My hosting provider is knowingly destroying “my” data, and I was livid when I found out. But it turns out that this is normal practice for many (if not all) shared-server providers, even if they do not immediately disclose it.

Case-Shiller Index Favorable for San Diego
The Composite 20 report features San Diego as one of three cities to see annualized gains over 10% from June 2009 through June 2010. Minneapolis and San Francisco were the only other cities to see such gains in the 1-year period; five cities experienced declines.
Monthly gains w...ere smaller -- San Diego was one of ten cities to gain less than 1% from May to June of 2010.
San Diego Sees Larger Than Average Annual Gains
R. Alan Smith Here's an article definitely worth a read.
You look back 10 years, what did you get? A little bit cleaner and deeper in debt. With apologies to Tennessee Ernie Ford, that’s a brief synopsis of how U.S. home life has changed during the past decade.

San Diego's Economic Index Rises in July
As noted yesterday, home sales are down, but prices are up -- and today comes word that so are San Diego job openings, new construction, and consumer confidence.

Everyone Loves SB 1275 -- Except the Bankers
Lending lobbyists have ramped up their efforts to block SB 1275, a homeowner's protection bill, and politicians seem to have noticed. After passing the Senate and meeting with success in Assembly committees, the bill has failed to gather the necessary yes votes in the final r...ead. A reconsideration vote will be taken tomorrow (Tuesday).

Good News: Home Sales Drop in San Diego Slightly Lower Than National Average
Last week it was reported that national home sales dropped 25% in July (from the previous year). However, the news gets better the closer to home you get -- in California, the post-tax credit falloff was 21% -- and in San Diego, it was 15.2%. P...lus, prices locally gained 4.6% and foreclosures were down 32%.

Two New Federal Homeownership Programs Waiting in the Wings
Two new programs will be rolled out soon by the HUD (via the FHA). One is a refinancing program, the other is an emergency loan program for unemployed homeowners.
The government is still debating whether another tax rebate would be a good idea or not. Gov. Cris...t of Florida, with the 3rd-highest foreclosure rate, strongly encourages a new tax rebate.
Also, an Emergency Loan Program is Planned
R. Alan Smith Stand by for details but chances are VERY GOOD that we will be able to offer two new and FREE member benefits through C.A.R. starting January 1, if not sooner: 5-year document storage that integrates with ZipForms AND digital signatures (Digital Ink and/or DocuSign).
R. Alan Smith Once upon a time the merits of home ownership were written into our collective DNA. Today the very idea of home ownership is under attack. Can you convincingly articulate the merits of owning a home? This article should help!
Many home purchases could still end in grief financially, particularly in hard-hit areas. But most probably won’t.
R. Alan Smith At C.A.R. 2011 Presidents Leadership Symposium in Los Angeles, 2011 ESDCAR President Kerper says something profound about the prime rib dinner just before his PSAR and NSDCAR friends and I sang happy birthday to him (during someone else's happy birthday song).
