Someone said lk was old. If that’s true, I’m knocking on heaven’s door! Parents moved here from the Midwest in the late 1950s when I was six months old. My parents were very bullish on real estate, even at middle-class professional salaries. Keep in mind that the median house price in San Diego County was BELOW the U.S. median until the 1970s. At one point, they owned four houses…two small ones in La Jolla and two in eastern suburbs. I did not know till I was an adult how much of a struggle that was for them. It paid off, of course. They still own three of those, free and clear.
