one thing NOT COOL about CA Quake jolts San Francisco Bay area SAN FRANCISCO - An earthquake jolted San Francisco Bay area residents awake early Friday, breaking glass and rattling nerves, al...

socalgal Jul 20, 2007

g.f.s.rocks Jul 20, 2007

Yet another reason whe NJ rocks!

socalgal Jul 20, 2007

um ONE uncool thing out of a zillion cool things doesnt make NJ better...TSK TSK

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

But it does, because that ONE uncool thing can destroy Cali and NJ will always be here :)

NJ will just kill everyone with the air. It's ranked one of the worst for air quality.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

HAHAHAHA Avalanches in NJ HAHAHAHA... Hurricanes?! not likely....

Well actually in the past three years we had two bad storms as a result of hurricanes in the Atlantic. But compared to earthquakes, mudslides, smog and the worst traffic in the county (per an AOL article), NJ rocks :) Plus Giacomo, WE'RE here.

But seriously, I can't hate California; I've never even been there. Maybe I'll live there someday...

katiedid katiedidFounder

haha I meant countRy

mudslides are only on the hills....after a torrential downpour and we dont get THAT much rain.

yea, and the highest gas (what, about $4/gallon) and most outrageous real estate prices. Friends of ours just sold their little 3 bedroom house in the Bay area (and according to them a pretty "ghetto" area) for $400,000. No thanks.

I love CA to visit, but i'd shoot myself in the foot before moving there.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

oh yeah. its super expensive. our 4 bedroom house is worth over $700K. there are new condos being sold and they are starting at $450k and thats for 2 bedroom one bath...in an ok neighborhood

So basically CA is a joke to live in unless you are loaded.

I would love to sell real estate in Cali. I guess they canceled the show, "Million Dollar Listing," but when that show was on, I'd watch and just wish to be in Cali selling real estate instead of NJ. We got amazing homes in NJ. But it's exaggerated in Cali loads more. Plus, I think the real estate work ethic is much more fun and extravagant. And, least it was represented in that light. Plus, how fun would it be to sell real estate in Malibu, Hollywood, Beverly Hills? Very! ahhh, dreams.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

seriously...its like you dont know who you'd be selling too..could be a celeb, entertainment figure...BUT right now the market is bad. but when its good...its REALLY good.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Exactly. And I rather sell in a "bad market" in Cali, than a "bad market" in NJ. hahaha

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah there are condo's even right here in LBI going for $399K - TINY condo's not even on the beach

so really Cali is not THAT far off

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

hey the girls are going more for the pin up style. lol

theremin thereminOG 2002

I was curious, I checked my MLS... This active listing of a lower level condo.. 3 bed/1 bath/880 sq ft - $470,000. Crazy. To Gina that sounds cheap tho, I'm sure. The prices at Seaside, Lavalette, Ortley Beach always amaze me. I've been inside this ultra tiny 1 bedroom condo (that is on a private beach, but still) last year, and it was listed for over $800,000. And it didn't even look special at all. You're paying for the private beach basically, but still... is Seaside worth it? And this place looked more like an apartment complex than condos.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 theremin

that is def good for a 3 bedroom condo. but the important question....what city? and location...ya know.

theremin thereminOG 2002 socalgal

That condo's (so-called) in Long Beach Island, NJ. Which I'm not keen on. Decent area, but I'd rather spend that money in another city if I had it. I'd never buy anything in NJ for that much actually.
