“I’m still not buying it. Realtors who sell in higher priced areas will see more than their share of people with a lot of money. But as a percentage of the total poplulation it’s a very small number of people.”

Trauma centers see a lot of traumas. That doesn’t make a trauma that common.”

JohnAlt you don’t have to buy anything. Your own statement confirms what I said. San Diego as a whole simply is an expensive place to live. It costs more here and it will always cost more here. Conversely more people will be priced out of housing. In fact because of the climate more people will indeed spend more. It may not be important to you but it is to them. They will live coastal and those that don’t wanna spend that money will live inland or in condos.

That is the point of the entire post to begin with. There is only a finite coastal space. Those that want it pay. Those that hope for it to go down to their own level of affordability may get lucky but probably will not.
