[quote=spdrun]And there are still parts of SD like that. In the building with my rental condo of the neighbors whom I’ve met, there seems to be a couple where the husband is a shipyard welder, a medical student doing his internship, a psychologist, a retired couple, and an office employee/secretary with a young child. Still seems pretty mixed to me.[/quote]
Again, this isn’t where you live and is your rental. You still didn’t say about how old (a range is fine) you were?
Also, it’s interesting that the people you mentioned in your rental condo building are:
1) no kid 1 income shipyard welder couple
2) student
3) no idea if married or w/ kids psych
4) old crusty couple
4) single mom with no dad kid of a broken home
Seems pretty ghetto to me…Ok, mean of me to point that all out, but none of this even relevant and related to my comment of people/families 30-40 years ago and what they owned. I mentioned FAMILIES with kids OWNING their own single family home, having cars, taking trips, having retirement savings, etc…in modest jobs. You’re talking about a rental condo probably for the majority of the people you posted.
Sorry, but I think I’m just going to add you to my ignore list now since I seem to just disagree with nearly everything you write.
