Well said. I totally agree with you. I am afraid those times when an senior engineer or scientist could support a family with kids and a nice home in a nice neighborhood are gone forever. Even with public schools.
Unless you get a major gift or inheritance. Even the large tract homes are too expensive IMHO.[/quote]
Isn’t that what supply and demand and market mechanisms are all about?
What’s so special about a senior engineer or scientist that that person deserves anything at all?[/quote]
What is so special about anybody who had earned a graduate degree, put in 10-15 years of good hard work, that’s what. If you don’t think somebody smart and hard working with a lot of experience would deserve anything…In the past, it was certainly good enough. I believe then the market was relatively free.
How does the supply and demand and market mechanisms applies nowadays in the housing market, huh? I’d like to know that. That is why a person like that cannot afford to raise his family the way he himself was raised…
Edit – I was talking especially about San Diego. In other parts of the country, it can still work.
