The only place on that list that is even in remote proximity to JOB(S) is Oxnard, and even so that is a bit of a stretch. Horton oughta lose their ass for building straw houses out in the desert. It just doesn't surprise me that places like indio and stockton are having people walk away right and left. Granted housing sales are down in general, that post is showing just how stupid home builders and buyers alike are in california. e.g. A 50 mile commute to a $35,000 a year job looked sensible to some people... Where this whole mess is headed, is some kind of bailout of these idiots by the local figureheads who were all in the pockets of the developers to begin with. The scarry part of this, is... this may be where you see those infrastructure dollars go... to support these developments and keep them from becoming teardowns or blighted communities. V

TJ, I inspected some properties north of Escondido in the UnAuction site a few days ago and they do look tempting. As I mentioned [in a post] I wondered about water supply, since it's quite a desert environment. But I wouldn't need lots of water anyway and could cart truckloads in now and then from import wharves near Oceanside bringing wonderful water from the Deep Cove tail-race of Lake Manapouri electricity generation. I could buy some supertankers which previously shipped oil if oil supplies dwindle [due to insurrection] and transport wouldn't be very expensive per litre. A supertanker shuttle service would be quite profitable. The properties were not cheap enough for me to get excited. I can see how they'd get cheaper for Americans who need to work because the commute is too much with oil costing a lot. It's better for them to sell and move to an apartment downtown, or sleep in their cubicle at work. 50% off sounds good, but that's off a fantasy list price which had no relationship to reality.
