Developing large raw land parcels into residential lots in San Diego County is far more time consuming, costly, and challenging than most people realize. All major projects in the State of California have to go through CEQA screening, a process that requires a set of costly environmental impact studies. If a subdivision of the site into smaller tax lots is approved, the property is re-assessed and the owners will pay property taxes based on the new lot configurations. The expertise required and the financial risk incurred by developers is very significant. The approval process is a matter of public record and the County takes public input very seriously. #RealEstate

The news is circulating a story about how millions of U.S. Passwords

The news is circulating a story about how millions of U.S. passwords are conveniently being offered for sale by a hacker over in Russia for around 10 bit coins, or around $5,810 US dollars. Here's the deal; If the FaceBook guy can get hacked, you can get hacked. Once they get in one account, they can use all of your account information to try to get into your other accounts. If you are a small business owner, do not allow your browsing software to save passwords - Ever. Have unique passwords for every account you log into. Use the safe mode (this is called Incognito mode in Chrome; hit the Ctr, SHIFT, N keys at the same time) when logging into sensitive sites, especially banking sites. #SmallBusiness #RealEstate
