[quote=spdrun]Strangely, the stuff that you describe as being at the “top” of the caste system, is the kind of stuff that tops my do-not-want list. I’d rather have a bungalow or condo in one of the beach cities than a 3500 sf monster further inland.[/quote]
spdrun, you must be mixing me up with another Pigg. I never described a “McHome” as being “at or near the top of the caste system.”
Actually, most McHome’s are at or near the bottom (depending on location, of course).
I go by overall equity percentage of neighborhood owners in determining a micro-area’s hierarchy in SD’s RE “caste system.”
Those owners with high-equity stakes are the members of the “caste system” who have “paid their dues.”
