Dare to be great

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

The City of San Diego recently listened to two political heavyweights discuss their shared vision for the waterfront. One of the suggestions is to move the airport terminals, turning Harbor Drive into a promenade. Talks also included the possible construction of a cruise “mega-terminal” which would significantly increase the number of ships which could be in port simultaneously. The tourism industry applaud this idea. The County Supervisor thinks San Diego can be home to one of the world’s great waterfronts, proclaiming “It’s time for us to dare to be great.” The idea is in it’s infancy, without any real financial plans or architectural designs, but it’s nice to see politicians gather to discuss the potential and future of the San Diego waterfront.

When is a good time buy a home?

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

How about now? Rates are at historic lows and if you have good haggling skills you might get a little more thrown in than the kitchen sink! Sellers and developers in the San Diego will routinely include great amenities from plasma televisions to cars…and while you’re at it have the seller cover closing costs!! As previously mentioned, mortgage rates are at all time lows. We all know that rates being low is good for the average home owner..but which mortgage is the best for you? Check out THIS for a better idea of which mortgage best suits you and your lifestyle. Give me a 5/1 ARM Interest Only and I’m happy, safe and secure.

Downtown San Diego and Politicians

Monday, January 15th, 2007

Found an interesting article at signonsandiego that talks about building a new city hall in downtown San Diego. Nothing really to think about since this project isn’t planned to kick off until 2010, however knowing how San Diego’s politics go they should break ground some time in 2030! The last sentence of the article sums it all up with common feeling about San Diego’s government. ““Somebody has to do it,” he said. “The downtown project is typical of what we have in San Diego. We’re long on talk and short on action.””
