so yea, this is true. I'm usually so dead at the top I opt for the quick dh, but I'm going to get in the habit of looping in the mustang.WR should always be ridden with full Mustang before heading back up into Maverick.@Adventurous was missing the good stuff on Mustang by peeling off through the campsites before wifey and I showed him the error of his ways.
it seems like you can get about 50% less sq/ft house for about 50% more money.
My priorities say fuck that noise.
There are, but they aren't necessarily in any places that we'd want to live - most notably because of schools. We've been looking at moving into notably more expensive parts of HR just to get into better schools. Those same neighborhoods are $900k+ in OC.
Don't I wish. Wifey's company is in serious trouble and she's getting laid-off as of the end of the month. Monocle money be gone... Also, all of our monocle money is tax-deferred - we can't touch it for a long time.
yea, admittedly I don't know jack about the neighborhoods / barrios .
Houses in south OC, where we'd want to be, are stupid expensive. Getting out towards Tustin/Anaheim you get into more reasonable houses, but schools fall off pretty quickly when you're in the flats (vs. foothills).
My brother was trying to get me to move to Silicon Valley. Tried to explain that my job doesn't afford Silicon Valley money. Almost all of California is expensive, even the sh!tty parts.
Well for the sake of the stoney conversation, MV aint' OC. That house would be $500k in Golden too.
Adorable. 3 bed, 2 bath, 1300 sqft. This house if it were in a nice area in Portland would be $500k (would have been $40k when I moved here in '93).
This house is $1,388,000 in Mountain View, CA.
920 sqft?! Talk about living in excess! I wonder what one does with all of that extravagance.
2 bed, 1 bath 920 sqft for $1.2M
Yeah, I told them no a couple of times when they called me and asked if willing to move to CA for them.
Portland?
2 bed, 1 bath 920 sqft for $1.2M
Ditto, though it was Apple that was interested in me. Sorry guys, not gonna happen.
I interviewed at a number of high profile places when I was younger (45 is WAY too old for most tech) and while a "six figure income" sounds great, $120k does not afford $1M shack. A friend from Intel went to the bay area for a 6 fig gig, only to pay $3k a month for his apartment that didn't include parking.
It's likely a scrape. You pay for the property and re-build accordingly. Wifey's cousin bought a pretty beat property in SV a few years ago and totally refinished it. They'll probably clear ~$500k when they sell it and move to ID. It's all about lucky timing sometimes...

No, that was another front page Zillow in Mountain View. My brother lives in Santa Cruz, but he stole his house in '93 when it wasn't quite insane yet. Portland is pretty crazy, there is a lot of tear downs of epic Portland area homes.
There are a ton of tear downs. They just changed the zoning in my son's old 'hood to allow 5 story buildings. They are putting in 4 story apartments with ground level parking. Not only has it killed the views, but it packs WAY too many folks into a tiny area.
WR should always be ridden with full Mustang before heading back up into Maverick.
i got:Me too, I've just acquired a four pack of Trillium A Street IPA.
Ain't nobody got time for that. I'm all about the short loop of Belcher->Maverick->Longhorn->Whippletree.WR should always be ridden with full Mustang before heading back up into Maverick.
i hope stupidity like that is painful.
Ditto. If I'm in the mood for a bit more pedaling I'll take Mustang all the way down, otherwise I'll take the Sawmill cut off so I can get an almost continuous downhill to the creek bottom. That route never fails to put a smile on my face.Ain't nobody got time for that. I'm all about the short loop of Belcher->Maverick->Longhorn->Whippletree.
Mustang is fun, although the rolling climb after the fun initial descent could be shorter in an ideal world.
Unless you already spent your monocle money on the monocle to begin with, then it's all show and no go.
19.2 Billion dollars has got to hurt.
mmmm dedicated bike storageOh wow, so on a whim I decided to check out the apartments by Bmans old place.
1 bed, 1 bath 559 sqft. $1700
believing in the clean diesel...
That's the hallway, but if it helps you justify the cost by calling it that, ok.
I agree - every time I've done "The Full Monty" at el Rancho Blanco it has been Belcher to the tippy top, Mustang to the bottom, Belcher to Maverick, then Longhorn to finish.WR should always be ridden with full Mustang before heading back up into Maverick.
You've got to speculate to accumulate, in business, like.
