  1. "They" are the midwest transplants living in SoCal that Mach referenced. If it was about grabbing the transplant market, there are a ton of transplants (both permanent and winter visitors) in the 5th largest media market in Phoenix. Somewhat confused by your point that it's not about viewership, but your example is about viewership. Hey, I'm in San Diego and I get the BTN. It comes with my sports package. My point what is the marginal increase of B1G football/other sports does adding $C/UcLA bring from SoCal. If you were a fan before, you were already tuning in. Are the fickle eyeballs of the LA schools worth that much for the 16 games? I doubt that SoCal viewers are going to pivot their entertainment time to Rutgers/Northwestern 9 am kick just because it's a conference matchup. The entertainment time is important as you need to compete against non-sport LA activities (huge), two MLB teams for Sept and maybe Oct, two NFL teams on generally the same schedule, two NBA teams that start in October, two NHL teams that start in October.
  2. Also David Spade asleep in the left of the frame.
  3. UcLA is messed up financially. They have to rent?
  4. My point is that they are tuned in now. What marginal viewership bump does $C/UcLA provide beyond the two games they play?
  5. Who are they going to schedule for the plethora of Olympic sports that none of the B1G conference plays? If I’m former PAC schools I’d tell them to go pound sand.
  6. The problem with this whole adding eyeballs in the LA/SoCal market assumes that the LA/SoCal market cares about Midwest football. They don’t. Hell, they really only care about SoCal football when they are winning.
  7. Maybe this is your chance to get to a Rose Bowl?

  9. Kinda why I came back home to California
  10. Where we at? Good question. You would think a 7:30 PM kick against Southern Utah on a hot-as-hell Thursday night before Labor Day weekend would have been a huge draw.
  11. Looks like my timeline of hitting every Pac stadium got moved up a tad. Just had Wazzu, Cal and Stanford left.
  12. Wait - Guh. 2024. Still two more beatings to administer to the Bruins. Yay?
  13. Sucks that the last LA game I attend will be at stinking $C. See you in Tempe in November.
  14. Nice. I'm on the home stretch of inking a deal. I don't have a lot of SF and we are pretty frugal with the T-stat (mile from OB, so a bit cooler). Our overall annual usage is +/- 7,200 kWh and I am struggling with upsizing to 18 panels 11,000 kWh production (allows more heat-pump usage and future elect car) or match my current usage (12 panels) or somewhere in between. Even with the larger system, should be $100 less per month with net metering (as long as that doesn't go away with NEM 3, which I am betting we get grandfathered in). SDGE ain't cutting me a check for the net power I supply to the grid, so I guess that's my hang-up.
  15. Yup. Aggressive management upfront on procurement is the key. On a very large deal here in SD where in exchange for the hold-my-place-in-line deposit, GC is requiring subs to sign a form "in exchange for the deposits, no further escalation on these items." We'll see if that holds. Agree that anything with a chip goes to the front of the line. I'll put you in touch with the GC/electrician. They may be motivated after hearing me recite the LD clause from the contract yesterday. Seeing more deals with actual escalation line items up front. Rent increases appear to be supporting the models - for now. YMMV. Good luck! Side note - I bet our paths have crossed and we don't even know it.
  16. I’m not seeing the runaway price pressures in building costs lately. You? Theft still an issue. Got a spare Square D 1,200 Amp 20 meter-socket entrance section lying around?
  17. Maybe we can appeal to the Super Supreme Court?
  18. Thanks. We have engaged an arborist. Maybe we can tag some as mostly-dead. All of them are either in ROW to be dedicated or in the middle of lots so they all have to go. Project includes new plantings, but way below the replacement targets stipulated in the zoning code and/or the PAD.
  19. I'm familiar with ALTAs. You get one for every single parcel? Can't spin one up until you know who the borrower is, at least if the borrower wants to be in listed in the Certification Statement. Can't rely on it if you are not named. At least my experience out west. Noted on the title. Need that for the ALTA, so that goes without saying. Note on final platting. We have some easements to work through. Have a prelim grading plan and have prepared the sponsor on the forthcoming tree mitigation fee shakedown. Good tips. Thanks.
  20. Would love to see this updated
  21. Silly question for you guys, but I am reluctantly assisting on a project in Dallas area. 47 lots for single family. Do I need to arrange for ALTA Surveys or any other survey beyond the final plat?
