ParticipantIf you don’t mind fixed up/but older this one in my ‘hood just came on the market.
http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-110009020-5962_Erlanger_St_San_Diego_CA_92122
$380k for a 3/2 with 1296 sf. But… It was built in the early 60’s and some people only want newer homes.It’s close enough to me that I walk my dog through this area fairly regularly. The downside of this house is that, well, you might run into me walking or biking my dog.
It’s only common wall is in the garage. It’s got really nice common green space – and this particular twin home has a canyon view. Pennant Village has a pool/rec center. I have a few friends who live over there.
And it’s in the Curie boundaries.

My sister would retire in a heartbeat if she could collect 50K/year. (She’s over 50 with 20 years of service as a teacher – this was her second career).
Facts from clicking through the sandi.net site:
http://www.sandi.net/204510720114455247/blank/browse.asp?A=383&BMDRN=2000&BCOB=0&C=56101* there’s no pension for teachers under 55 with less than 30 years with San Diego unified under the CalSTRS pension program. And even at 55 you’d be hard pressed to get $50k unless you made a lot more than teachers max salaries. The max pension under the CalPers pension at age 50 is 36% of the annual wages… and you’d have had to start teaching at age 17. Again – hard to get to $50k.
* the pension is based on years of service and age. If both are lower, so is the pension. Your scenario of retiring with 50k after being a teacher (vs administrator or other higher paid position) is pretty unlikely, if not impossible.
* most teachers DO contribute to a 403b or 457b plan… This is pretty much the equivalent of the 401k.I wish some of the old guard of teachers *would* retire… a few specific teachers come to mind who are “past their prime” but still teaching because they can’t afford to quit.

Come on, downtown today is a much better place than in the 1980s.
[/quote]
It’s definitely more developed. I moved downtown before Horton Plaza was finished… the only nightlife was Patricks and Croce’s. The California was still open and putting on shows. Groceries were limited – Irvine Ranch had a spot in Horton Plaza once the mall opened… this was pre-Ralphs. So I went into Hillcrest to do grocery shopping.but it was fun back then… the start of artwalk – when the artists really lived in live/work spaces that were cheap. Sushi gallery putting on performance art stuff in their old space. The first street scenes with bands like X, Blasters, Los Lobos. Now downtown is gentrified, yuppified, and corporatized. That’s ok… but it’s not for me. I liked the old grittiness. Even if I did have to deal with the occasional whino on my doorstep.
As far as the article… I have no problems with the guy holding onto his building. That was his choice. Just like the Vera Coking, who’s home thwarted Donald Trump in AC.
