[quote=bearishgurl][quote=Rustico]I was just curious, is this right?
“In Minneapolis, substantial housing development has brought the city’s population to 390,000 – close to the city’s population in the mid-1970s.”
San Diego city/county 1970
696,769/1,357,854
San Diego city/county currently
1,359,132/3,053,793[/quote]
Rustico, the 1970 “City” number looks right but the “County” number looks about 500K too high to me.
The current numbers for SD City/County look correct.
I’m not quite understanding the quote about Minneapolis.
What are the sources of the statements?[/quote]
I just found the Minneapolis quote on some history site. I just don’t think there would be much demand for Minneapolis real estate with a 40 year net growth in population of zero,compared to land constricted, close in parts of a rapidly growing San diego.
I think I got the San Diego stats from wikipedia but that was a long time ago, before tonight’s dinner, so I could have forgotten the source.
One other point of consideration, if you filter the lower income earning, crap apartment dwelling households from 92117, are you going to get a different household income? How much? It would be interesting to know how that changes the comparison to Jstoez home zipcode.
Regardless, I don’t have a hard time seeing the competition driving up Clairemont prices compared to many Minesota locations. Simply a matter of priorities from there….
