Or This, I mean honestly What could go wrong?

DARPA Wants Computers That Fuse With Higher Human Brain Function

“In the never-ending quest to get computers to process, really understand and actually reason, scientists at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency want to look more deeply into how computers can mimic a key portion of our brain. The military’s advanced research group recently put out a call, or Request For information, on how it could develop systems that go beyond machine learning, Bayesian techniques, and graphical technology to solve ‘extraordinarily difficult recognition problems in real-time.'”

There has not been a pandemic in long time.
Not saying it’s going to happen, but you never know.

Still waiting for that big asteroid to hit in the pacific, or that volcano off Africa to collapses.

Well it was not every year but there were quite a few because you were getting promotions as well as cost of living raises (based on the cost to BUY a house by the way).

My wages easily doubled every 5 years from 1973 to 1990. My first new car in 1976 was worth about what I paid for when I paid it off in 1979.

You would have had to be there but putting money in the bank was not the best choice in those days, investing in hard assets was.

Dang I have to check again, but I think more like tripled every 5 years.

[The-Shoveler]

You obviously were not of working age during the 70’s and 80’s
or 60’s LOL.

I remember getting 30% raises almost every year.

[The-Shoveler]

kind of un-american, Just kidding sort of.

[The-Shoveler]

I don’t really think much has changed with the entitlement mentality (well for the last 50 years anyway), the only real change is inflation used to have borrowers back to a certain degree. What I remember being told when I was looking for my first house “buy as much house as you could possibly afford, your wages will grow into it”.

The current low wage inflation since 1990 or so is very strange.

I am no an expert, but!!

If your not tearing down/putting up walls, changing electrical or pluming (behind walls).

It does not sound like you need a general contractor,

I can lay wood flooring (about one room a day, took me about one day trial and error messing it up a few times to figure it out).

I think you could find specially people to do each one of the others just shop around a little first, don’t just take the first bid, (very important) don’t pay them except materials, ask for receipts as well, until the job is done, watch them like a hawk.

Anyway JMHO.

I have only been through the Airport in NY but I think I would like to visit the City someday.
I have been to Sydney and Brisbane and Melbourne, Beijing & Shanghai and a lot of other cities in China, even spent a few months in Shanghai) and numerous cities in Europe, USA (too many to figure out).
(even HNL several times).
But never NYC,
Only two things I can say
1)Visit them when you are fairly young (younger the better), (when your old it’s to late to reach the top of the Buddha).
2)I don’t want to live in a real city, they are fun to visit but they are not for me (to each their own here).

[The-Shoveler]

There is no hate from me, I just don’t see the attraction, And I walk on the beach almost every weekend.

Well Price for me,

I have never dropped 500K or more on anything!!

Seems to me, (maybe I am wrong here) but anything you could buy that you could squeeze 4 people into that has a decent school district will run you well over 1M if it is walking distance to beach, (well you may be able to bike from Ocean Side for less than that, but there is also schools to think about)

Now renting is a different matter. Young single, no kids different subject as well.

But hey the minute I get a hold of a few million, del-mar here I come!!

[The-Shoveler]

Yea OK, those places are cool especially if you are young,
It’s just hard for me to consider those cities, more like beach resorts.

Even Oceanside west of the I5 is real expensive these days.

[The-Shoveler]

LOL, You will have to trust me on this, but I get authentic Asian food all the time…

[The-Shoveler]

I know of at least two really really good Asia buffets in TV.
also Pechanga has some really good restaurants if you want to go real fancy.

But you get much better deals I think at the chain Steak/Fish houses.
But OK like you said to each their own.

[The-Shoveler]

hmm OK, I just think it is over hyped and a little late in the city trend game now, but good luck with that.

I just think walking on a golf course when you want is a lot better than having to walk.

Also out side of SF, it really does not work on the west coast very well, L.A. is not really walk able and there is very little that is in downtown SD really.

Like I said, some area’s in the City of L.A. it is not advisable to walk there at night.

[The-Shoveler]

I like it, vague yet hopeful although it does not quite have that sense of perfect state of being, enlightenment if you will.
How about this,
Temecula, find your state of euphoria here.
No that’s not it,
Temecula, happiness found here.
Wait,
Stop suffering already, move to Temecula!!
Dang, I am not getting it, I give up.

OK one more time,
Temecula, it sucks a little less here!!
OK I like that.

[quote=Rhett][quote=bearishgurl]There are TOO MANY prospective BUYERS out there who want a *newer* and *bigger* house for less money. They don’t CARE where its located.

There seems to be a HUGE HOMEBUYING CONTINGENT in “Gen Y” who doesn’t give a rat’s ass about a big lot (too much work) and doesn’t CARE if they have to commute ~1 hr+ to/from work to get the house they want at a particular price point … at least they don’t seem to care at the time they sign on the dotted line…
[/quote]

Though I think these are reasonable points, I think you are dismissing the “wide open spaces” contingent of people that are interested in Temecula. I guess you can get that in parts of Ramona, but that really isn’t that much of a better commute than Temecula, and you are a heck of a lot further from a good part of civilization than you would be with Temecula.[/quote]

What I was getting at, from my experience especially in SoCal, Suburbs (not all but most) start out as bedroom communities then once they achieve a certain gravity (I think Temecula is there now) they start becoming Job centers and sprout suburbs etc…
Having witnessed it several times in Simi-valley, west-lake and Valencia etc… and you could go back to the communities of San Fernando valley etc.. if you wanted to go back in history.
