So those two counties have higher paying jobs? Each County has a median price of 10x median family income then?
What kinds of jobs exist in those counties to account for the higher pay? And why was the other poster offered a higher salary to live in OC? Different job, same job?
When my in-laws moved here in 1999, they were told that housing is cheaper south of I-8. North County housing costs more. That is what they found, and they moved to Chula Vista. There are some very nice and expensive new areas down there.
Poway is 1/4 low income. Most of Rancho Penasquitos looks like a decades-long rental neighborhood. Poverty is everywhere. We have several trailer parks in Poway. The low income areas are where I see 95% of the NODs.
