CEO pay, declining compensation for MD’s and lawyers

[FlyerInHi]

spd, you’re pretty optimistic.

But look at where people are raising their kids (or want to).

Good point on safety but perception is reality. Few parents want to let their kids walk home these days.

[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.

“Ghetto” to me would imply laying about drinking cheap beer or doing hard drugs; not working, studying hard, or being retired. You have an odd idea of what constitutes “ghetto.”

We’re talking about normal people of different backgrounds, some blue-collar, some white-collar.

My dad drank dewars. I drink old crow usually. But to nite laphroaig … things are lookin up for old Gil.

Good idea joec. You are debating a pathological liar that has admitted to only visiting and never actually living here. He is a 30 something slacker who hates authority. Based upon his posts, he purchased a dumpy 1 bedroom rental in Mission Valley for about $100,000. This is the cheapest 1BR to be found in that area and can only be one place (East of the 15). And it is ghetto.

Ghetto is south-central LA. Maybe SESD. Parts of Oakland. WW II-era Warsaw and Lodz in another sense. Ghetto is an ethnically homogeneous often poor neighborhood, which is pretty much the diametrical opposite of what I’m describing.

If you think that the area of which you speak is “ghetto”, you’ve lived a pretty sheltered life. That is all.

I patroled south-central LA, you lived in a wealthy suburban enclave of NYC and had everything paid for your whole life. I know ghetto quite a bit better than you but you will find out soon enough. Its ghetto. That is all.

You’re too literal. In this context, ghetto just means not palatable. Like hometown buffet and walmart are ghetto.

Today, I think average Joe 6p is struggling to pay monthly bills. He lives to pay bills. Debts galore.

Well paid professionals and above are doing better. more choices and option… Upscale restaurants, consumer products, travel choices and resort destinations that didn’t even exist decades ago.
