HOAs can be a can of worms. This area of Escondido may not be the greatest to some of us Piggs, certainly not to me, but it does indicate a decline, greater in less desirable areas, neverthless major. I’m not sure how this compares to SESD. People living in that area w/their minimal incomes can almost afford this w/out trick loans.
I hope this is a sign that there’s hope in desirable areas, where income will be close to allowing one to actually reasonably afford to purchase w/out tricks. Slightly out of reach is quite different than completely ridiculous.
