Forget asian markets, that house in El Cajon is one of the ugliest houses I’ve ever seen. I thought I clicked on the “worst of the mls” thread. I would drive 4 hours a day to work to not live in that house. I did some calculations, a house over 400k, using my 1/3 of annual income affordability theory, means the income of the potential buyer is 140k. People who make 140k would rather rent somewhere else than live in 1960’s hell. Why even fix it up, your neighbors aren’t going to fix theirs. Your coctail party conversations will include topics such as “why nascar is better than formula 1” “or how meth isn’t that bad for you, it’s all media hype.”
I would be willing to put up some cash if a few thousands others joined in, and buy that place for brian, with the condition that he cant sell it for 30 years and he has to live there. In fact, I think I could sell that as a reality tv show to a studio.
BG, you are a nice gal, but you have to admit that your tastes do not jive with the vast majority of the population. You should take advantage of the fact that you won’t have to compete for things with everyone else.
Personally, I see my house as a place that makes me happy, it’s also a reflection of me, not unlike cars are to some people. But one of the things it needs to do, other than provide shelter, is that it is a component in the ovrall art of seduction. If I lived there, I wouldn’t even allow myself to take my own clothes off, let alone reach any of the bases.
