My point is that people are told if a house had a murder in it - why shouldn't they be told immediately that there is a known toxic plume under it. Real estate agents are completely irresponsible for not sharing this information and allowing people to make their own choices. This is not...

Every time this topic comes up on this blog I am absolutely amazed at the level of denial in the responses - this is a big deal that people don't know about and are buying houses on top of it. Regardless of whether it proves to be cancer causing or whatever buyers should be told and allowed to...

Nobody ever told us about it when we were looking at homes in Woodbridge - I read about it on my own. Probably would have showed up in the final paperwork (Oh, by the way......but don't worry...it's taken care of) Isn't that what they said to us about the banks a year or so ago - don't worry -...

Woodbridge has a toxic plume from El Toro base underneath it - I know that supposedly they are cleaning it up... There was a thread on here a long time ago about it with a map - search for toxic plume if interested.

Thanks everyone for all your help! Hopefully I can find someplace great!

I am looking into renting a SFR in Oak Creek - not an apt or townhome but a home with a yard! Does anyone know of any websites or realtors that I could contact that would be able to access complete rental listings and email me as new ones come up?? I already did a search of the forums but...

Coming late to the conversation but I am reading this right that since we are over 150K we must pay in 110% of what we will owe during the year??? We are ending up with a tax refund from CA and trying to decide whether to apply it to 2009?

jefa - you are right in the sense that at some point you really can't trust any bank completely - Everbank has said that they had no exposure to sub-prime problems but as you say there are so many other issues to look at... If you have any more insights after you look over stuff I would...

Jefa - what are your concerns about everbank?

that was a great read for both parents and for those who have or will personally go through this process - thanks for posting!

the anti-americanism I was referring to is not what you are talking about green_cactus - but rather an attitude that other countries are so moral and make thier decisions altruistically while we (America) only make our decisions based on money and greed and what is good for America. In my...

ok nowowway - maybe I do need to vote for Obama - good post.. Eva - in my personal experience there are democrats that are educated that are not elitist; however, in highly educated circles - which is where most of my experience lies - you are a minority if you are not extremely liberal in...

nowowway - your statement is assuming that democrats would consider Obama as president 'winning' simply because they are registered as a democrat. There are sooooo many more things that define who I am, what I believe politically, and who I vote for than the simple act of registering as...

my tone was a little less than pleasant wasn't it! sorry about that.... There are certain issues with which I disagree with Obama about but it really comes ultimately down to the fact that my feeling from the Obama campaign is that they fail to recognize the moderate democratic view. I...

Maybe instead of *expecting* Hillary supporters to get behind Obama - perhaps Obama and all his idol worshipers should try to figure out WHY those democrats don't support Obama and address those issues.

hi - I have a roomba too but haven't used on wood floors. I had an older model for awhile and got a newer model about a year ago - newer model is much, much better so I wouldn't suggest buying too old of a model. In order to clean the brushes on the old model I had to unscrew screws - pain -...

wow - I didn't know about the robotic system in the library! My favorite memory is there was a van parked on one of the internal CSUN streets that had a handwritten sign in the window that said "Geography Department" - I took a picture of that.

Isn't it interesting that Northridge is so high considering that they didn't even know the fault existed that caused the big quake. Although I suppose the type of land is part of the calculation as well. I also remember all the bricks laying on the sides of the street in Northridge -...

Are you considering the 'stimulus package' a tax break? If the stimulus package is supposed to get people to spend money they otherwise would not spend on consumer goods then what logical reason is there to exclude people making over 160,000? In fact, those making over 160,000 might actually...

and yet freedomcm - that is exactly how our society is playing itself out - the top few percent are so incredibly rich - millions and millions of dollars - and the rest of the people either aren't making it, barely making or - as I would describe those making between 100 and 200 thousand - are...
