ParticipantIf soils are a concern the city typically has soils tests from when the house was first built.
I know we were able to get the original soils report from our 60’s house.
You may not need to do a full geotechnical survey.

ParticipantI know someone who just sold a canyon rim home on Mission Cliff (further west, west of Texas). It was a smaller home and fixed perfectly for the homes style – but commanded a larger price to the OP’s potential purchase.
Canyon rim homes do call for a premium. Ones in good shape absolutely call for a premium.
What you don’t mention is how YOU feel about the home. Your husband loves it. Will you be happy in it?
I got grief from my father when I moved to downtown San Diego in the 80’s (pre gentrification). He said he’d never visit. That was an empty threat. Then when I moved to Philly in the early 90’s he swore he’d never visit… Ended up conceding that both moves were right for me and that my choices were not mistakes.
Sometimes family intends well but is looking through the lenses of their own needs, not yours.

ParticipantThe talk of Asian students pushed to suicide reminded me of the kid a year ahead of me in high school. White kid. Class valedictorian. Committed suicide when he wasn’t accepted to Harvard. Parents have been pressuring kids to succeed for a long time.

You can argue that students can succeed going to Clairemont high school all you want (and I would agree with you), but nobody will listen to you.[/quote]What’s wrong with Clairemont High? I went there. I wasn’t valedictorian and went to SDSU not ivy… but I don’t think I’m a failure.

I have a gorgeous shiny-black cooktop and oven, but not good enough because not stainless steel, and beautiful wood countetops weren’t granite, have 2-vehicle RV access (no credit), and a Yorkie named Frazzle.
[/quote]Yes – but would the Yorkie convey? If not, it doesn’t add value to the house. 😉
