fuggy, CA employers DO NOT like to employ individuals “who bought their home in the ’70’s.” Do the math, here. A person who bought a home in 1979 is at least 54 years of age now and probably at least 60. Original Prop 13 homeowners are 55 years old on up. For the health insurance issues mentioned on this thread, AGE DISCRIMINATION IS ALIVE AND WELL in employment and will continue to be so.
Part of the low-wage problem in this region relative to others is our very porous border. I personally know several PROFESSIONALS, including lawyers, living in MX and working in SD County. It is MUCH CHEAPER to live in Tijuana than SD. This will never change.
