Actually in regards to Scarletts post I think that the statistics help to display that there is a substantial white collar employment base in San Diego composed of engineering, financial, legal, medical, biotech, and military professions. I think that his robust employment base is responsible for maintaining price support in the areas discussed most, CV, Carlsbad, some I15 corridor areas etc… I think there is a disparity of sorts for those who do not enjoy these particular professions in a sense that they may have done okay in the past 10 years but did not enjoy the same income growth as those professions.
Note this is not a fair verses unfair statement but rather a thought on median income household growth from 2000 to 2010. I am curious as well as to how much “growth” was generated from 2000-2004 based on stock options and such.
