Big house. Looks like from the over head shot that there are other buildings on the property. You might want to find out how much traffic is on the adjacent street Torrey Pines, it may be a noise issue if it's heavily travelled.
I'm not seriously thinking about that specific property, but one like it would be nice. The detached garage would be perfect for the car collection. I'm not thrilled about the location but I think I would have to scope out the area in person to rule it in or out.

You say "house hunting". Apartment building hunting might be more suitable.
You buy some older style apartment building, designate something as a "meeting room" then fill up the apartments four bunks to a room and rent them out as a "Rehab Center". All you have to do is hire someone to do a head count at curfew time and have a nurse come in every now and then to watch the little plastic bottles being filled and you are rolling in dough.

Much better than investing in a single family home.

I don't know if I could live on a street named Buckaroo Avenue.

Why not? We have friends who live on Cackling Goose [cq] up in Aliante.

i'm not sure I want to buy a $9,999,000 second home. The mortgage on my current home is plenty bad enough.

I found this fixer-upper with room for my Studebakers on Buckaroo Ave. I don't know if I could live on a street named Buckaroo Avenue but I'll have a look when I get there.


It was going for 800K four years ago and 250K now? Thats
just plain scary. Thats a strange house. It has that slanted
roof in every room, especially the bedrooms. I don't like
roofs like that, they deduct from the actual living space and
make it darn hard to put in shelves.

I know a guy who lives on Intellectual Court in Henderson. The other street names in that neighborhood are just as bad. Here are just some examples:

Devotion Ridge
Optimistic Court
Spectacular Street
Encouraging Court
Faith Filled Court

Don't believe me, do a MapQuest search on it. Googlemaps doesn't show all the street names.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

My favorite is Jolly January and Lazy Bear.


Theres something chilling about the cutesy names now that
Vegas is in such dire straits. Like something out of a Stephen
King novel, where all the people on those streets are gone
and the houses are all haunted.

There's a "Chewing Gum" Street (chicle) in Mexico City, as well as one called "Recess" (recreo)
This space is closed for remodeling
