Let see then in our case what that would mean. ONe income = 75K. 3 x that. $225K. Can you tell me what kind of decent house we can buy with that in lets say UC (older, non-tract houses, stable retiree neighborhood), or in PQ or in SR? That’s right. ZERO. No, it would buy a 2 bdr small apt. A 3 bdr 1500 sf house is about TWICE that, at least. Which is why we need to spend both incomes. q.e.d.[/quote]
Plenty available down in Chula Vista – a very middle class community – in your price range. Or perhaps there’s something about Chula Vista that you find objectionable…
The word “decent” when applied to almost anything is quite subjective, yes?[/quote]
No I don’t object to Chula Vista at all, and we even very briefly considered it (it was in an older thread), if it wouldn’t have been for the commute to LJ village. I have a coworker who does it at rush hour and hates it. But it’s close to their families.
BTW, by “decent” I meant not a major fixer upper for which we don’t have the money. I wasn’t refering to location, since that was already kind of implied before. I mentioned the UC, where BG thinks I should buy (again, older thread), and PQ where we’d think we should buy.
