ParticipantSelf driving cars come close to great for me,
So I can keep my three car garage in the exburb’s and keep going to Costco to fill it to the gills.
I saw this today and said to myself, this guy just described L.A.
“People in the suburbs need to get to jobs in other suburbs,”

ParticipantWatson’s OK for crunching statistics and making a statistical conclusion but it is not true IA yet.
It not capable of writing complex programs or building a better AI than we could.
And it’s not going to build your next home or pull the weeds on your hill(now when it can do that then I will be impressed).

Really it’s not a good as they make it out to be.
SD is in much better shape.
March 24, 2015 at 5:06 PM in reply to: San Diego tied for dead last in job creation in top 50 metros, SF is 3rd from top #784136ParticipantI have been to Austin several times, even had a colleague drive me around and did some exploring myself,
You will have to take my word, there is a lot of poverty in Austin no matter what the Hyped up media is trying to sell you.
It’s not as rosy over there as they are trying to hype.
I would say percentage wise there is more poverty in Austin than SD.

LOL, That’s actually a good Idea.
But I think these type of polls and stats are generally misleading, SD is doing just fine IMO, True there is not as much work diversity as L.A. (you would be surprised at the amount of people who work in things like stunts and special effects, and other working behind the camera that I know who I grew up with).
Then you have the port etc…Still even L.A. did not do well in this either, L.A. is not poor, trust me no matter what the media says.
One more note you might find surprising, just because you won an Oscar does not mean you are rich LOL.
But it does generally mean you can find more work so it does have some cred.March 24, 2015 at 11:23 AM in reply to: State of the economy and affect on housing in S California #784128Participant“I feel that a decently earning ( ~$100K/year ) middle class family can’t really live here ..”
IMO it’s just that SD has grown up and become more like L.A.
A middle class family can make it in L.A. (or SD) they just have to commute 35-45 miles to work like they have in L.A. for the last 35 or so years.
ParticipantIMO this is mostly hype and most of these Jobs will take decades to fully automate, (in the mean time it’s a good time to be a software engineer IMO).
Eventually I think it will be more like Wall-E than anything else but that is 25-30 years down the road at least (before we reach the singularity).
Then I think it will be good to have a degree in “party planning”.
March 20, 2015 at 10:59 AM in reply to: State of the economy and affect on housing in S California #783984ParticipantNone of the above IMO.
IMO we will see slow steady (somewhat boring) growth.
Boring for the next 5 years is what I see coming.
Anyway IMO.
ParticipantLOL, Suburbia is far from dead.
You guys are too depressing.
You should get out and drive around more.ParticipantSelf driving cars will happen, the transition to all cars being forced to be self driven will be interesting, but traffic Jam’s will be a thing of the past (mostly).
in 20-30 years it will either be Wall-e or the Terminator/ultron (or maybe all three).
One thing is for sure, accelerating Technology change keeps getting faster.
It will be interesting.

If you engineers work hard, someday the spoils will go to liberal arts majors who partied while you studied.ParticipantIMO, Each new gen will retire better and earlier.
But I am an optimist.
March 19, 2015 at 1:26 PM in reply to: Is it a terrible time to buy if you plan to stay for the long term? #783955ParticipantBoth, depends on your budget I guess.
They will have a lot of new tract homes going up in Bonsall and Fallbrook area’s soon as well (next to the I15), So I believe that area is going to grow a lot faster than most think it will once those first large tracts go in.
Also Carlsbad even though it has gone mostly past peak it is still a great deal compared to say CV or most anywhere south of there along the coast and there is a lot of new industry starting to go into the area.
I think Vista and Oceanside will get a lot better down the road. they are improving very fast.
Anyway IMO, but I think spdrun may have a good Idea as well.
Buy a rental in one area (improving), rent in a better area (already past peak).
March 17, 2015 at 5:04 PM in reply to: Is it a terrible time to buy if you plan to stay for the long term? #783911ParticipantDepends IMO,
If you are planning to buy in an area that is already over the last bubble peak price, most likely you can rent considerably cheaper than buying.
If the area you are interested in is still down 20% or so from peak and the area looks likely to grow (which most outlying area’s in SoCal do), then I would consider buying.
I don’t think the area’s already past peak will crash, just not as likely to appreciate as much percent wise as maybe some outlying area’s that are still growing fast.
