[quote]Your saying is right. But the fact is QC recruited thousands of people outside San Diego in past 10 years. Many of them had accumulated good fortune before came to QC. So it’s no surprise to see the CV price is so steady![/quote]

Except there are only a few areas that I can think of for which acumulated wealth from salary/compensation are high enough with current SD prices.

1) Bay area
2) NYC

I doubt there are many #2 folks. Talk about culture shock. And right now, anyone enginerd that “needs” to relocate from #1 down to SD for job reasons would leave me perplexed because employment up there is considerably better than down here.

One observation, there are definitely a lot of dual income families in CV.
