ParticipantI agree with spdun,
Most People will still want their own cars (They want to keep a large amount of stuff handy + most people don’t go to “1” store then go immediately back home etc…)
(Me) Cities (downtown’s) in Socal are almost laughable, there in no way more than say 3 or 5~ percent of the population can live there or even be really close.
Suburbs turn into large cities fairly quickly.
You can almost think of all SD county coastal as one large city (I-15 corridor not too far off). Carlsbad even Oceanside have been growing very fast.
What was the number I think 25% growth over the last 15-20 years? Anyway it does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.

ParticipantYes we should stop being the world police, manipulate our currency and give more subsidies to tech companies (and industry in general).
Encourage corporate IP theft and only send our troops if there is something in it for us.
Just kidding sort of.
ParticipantI did not say I wanted to continue military spending.
BTW don’t be too surprised to see china eager to step-up their military spending and military actions around the world filling any void they see.
The only thing stopping them is us (and a lack of real world experience at foreign warring).
Vet-Nam and others around the regions are not happy about it.
I can see us one day soon saying OK, we are done with this expensive game, you guys are on your own.
BTW It was Trump who said “no more stupid wars”.
Not saying Trump is good or anything, but it was one of the few points I agreed with.
China might find it hard to hold on to their new foreign assets without a military presence.
I guess we will see, the future is the great unknown, it always confounds the experts and surprises everyone else LOL.
ParticipantDid I just hear no more stupid wars?
I think I heard that before LOL.
Maybe you should try immigrating to China (not easy to do BTW).
ParticipantI think you guys dismiss Japan too readily,
They are still the worlds third largest economy, and have been innovators for a very long time.
Robots and AI will be far more important than cheap labor over the next 100 years.
For that matter the USA too.
ParticipantRecent Talk of RE slow down maybe over hyped
See note below from Contrarian Smead Capital Management
The flattening of the yield curve and fears of a U.S. recession are creating stock-picking opportunities in banks, builders and entertainment. While the economic recovery is proving to be the nation’s second-longest on record, those expecting an end to this cycle look “foolishly premature,” CEO William Smead wrote in his latest letter to investors.
The best days are still ahead, he said, as “this recovery really started two years ago,” when home building began boosting growth. The money manager’s optimism stems largely from U.S. demographic data, which suggest to him that an increase in the number of 30 to 39-year-old Americans and an uptick in babies per household should fuel demand over the next five years.
Smead, which managed about $2.2 billion as of June 30 and is known for its contrarian views on tech, owns home builders NVR Inc. and Lennar Corp., and sees “a favorable entry point as they satisfy under-built home markets nationwide.”
Smead owns Bank of America Corp and American Express Co.
Participant” I would like to see US cops driving European cars.”
Sure just as soon as I see German cops driving Fords.
” Our water districts and airports could be privatized and run by European companies.”
Please no.
ParticipantLOL Tell that to Cisco.
It’s actually more about government sponsored and owned industry getting subsidies and Currency Manipulation.
Even Obama recognized the corporate and defense espionage and Currency Manipulation.
ParticipantWe may want those Agricultural products here.
They are already talking wheat shortage.
ParticipantIt means things are still fluid.
No one would win a real trade war, especially not china in this case.
ParticipantThe China Tariffs as well as the EU Tariffs are still very much still in the negotiation phase.
U.S. Senate quietly votes to cut tariffs on hundreds of Chinese goods
The EU tariffs are likely to disappear completely on both sides which would be a win for the USA.
ParticipantSeriously after the news recently about bad tweets and FB posts, I am surprised everyone is not deleting their accounts.
The only reason I would use it is for Biz. and I would keep it strictly biz.
ParticipantIf they haven’t already, some party should hire you (does not matter which one I think you could really do a good job regardless).
I will leave it at that.
