This is the statement that kicked off this fun fest…
[quote]So either the place is swimming with imported retirees which in Clairemont I highly *DOUBT*. [/quote]
You are killing me. My point is that 55419 is not a place that imports retirees either, many of its residences have been there for 40, 50 years too! NEITHER place imports retirees. The median age is the same! Therefore, your argument about old people living there does not compute. It is spurious because the both zips have similar age demographics. Just like every other neighborhood in the country, except the La Jolla’s and palm springs of the world. We are comparing apples to apples in terms of demographics…but one is twice as expensive.
In other words, old people are not why Clairemont is expensive.
