We have known Jim & Donna Klinge for over a dozen years, having met them in Carlsbad where our children went to the same school. As long time North County residents, it was a no- brainer for us to have the Klinges be our eyes and ears for San Diego real estate in general and North County in particular. As my military career caused our family to move all over the country and overseas to Asia, Europe and the Pacific, we trusted Jim and Donna to help keep our house in Carlsbad rented with reliable and respectful tenants for over 10 years.
Naturally, when the time came to sell our beloved Carlsbad home to pursue a rural lifestyle in retirement out of California, we could think of no better team to represent us than Jim and Donna. They immediately went to work to update our house built in 2004 to current-day standards and trends — in 2 short months they transformed it into a literal modern-day masterpiece. We trusted their judgement implicitly and followed 100% of their recommended changes. When our house finally came on the market, there was a blizzard of serious interest, we had multiple offers by the third day and it sold in just 5 days after a frenzied bidding war for 20% above our asking price! The investment we made in upgrades recommended by Jim and Donna yielded a 4-fold return, in the process setting a new high water mark for a house sold in our community.
In our view, there are no better real estate professionals in all of San Diego than Jim and Donna Klinge. Buying or selling, you must run and beg Jim and Donna Klinge to represent you! Our family will never forget Jim, Donna, and their whole team at Compass — we are forever grateful to them.
An important feature to some is “Do they float?”
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.
Personally I will wait for an autonomous RV. Press the “Yellowstone” button and kick back to binge watch season 12 of “the Magicians” on SyFy channel. For those in the know, they are just starting season 3.
I recently discovered there is something called a Park Model RV, which is legally a trailer, but designed to be semi-permanently located:

These would be a possible way around restrictions on building granny units. Just buy one (or more!) of these, park on the extra space on your property, hook up utilities, and post the For Rent sign.
Note that there is also the tiny house movement which are essentially Park RVs as described. They are on wheels and typically 400 sq foot or so.
With the “drive themselves” technology available, if put to good use be the manufacturer’s, makes navigating those big boys accessible to anyone with a driver’s learner’s permit, particularly dealing with a 5th wheeler. Jim could hand the wheel to anyone in his family, and they could plop that thing exactly where they wanted with no screams, or begging for help.
I think those trailers Ross mentioned will be a favorite for folks up in Oregon, as they hightail it out of California, which is a different planet from when the world was young for boomers, and make the best of what they got.
Homeless skyscrapers! In prime downtown areas! With free WiFi!
We’ll incorporate the district! We’ll call it… “Hoboken”
You guys go ahead. (distributes ray-bans to face, miami vice style)
I’m riding this state into the sun…

Tiny houses are hipster millennial hubris. Virtue signaling.

Why, yes they do.
