Well… I live in University City (UC) and I’m female.

The first post I made was about a short sale on my street – wanted to get info on it from the local experts.

Registered so I could comment just over a year ago.
Was lurking about 4-5 months prior to that.

I’m a newbie by pigg standards.

I have no idea why I’m here. I’m on my third house, and it’s the house I grew up in. (Bought from my dad.) Not planning on leaving it till I go to an old folks home or die.

I guess I’m here because the discussions of the housing market are transferable to the overall economy. The bubble was a big part of the current mess and there is a fact based back and forth discussion about that here. I may not be in the market for a house – but I am a participant in the broader economy.

I enjoy the discussions of different neighborhoods. As someone who’s a native San Diegan, tried other states and made a choice to come back – it’s interesting to me to see what people say about different ‘hoods.

And I wish duuuude would post more about battlebots – that is SO cool.

[quote=davelj]I lived in DC and Chicago for a total of about five years and didn’t have a car. I just rented one when I needed one and otherwise used cabs, the El and the Metro. It was great. Can’t do that here, however.[/quote]

Depends on where you live. If you live and work in Downtown you could probably get by with a carshare set up. Same if you live in UTC and work at UCSD – you could take the shuttle bus for the daily commute. I have a friend who lives in Encinitas and commuted to Sorrento valley by coaster, daily.

I will agree that the infrastructure of public transit is much better back east. I lived outside of Philly but was on the R-1/3/5 lines. It was great, I could take the train to downtown or even the airport. (No long term parking on vacations!) I had neighbors that had big families with one car. The parents commuted by train to work. (And location near the train line added value to my resale.)

But, San Diego public transit stinks for the most part.
