San Diego Housing Still Overpriced

[34f3f3f]

I agree with the original post that house prices are still too high, and will probably remain so. What I don’t really see is a direct correlation between this and baby-boomers. There are baby-boomers everywhere yet not everywhere had a bubble, at least in housing. The baby-boomer issue is about how to fund the huge health costs that are adding to the budget deficit at an alarming rate. Liquidating assets to fund retirement isn’t necessarily the way to go. Assets or net worth on their own are not of value. It’s the return on those investments that is important. I agree that it will probably be a combination of later retirement, and higher taxes rather than one or the other, that will ease the situation.

A radical solution might be to have government sponsored retirement schemes with central American countries. Retirees go there for lower tax, and cheaper health care, and manual workers flow the other way. This might stem illegal immigration and escalating health care costs, and bring badly needed dollars into those countries. This is happening already to an extent, as in Belize and Costa Rica, but you want to ensure that if exporting the US model for health care, the same costs don’t follow it. I accept criminal problems in some countries makes the idea unpalatable.

i think the boomers are moving out of the burbs into the cities
and the early boomers are not in great shape because
none of them saved enough.

“Retirees go there for lower tax, and cheaper health care, and manual workers flow the other way. This might stem illegal immigration and escalating health care costs, and bring badly needed dollars into those countries.”

This actually is a great idea. At 57 years old I left Washington DC a year ago where both my wife and I had decent jobs and were saving 25K a year. We did this so I could be close to the surf. Well, the surf is great but we have yet to land jobs. We have a little income so we won’t starve but we can’t save either. Right now I working on some retraining. If that doesn’t work out I am seriously considering heading either to Samoa where I have an outstanding invitation to live in a tropical yoga camp or head to Nicaragua where there is a new 3 b 2 b house waiting for us waiting for us in the charming colonial town of Diriamba (see diriamba.info for more information).

I don’t need it yet but assisted living facilities can cost a leg here. I have long wondered why countries to the south don’t apparently have plans to develop facilities offering comprehensive services in primo locations. We outsource just about everthing, why not retirement and care in retirement? In any event, Nicaragua is my ace in the hole and, incidentally, the weather there in Diriamba is even better than it is in San Diego since down there you get about the same temperatures but there is more rain so everthing isn’t brown half the year. I am sure glad that I have taken the time to become fluent in Spanish. Cheers, Pert.

Pert….I am hoping you have been to Nicaragua. I was there last year, and got very sick (nothing to do with the country, was sick before I left and thought I would get better) and was staying on the Corn Islands. I was scared to go to any clinic on that island, and wondered about the quality of any service on the mainland. Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in Central America. Have you considered Honduras or Belize?
