We actually could have built more homes on the property. But we chose to stay within the 20 units so that there would be more space and an appealing appearance.

What we see is not a choice for a left-of-center or right-of-center model, but for who is going to administer the model.

In the next two to three months, we'll finish up the paperwork and could start construction in March. With something like this, it's hard to predict an exact date.

I would not have predicted that it (the market) would have been as active as it has been this early in the year. So my instincts tell me that this is going to be a pretty good housing year. I don't think the housing bubble is going to be a reality in North San Diego County.

Bumpers that bump apparently weren't a consideration during the design phase ... Designing good bumpers is no great engineering challenge ... but unless this is a priority we're going to continue seeing many manufacturers using inferior designs.

The four-point harness would be protective, but not as big a benefit as it would have been before airbags.
