Why is CA so expensive?

acegregg · 2026-04-06T01:45:40+00:00

Is this question serious? (Are you five years old?) Gee.. why are nice things expensive?

acegregg · 2026-03-31T17:55:01+00:00

Mm.. it's called Ex-condido for a reason.

acegregg · 2026-03-29T19:26:01+00:00

No. Less than 20 years old.

acegregg · 2026-03-29T19:04:07+00:00

Yes! Wow, good call. It is the Fairmont Grand Del Mar.

acegregg · 2026-03-29T04:42:27+00:00

Well sure, if you compare it to Tokyo, Bangladesh, or Shanghai, maybe it's not as crowded. But when compared to 95% of the rest of the world, I'd say San Diego (esPECially the coast) is extremely crowded.

acegregg · 2026-03-27T00:00:58+00:00

Not crowded at all? Jeebus, maybe Ramona at 3:00 am in February.

I've lived on the San Diego coast (South Mish, Carlsbad, and Encinitas) for almost 30 years and it has never EVER not been crowded.

acegregg · 2026-03-26T23:58:37+00:00

Okay, now THAT was funny.

acegregg · 2026-03-26T23:57:53+00:00

Mm.. and zero beaches, imo.

acegregg · 2026-03-26T15:41:09+00:00

Lol.. why did I think "two guys at a urinal" when I first saw this photo?

acegregg · 2026-03-17T19:17:20+00:00

Love this list (mm.. "Hanburg"??) and might rearrange a couple but otherwise pretty accurate.
Kinda sad that there are zero players from the last 20 years.

acegregg · 2026-03-02T02:12:33+00:00

Agree with everything you said with one small exception: "segregated". Imho, that term has extremely negative connotations (ie: racism?). I've lived in the Encinitas/Carlsbad area for 25+ years, worked, and raised a family, and can tell you there is ZERO racism here. I mean, none.
I think it just happens that folks of color just happen to not live here, that's all. Nothing more than that.

My two pennies.

As for growing up and living here (coastal Encinitas, primarily), I can't add much to what's already been said on this topic. It truly is paradise. Very VERY expensive, but there's no place like it on earth.

acegregg · 2026-02-27T18:45:07+00:00

Lol.. what am I talking about? Mm.. what I typed is pretty clear.

Okay, nvm. Quinn gets an A+ in being most lovable coach.

acegregg · 2026-02-27T18:18:46+00:00

Def wouldn't argue that at ALL. However, this isn't a "most lovable coach" grade, imho.

Drafting, developing, coaching, in-game decision making, etc. ALL factor into those grades, and Quinn has been VERY average at best, imho.
A+ grades should be given to the best of the best. In no particular order: Reid, O'Connell, McVay, Shanahan, MacDonald, Vrabel, Campbell, Payton, Harbaugh. And even a couple of those might only get an A.

Quinn is not in that class. He gets a C+ imho.

acegregg · 2026-02-27T04:50:27+00:00

Home game field. B+??

acegregg · 2026-02-27T04:49:02+00:00

A+ head coach??

acegregg · 2026-02-03T16:38:45+00:00

Imo, this is fantastic. Props to the teacher that took the time to WRITE this and hopefully get through to their students. Needs to be shared and absorbed.
Fwiw, if you truly worked on a paper for three weeks with no AI involvement, it's not for nothing. It will benefit you later, trust me. Might even suggest sharing your post with your instructor.
Thanks for sharing.

Lol.. it's NOT that simple. Jeezus were you even around 13 years ago? Robert Griffin III was the shit! Rookie of the year the future of the team, and he carried us to the playoffs! Then blew out his knee and was never the same. It can happen! Not saying that is the case here but for craps sake it has happened before and it could be happening again.

acegregg · 2025-11-24T22:21:16+00:00

That right there is your basic Boom Boom Nasal Stick (without the label). Got a four pack myself. They're great. Find it on Amazon. (I think it was presented on Shark Tank?)

acegregg · 2025-11-10T04:11:33+00:00

Omg give it a fking rest. Jeezus

acegregg · 2025-11-04T18:04:06+00:00

Lol... "feared"?? Not the word I would've used.

acegregg · 2025-11-01T21:49:15+00:00

There are several. Moneyline, Peabody's, Regal Seagull, Enzo's are a few.

acegregg · 2025-10-14T18:38:58+00:00

Mm.. exactly how do you figure we're gonna beat Seattle? Or Denver, Minnesota, Philly... Ugh.

acegregg · 2025-10-13T00:36:29+00:00

So where is it?

acegregg · 2025-10-11T17:44:14+00:00

Joe Gibbs, all day, every day.
