yeah, prices have recovered a bit there, but they’re still down 40-50% over the peak years.

In CA coastal counties, the older stock in the best locations typically has substantially larger lots than newer tract-housing does. Schools aside, the younger cohort of Gen X and Gen Y typically do not want to spend time or money on extensive landscape and staunchly refuse to raise their children in a 1400-2200 sf house when they can get a 3000+ sf house in the far-flung lizard-infested stix for the same price or less.

I read it, understand it, but still don’t “get” it:

PB seems to have a lot of cute older houses on small lots. Typically used as rentals, but I wouldn’t feel beneath living in one myself, and I’m in my early 30s. Are my tastes warped by being from the the East Coast, where age of housing doesn’t matter so much as quality? (Avg build date of homes in my immediate family is something like 1920).

If an agent tried to show me something like that, I’d be asking “why are you wasting my time with this overpriced junk?” inside of five minutes.

So please explain how an illegal can pay state or federal income tax when they do not have a SSN or TIN?
…
…
A lot of the wages for illegals are handled as cash under the table – Cash = not track-able. Note that I highlighted income which is not the same as sales tax.

Actually, a lot of illegals are paid using stolen SSNs these days. From what I’ve read, probably more than are paid the old way via cash under the table. They’re paying the taxes — they’ll just never see any benefits.

Do more people necessarily want to live closer to the core? This is San Diego, not Manhattan or Capitol Hill/DC. Given unlimited money, I’d probably take La Jolla or PB over the immediate downtown area/Little Italy.

In this instance, I’m a devotee of Mammon.

(And thanks for the informative response bearishgurl!!)

No, but having a union protect a teacher that obviously didn’t do his job sitting at his desk while 7th graders wacked off in public in plain site, yeah no problem there… And he probably gets to keep his job…and his pension for that matter.
Gotta love unions!

Guess you think it’s ok just just jerk off in public.

Hell no, I don’t condone it. But I also recognize that 7th graders are both randy and adept at hiding contraband from adults. Having been one myself not so long ago 🙂

If the kid likes to tinker at all, encourage it and get him an Android device. It will do him good in future to cultivate his tinkering.

Up north. I guess exit 14 would apply, but quite a bit west of that at first, then east across a large river 🙂

If personality cults are cool, then YIPPEE!

Storing in the cloud makes sense for music and other stuff that’s been published, but he should be taught from a young age that personal info stays personal. And slapped down hard if it doesn’t.

Cloud for personal info = privacy theft. Once it’s out there, it’s not easily removed.

This being said, I use basically no cloud services other than e-mail (buy CDs or download my music directly), and 16GB on a smartphone is plenty for me.

First:

You need a better router with QoS to prevent one service from eating your entire bandwidth allocation. Today it’s Netflix. Tomorrow, with an 18 Mbps connection, it will be a download that’s running full-throttle and keeping everyone else from having a usable connection.

Yep, from NJ originally.

It does seem like a full-contact sport — the problem is that players seem to be a lot worse organized than on the other coast, as well as being not very bright in some cases and generally less straightforward.

16G works for me, but I’m not a digital packrat, at least not on mobile devices.

I’d seriously consider an Android device — they’ve got a lot better over the past year, without the asinine restrictions that Apple cripples their phones with.
