Schools are not that great here in Carlsbad. It all bull that the goverment wants you to believe. My 13 year has no homework to speak off. The teachers are off all the time doing some kind of crap work. Tons of half days. Dumbed down work so the teachers can look good. In California it is all about the teachers union not the kids. It is a emperor's new clothes situation. People are slowing wising up to it. A big problem with California is the budget mess. Arnold simply borrowed 15 billion bucks last year to spend this year. Now the state is facing another 8 billion dollar shortfall for this next year. Where is the money coming from???? Higher taxes that's where. Hell San Diego has a good chance of going bankrupt. Property taxes will have to be raised, along with sales tax and other fees the bloated goverment will dream up. California has no desire to get its house in order. The state is ran by the state employees, weirdo's, Hollywood and union's. I anticpate that California will go bankrupt. It is the only way out. That will put a dent in the housing market. John
at least they speak english, at least i think they do. in vista a middle schooler was shot in an ambush. it would have been a drive-by, except the shooters were also middle schoolers (12-13 yo). i mean, really sad. you can live forever in solana beach, csbd, del mar and cardiff by the sea - basically west of I-5, or west of sepulveda/PCH if you are in the south bay area of los angeles; the people are generally pretty civilized. if you live in vista, san marcos or escondido, you're basically screwed. im sitting here at 9:30 pm as my hispanic neighbor's dog barks becuase another hipanic neighbor is building at night illegally on his 6-plex. the one guy has like 7 fricking junk landscaping trucks parked all over - in the morning, his illegal alien crews show up and load the trucks up, while dog barks away at 6:30 am (hey, i never miss the market open).. i called the city about all the illegal parking on our narrow hillside street and they came out and painted white lines, so now all the illegally parked cars simply straddle the stupid lines - they refused to put up no parking signs, because "we would have to do it in similar situations all over Vista" - well, no shit! nobody parked in the street like this 20 years ago, but then the demographics were different. i called the cops about the dog one night and they had 49 (!!!!!) calls ahead of me - i told them to forget it. ive got 2 more years before my oldest goes off to college.... i wouldnt buy anyplace affordable in san diego county, you are liable to have three hispanic families (or more) go together and buy the place - sorry for not being PC, but homes and neighborhoods werent meant to be inhabited by 15 people and three dogs per house... so thats why carlsbad is so expensive. the weather is great here, but it cost $800,000 for a teardown in carlsbad. even with easy credit and buck getting whacked, thats still a fist-full of cash.
======= Ratboy88; You my be right on that one canary or one coal mine ???; real estate however is much more diversified than one coal mine. And certified real estate appraisers tend to be much , much more professional/truthful than CBS news, or stock salesmen/analysts.
"RE appraisers more truthful the dan rather" LOL LOL LOL please don't set the bar so high. bottom line there are crooks in every business. if an appraiser wants to keep playing ball with certain institutions then they will do what it takes. .........i guess we will see.
Man...I'm so bad, you could put me up in the north pole with nothing but a pair of underwear and a laptop, and the next day I'd be down by your pool side with a million dollar smile and a fistful of pesos...
man, I swear u either a media pundit or govt. employee. Nothing but roses in ur forecasts. Numbers never manipulate, conned or dreamed up. U just sit there and take it all in, and then try rubbing it in everyone's face. I gonna start calling u "Gullability" Is that ok with you Gullability? Mr. Zen
I wonder how the young kids just getting out of college are going to be able to afford to live in CA.It's nice to know that you work hard for 4 years in college,and for most people,only to come out and realize that you can't afford to live anywhere decent in CA.
Im sorry, but this is getting waaaaay out of hand...lol http://www.realtor.com/FindHome/Hom...419DAB0941BC&snumxlid=1040164213&lnksrc=00002
