I’ll bet that *has* happened.[/quote]

Having grown up there, yeah it happens.

I generally sell property in the city but there are some freaking crazy good deals in Temecula right now.

You can buy for less than $100 ppsf without HOAs or mello-roos.

Considerations:
At commute time, the drive to/from San Diego can be upwards of 2 hours.
The politics favor a rather contemporary version of reactionary conservatism (think Glenn Beck).
Anecdotally speaking, I have had a lot of conversations when showing property in Temecula that start with “Well I’m not a racist but…”.
Significantly hotter during sunny days.
Significantly larger average house size than San Diego (good for RV’s and toys).
Very high levels of development bonds and municipal taxes (that means total property taxes often more than double other parts of the state).
Close to lots of adult recreational activities (wineries, off-roading, lakes, shooting ranges).
Generally good schools.

I don’t say this to promote or denigrate the area.
It is not a place that I would want to live but a lot of people really love it there.
Others, like me, are content to visit it occasionally and then go home.

My 2 bits.

[quote=sd_matt]I hear your rant about people not participating in democracy. If you think the silent majority will ever become anything other than silent then you are in for a heartbreak.

I imagine that most of the Piggs would stick up for other Piggs (correct me if I’m wrong) because they think alike. They want to get ahead. They have also given up on those that are complacent.

The real fight is not running around with a banner, it is getting the correct information. This is where the Piggs have it right.
You want to make a difference? Then bombard the media with emails demanding an easy to follow map of the political money, or something like it. But so far any suggestion that I have made to that effect has only ( including here ) been met with crickets chirping.[/quote]

And that makes another point.
You only really matter in this country if you can express your will politically or economically.
Those who just sit around smoking pot talking, or those who talk about their inside knowledge while leading a book club, really don’t matter.

A silent majority might as well not exist. If they do something then they are not silent anymore and they do matter.

Anyhoo, my level of political involvement has only been civil disobedience, organizing protests, voting, and occasional boycotting.

[quote=SD Realtor]I think that using the word remunerative is simply awesome! I am not being sarcastic either. No way I could have worked that one in ur.[/quote]

Shocking.
I’m a nerd.

And regarding the op’s question:
While I do think his remarks are dumb, I generally think that bans are a weak solution (especially when we don’t have a single list of illegal communication (at least so far as I aware)). Something like slashdot’s ranking and karma system would be far preferable to simply silencing undesirable opinions (annoying though they may be).

I think unless he has threatened someone or posted kiddie porn or something similar, let the jackass speak. He has the right to say ignorant stuff.

My 2 bits.
