[quote=davelj]But, alas, he apparently was more concerned about losing his job than about protecting shareholder interests. In my view, for this reason alone he should be fired. [/quote]

I second this view. I mean where is this man’s integrity? I know, I know, integrity, how quaint.

And besides, what kind of negotiator can he be if he caved on the threat of losing his job? Seriously, if the man had any ability as a real negotiator he should have said the heck with you guys. Fire me if you like. How’s that gonna look when I give an interview to the Wall Street Journal telling my side of the story. Hey, sorry, I have a responsibility to my shareholders.

As it stands now, everyone knows he’s a poor negotiator without any integrity. Lots of luck in the future with that reputation.

I can’t shake the feeling that the real reason the proponents want this is so that wealthier areas don’t have to take kids from poor areas. (La Jolla HS for instance has a lot of kids that get bused in from other less wealthy areas.) I can’t prove that that this is a hidden agenda mind you, just a hunch. Of course whether or not there’s a hidden agenda doesn’t make the idea a good or bad idea either.

Brian,

We’ve had a couple threads that tried to discuss this, but never got much interest before. I’m no expert, but a couple points.

1) The permits for doing this are often a lot more than you would think, and the permitting process, with revisions to your plans be very expensive.

2) There are lots of hidden traps to fall into.

3) Typically, you will spend a lot more time involved in doing this then most people think.

4) Lots of people do manage to overcome these problems and do rebuild houses. Some with more success and some with less. So, it can be done, just keep in mind that it will be more expensive and more time consuming and more headaches than you originally thought.

Lastly, it seems to me a hard way to get out of HOA, and Mello Roos. The main appeal is in getting to design, build and then live in your dream house. Not saving a few thousand dollars.

I believe for motorcycles it is required in the state of CA to have your light on.
