I know we're certainly rich by somebody's standards, but not by yours.

I'm taxed without representation, which is what the real tea party was all about.

Fuck all you rich bastidges.

Neighborhood's vanilla -- apartments, townhouses, dates from the Sixties -- but I'm not bored. We've got beach, which I hardly ever use as the be-surfed air there often gives me a bit of a raw throat.

The Oxnard metro area is a bluecollar city of big shoulders with a taco stand about every fourth block. SoCal comida Mexicana quite spoils one for the alleged Mexican food to be found in points north and east. Here it's cooked by grandmothers who give it a lifetime's refinement.

Oh man, you live in Oxnard? I grew up in Camarillo!

Our neighbourhood is a bit of everything. There's a well known artist who lives a few doors down from us with a gallery and all at his place, while across the road there's a single Mum bringing up a few kids while working full time. Two streets over there are some million dollar houses and a couple of K's in one direction there's a canal estate with nothing under 1.5 mill. If you go the same distance in the other direction, you end up in the cane fields.

We have a pretty interesting mix in our area. It's nice.

The low income bit is called Crum Creek Manor? Srsly?

Very Beano/Viz.

I live in an Oasis in the middle of commercial and ghetto. It's only 12 blocks and all of the streets are deadends (north and west). The neighborhood was originally created in the 20's and 30's by one of the city's first developers. The house styles are mostly colonial -Dutch, French, Georgian and some Victorian tidbits thrown in here and there. A few of the cottage/bungalow houses are newer, from the 50's and 60's. I live in one built in 1955. I used to own a colonial from 1926 a couple of streets over.

I love the neighborhood, but the zoned schools suck and house prices are extremely high (considering what it's surrounded by). So, I'm probably going to be moving on next summer in order to find a better school for my kindergartener (schools were closed last year, screwing up my 'plan'). I can get a lot more house for a lot less money, if I'm not married to this little 6 block long oasis.

Griff, Which way is my late father in law's place from you?

Griff · 11-05-2010, 09:23 PM

His place was almost due South from mine. I'd have to measure it but it can only be about 5 miles overland.
