ParticipantSounds cheap to me. I am over $200/mo for fios. 5 t.v.’s, 4 dvr’s, every pay channel possible, a couple hundred hd channels, hd on demand library included, 20mbs internet and phone. It’s even worse because the pay channels are free for a few months, it will probably be $250 when the introductory stuff ends. It’s too late for me, save yourself. I was fine watching my 20″ tube a few years ago and it was fellow piggies that talked me into HD, now I’m ruined. It’s like heroin or cigarettes, it’s easier to not start than quit.

ParticipantIt depends on the age of your kids, if they are already young teens and you don’t really like pools then you will be saddled with it, once the kids get cars, they get their own lives. I had one, like sc, I loved it but put it in when the kids were little and got ten good years out of it before it became infrequently used. Like patiently mentioned, if it’s pretty and you have some sort of waterfall from the jacuzzi to the pool, the sounds alone make cigar smoking more fun. If you do it, get a spa as well, I used that more than the pool. I agree that they basically free when buying right now, so what the heck, but dropping 50k on one is probably a bad call. Heating was never costly, chems are cheap, it’s easy to do yourself but the pumps have to be run every day for hours, I’d say $200 in electric. I had my pool house a year and then put in the pool, it doubled my electric. Like most things, the old ones aren’t efficient, if you buy a house with a 20 year old filtration/pump system, it will be an electricity whore. I’m told the newer ones are much cheaper to run. The compromise is an hoa with a pool as opposed to the Y or a city pool, but it all comes down to economics, do you have the money? If a pool is going to cut into your food money, don’t do it, if it is going to mean you will only get to go to hawaii twice instead of three times, who cares. If it means driving a ford and having a pool or a bmw and no pool, get the pool. Maintenance wise, it’s probably a draw when compared to a lawn.
If you do put one in or buy a house with one, run electric and cable out to the spa and put in a t.v. out there. The one thing I miss is sitting in the spa, buck naked, with a bottle wine and cigar, watching the laker game on a tuesday night. Some luxuries in life cannot be given a dollar value.

ParticipantDWCAP, I think you misinterpreted HLS’ post. He was not claiming that Irvine, Santa Clarita and Temecula boomed and then were cut off by high gas prices. He was pointing out that over time in So Cal, we’ve had ups and downs but this latest up was an exception, that we aren’t in a housing crisis but rather a needed reset to reality and traditional financing. Having lived in two of the three aforementioned regions during their booms, in the case of Irvine in the 1970’s and Santa Clarita of the 1980’s, both attracted people and ended up quite autonomous today, especially Irvine. Irvine isn’t being cut off because people can’t afford to get to their jobs from there, the jobs are there now.
People didn’t stop buying because of commodity prices, people stopped because the prices were fundamentally unsound, caused by destructive financing.

ParticipantRainbow gap reference, good work eclipxe, making me proud. But you need to be a southie to get the full benefit. So here’s the local jogging trail that parallels south 79, all you hear is leaves and frogs[img_assist|nid=10131|title=temecula creek jogging trail|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=100|height=75].
btw, I concur, fios is so awesome, just for porn alone it is worth the money. It makes Cable internet and dsl feel like dialup aol. I wonder if wiring the whole city was a plan to attract all the work at home via internet folks.
However, you still need a car to live in my fair city. Eclipxe may be the heir apparent, but I am still the king, and the king says no car, no Temecula, the king has spoken.
