[quote=moneymaker]How do you count the ones in the garage? I think you could do a similar study where you count how many cars are parked on the street in 1 block during the middle of the day. My guess is 92104 and 92105 would be tied for first place. Maybe we could call it “the welfare ratio”. Although the beaches might skew this study.[/quote]
MM, 92104 and 92105, as well as the beach areas boast many, many thousands of retired homeowners, as well as small and/or useless garages. Did you ever consider that many of the homes in your area might be paid off and occupied by longtime resident-retirees?
Unlike the newer PUD sudivisions in the stix where residents park on every inch of very narrow streets and “easements” after 5 pm and weekends, being able to park on a nice tree-lined wide street in metro SD in a “stable” hood (where there has never been much property distress) is a good thing, right?
Just be happy that you didn’t have 75% or more homes on your street fall into default since 2006 and are not now living with the HUGE squat-mod group, just waiting for the day they can “get out” with their heads above water.
