when's it opening?

how about a 3rd option, like not taking the money in the first place

How much do you want to bet that TIC lobbies the government to cut funding for/dissolve such agencies? 

I have an EEEE shoe size and I find it hard to locate any brands that might accommodate me...so I end up buying a lot of New Balance (Who has EEEE) for sneakers/running and Clarks (Who has XW) for comfortable dress shoes.  Amazon has sales on NB frequently, I have grabbed NB 993's for...

Next month is going to be a presentation from this guy:

Yesterday I was driving down Osterman Rd. where these things are and, if you are familiar with the street, passed by the section where cars line both sides.  Poor apartment complex planning I guess.  Anyway, I saw an empty parallel space with the telltale glass shards where the driver's side...

Well, keep in mind that the HOA/MR difference between the two is what, $350 per month?  You'd have to knock maybe close to $100k off the Cortona purchase price to truly make it even.  Though I don't think it'd go that far...  I mean unless you're saying LA is less desirable than SG now, all...

test, the salesperson said it was $5,400 or so MR for Plan 1. 

ah okay.  That's more like what I was expecting.  Meanwhile, it was the salesperson at Mirabella at Columbus Square that told me that the MR was $5,600 per year. 

Really? I was told that it was $5600 per year by one of the salespeople.  I'd love to see written proof of that.

Plan 1 is actually not bad for the (lowered) price, but I wish that den was a proper small bedroom.  That being said, I think it is an efficient use of square footage.

Well they still had "elections" in the USSR during that era...there was just one person for each position on the ballot :)  they had to bribe people with free drinks to come vote. If they did that here maybe Hank Williams, Jr. could really become president.

Yeah, usually when there is only one owner in that particular district (landowner/builder)

Seems like Columbus Square is one of the worst spots.

Great movie. 

Yeah, then you can pull up in your RedBull car or AutoWraps-infused car that advertises GoldenPalace.  Free car and low cost housing is here!

I think a great reference would be to compute the total housing cost for each new development assuming a 30 year fixed at a few benchmark interest rates (maybe 4, 4.5, 5) with a few different down payments (maybe 20%, 25%, 30%).  Maybe put a sticky on top of each new development's thread?  That...

okay because I was told by the agent directly that Augusta Plan 2's MR alone is $6,400/year.  I also was told the MR alone for Mirabella would be over $5,000/year...which is more than 1%.

How are you getting such a low figure for Augusta/Mirabella?  Augusta is just under 1% of the PP for Mello/year, Mirabella is well over 1% of the PP for Mello/year.

Mello Roos payments aren't usually tax deductible as far as I know, whereas mortgage interest usually is.  Also, you can't pay off Mello Roos early in most cases like you can pay off a mortgage.  Also, I do compare that.  Augusta Plan 1 vs. Maricopa @ SG Plan 1, even though there is a $100k...
