You should drop Neepa and go with usctrojancpa here

If you're living in Lake Merced Hills or The Marina or Pacific Heights life is good, but for the rest SF is not a good place to be

USC is not a target school for Wall St firms but very much so for accounting and consulting (not McKinsey but Deloitte/ Accenture etc). A USC Computer Science degree with a business minor is the highest ROI degree you can get from USC - I lack the business minor but more than made up for it as...

There is zero chance that is true

Those were likely inter-district transfers from wealthy zips, no issue typically,

How? Don't you need to show 3 bills with your name and address? You have to do that just register in our Little League let alone schools. I don't buy that.

You get what you pay for. For $20 you can get a pound of grass fed ground beef, buns and produce to make 4 outstanding burgers with much higher nutritional content. For $30 everyone gets a half pound burger.

He put everything on the line in 99 to buy an apt bldg in SJC after he left a career running a factory for one of the Detroit automakers and then built a sort of distribution business. His son had not other option, but the JC route is not optimal in my eyes as missing out on the first 2 years of...

These friends are the wealthiest people we know so money never factored in. They recently spent 5 years bulding a 15,000 sq ft palace here in San Jose. The dad is brilliant and his sole wish is to help his kids achieve success. His son's turnaround was the greatest gift ever for him and his wife.

We have a family friend whose oldest son barely graduated HS, got his act together with 2 years at a Bay area JC and got into Cal and UCLA, graduating from Cal. UC loves to admit those types of transfers. His ethnicity is from the Levant so no affirmative action working in his favor.

Sadly I don't see the 30 yr budging for quite a while looking at the various CMBS-yield curve spread scenarios nicely analyzed today https://open.substack.com/pub/calculatedrisk/p/lawler-update-on-mortgage-rates-and?r=1ssk0t&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

I'm still in SV but will leverage this for our South OC place once we buy it. Really appreciate the feedback

This place is called Brio Brio during the day and is an outstanding Japanese style kissaten with decadent breakfast items. Next time we're down I'll hit it up when it transforms into Bri Baru.

I mostly eat steak at home grilled over hickory. Saratoga Meat and Fish up here has Oregon Painted Hills beef, the best retail meat I've had. When Whole Foods has dry aged NYs (mostly ribeyes these days) Hopefully someplace in OC carries it. Given how much real Wagyu I've had in Japan (recommend...

I recently had one of the best NYs of my life at this place in Los Gatos - can't recommend enough if you're ever up here https://diodeka.com/dinner-menu/

CG is the best of the chains IMO and they have an awesome bar setup for eating and watching a game - best one in OC IMO. We used to have a Bourbon Steak at Levi's Stadium pre-COVID and it was my favorite for both personal and business dinners. The one at Monarch Beach is good. I also like Salt...

not really - in fact my M3P was much cheaper than the 911 I previously wanted before succumbing to the lure of quiet performance

Is $16K incl paint competitive for full exterior and interior paint including scraping popcorn from the stairway ceiling and 3 rooms upstairs? 1500 sq ft house.

Costco wine selection/prices up here is excellent. I would stay away from the meat after the recent oxygenization scandal.

For me, Uoko for sushi, Houstons for general dining, Capital Grille for steaks, Taco Mesa for mexi, Greek Islands for gyro/falafel
