But the high end has fallen tremendously in certain areas. Not necessarily NCC SD but other high end areas across the country and in many parts of SD also. Were the policies set up to support NCC high end RE while allowing it to collapse in LV, PHX,FLA and even East County SD? This is utter nonsense you are putting forth.
Its the middle that is holding strongest as it should.
As for your certain circumstances, well everyone has certain circumstances specific to their own situation and many people have certain circumstances that allow them to buy here. The area you are looking has changed dramatically the last two decades and we have covered that ad infnitum in the past so dont try to throw out the old working class families used to be able to buy in Encinitas. The Encinitas of today is very different than the Encinitas of years long past.
Right or wrong, you are fighting a losing battle. The world is as it is and you either adopt an attitude that allows you suceed in it or you sit by and stew. It really is your choice and only yours.
