Trump is not rags to riches but the American Dream and Hero all the same. How dare I compare? It’s a free country. They both lost it all, found it, lost the girl, found her. So many things to say. First of all they were both true to their dream. In the same earth where so many sell out only for the money, they didn’t. Trump is legit, he does it with Real Estate, Books, Speeches, TV, just call it seeing what is working and making it fit. That is leadership, showmanship all together. He says buy up properties now. Those who can are. Those who can refi will. 

I believe in Spirit. Spirit of Christmas, Spirit of hope and goodwill. The ability of people to overcome against great odds. Our country, our earth is turning over and over. The inventors are working to create a new vision of transportation. The current fossel fuel, craft and graft of so long is expopsed. The dream Buckminster Fuller had of housing and sharing energy for world peace may have its day. If you don’t know about the plan he had it is well worth researching and finding. In a nutshell- take the earth map and flatten it out. See the sun as it moves across the map and let it power and share as it goes across. The old power plants that turn off and on take more energy to start than to run the whole day. So keep it going and move it along to give to the next in line for the sun path. Give energy to the places in the world without, keep it going along the circle of the earth. Countries sharing power will not go to war, they are already sharing what they have most vaulable of all, energy.

TRUMP

The sliding hillsides in Palos Verdes. No concrete foundations will work right where the land is moving. But a goldmine of a view surrounded by land, Trump saw only a golf course would do. He had to learn how to work with the Palos Verdes School system. No hero has it easy.

The movie- Kenneth Turan’s #1 Slumdog Millionaire. I was not sure if I should go alone or with my husband. We just could not deal with another depressing moment. We needed an escape and we got it. A great escape to believe in possibilities. To dream a big idea and be so grateful for the best we have.

We have bought homes over time and missed the pain of the wrong market. We have a rule. Never buy a home we don’t love. We are going to be with it for a very long time. We bought at the top of the chart Nov. 2005 some say. Like the slumdog we will have to work smarter, look for opportunity, and be ever so grateful for so many things. The We I refur to is the greatest thing of all that I have and it is this “We” my husband since 1976. Our family is our treasure.

I believe. I hope and dream. The good is more valuable in every person than ever before. We need each other. We need to stand up together -heroes - every day by every choice.

Isn’t it amazing. This guy is born with the name TRUMP, not Fisher, Smith, Cher, Butz…I could go on and on with the coolness of that name.

How about Terranea? Cool all over right. Last week I found out it is the middle part of the word Mediterranean! It is a vision and it is now real. 2 miles of coastline 102 acres of ocean view. There are only 3 places in the area doing this kind of income producing play place…. Coronado Beach San Diego, The Beach house in Hermosa Beach. It is family and pet friendly too. The places they have thought of the things to do. It is a country club, vacation place for 2 ms in a year. and they help you terraneaterranearent it out and care for it. Dream that came true right? Its wedding central too. Casitas, villas spa, pools one with a 140 ft slide, fire pits, 3 mile trail, 3 restaurants, 24 hr room service. There is too too much to tell. How about a few photos. If you are ready to buy I can help you with the 4.2 it will take to own one of you r own. What a great Christmas present. Hurry, they are going fast. Seriously, FAST.

http://biz.yahoo.com/usnews/080506/06_six_secrets_of_internet_home_buying.html

He suggests www.Trulia.com  and www.Realtor.com. However, I wish he had mentioned www.RE/MAX.com. This is the second largest searched after Realtor.com. Who are you out shopping with?

www.Zillow.com has off pricing (everybody knows, if you didn’t now you do. The good thing they have is every little mls everywhere. The are broad and not deep, in my view.

This is a merge of Internet news and magazine with the Blog. The Blog is where real news can be found up to the minute..I have had news-writers contact me in the past and it is exciting.

Check out our network site www.socalhomeblog.com for the merge of bloggers in our area by .  From Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach to the world!

The South Bay Board of Realtors offers an annual Mayor Breakfast meeting. This year the main theme was Transportation with aging sewer systems coming in a close second. These 2 are always related as to repair one the other stops.Seriously- In Palos Verdes the main issue is “aging sewer” systems as it can cause the caving in of streets. They are combining new concepts such as  re-pipe with liners inside the crumbling remaining pipes. Its an expensive issue and also a  mess. Call it the lawsuit starting to happen. Importantly- you can’t leave Palos Verdes without going through one of the towns in this report. The transportation issue affecting the following areas; Torrance, Gardena, Carson, Lawndale, Lomita, Hermosa Beach, and

Redondo Beach mayors were there. The growth and demand was being handled differently.

Redondo Beach is voting to limit growth in the upcoming months. Carson and

Gardena are putting tons of money in freeway access.

Top 10 issues surprise!1. Transportation45% of all the NATIONS goods go through

Port of

Long Beach and

Los Angeles.  (Please pause and see this)That means transportation out of the ports on our local streets and rail. Check out port information anytime http://www.polb.com/

2. The State has not and my not be receiving the funds allocated to arrive. The elected officials have to fight to get it.3. Aging sewer systems. All built at the same time and falling apart at the same time. mostly the 1950’s The big growth after the War.4. The cities don’t all work together. WHY? Because…Some have Union issues separating, some have State and City money and some do not as independent charter towns.5. They do talk to each other and TRY to work together when and if possible.6. The States gives mandates…that the cities don’t have money to follow.7.

Lawndale has money. Try being a city manager without funds -most of the other cities didn’t have enough.8. The war cost to our Country and the fact that we were fighting it alone.  Paying for local support over there is helping. (details on another blog) 9.The mandate to auto builders to create less gas dependant vehicles

10.

Schools
and Health care are not high on the radar of our cities as nearly 1/2 of the Nations supplies and the Transportation of goods across our local roads crush our streets over the aged sewer system.As we grow so does the ….to hit the fan.  Did I say that?????I need to mention the word Brown Fields. (Environmental, automotive related waste) another blog to be written.
