Where there’s a will, there’s a way. If one can’t afford the area one wants, guess what, there are other areas one can afford. One can also work harder/smart to accrue more money to buy the property they want. Yes, land is finite, but it’ll be awhile before we use them up. Then we can always build up. Anyone can be landed gentry, if they have the smart, the risk appetite, and the luck.
CAR, do you feel that everyone is entitled to have a house in La Jolla at Temecula’s price? If ownership is so important to those renters, they can always move to a cheaper area. There are plenty of other places that one can afford to buy on a minimum wage. I can’t help but feel like you think everyone is entitled to these luxury.
