[quote=SD Realtor]CAR you and I do agree on alot of points. I think the one point we do not agree on is that I feel as if you believe there is no affordable housing for people. I do not believe that to be true at all. I feel that San Diego and other coastal areas are quite expensive, however in no way do I believe that every major city in the country does not have many affordable neighborhoods. I have been on travel alot the past year and I have spent time in cities that offer nice housing for 70k-100k. Nice homes in nice neighborhoods for people.
So I simply do not buy into the hype that nobody can purchase a home unless they can afford a 400k home. It is not true.[/quote]
Absolutely, there are much more affordable houses, even for poor people, in other areas. But what about the working poor right here in San Diego? Unless we want to pay secretaries, clerks, gardeners, maids, cashiers, auto mechanics, etc. $30, $40, $50+/hr, we need to have affordable housing here, too.
