San Diego Reader: It’s Getting Ugly Downtown

[equalizer]

[quote=barnaby33]Equalizer, was that one of those statements like, “48 of 50 states are above the national average in high school education?”

By even the most generous of statements, median income for a family of 4 is 82k. A little more than half the 150k quoted.

Another interesting tidbit is how you allocate your money for that supposed middle class family. 20% to savings, are you joking? Almost nobody saves that much.

Fuel and car payment 400, in what decade? Most new cars are over 20k and everyone I know who has bought a car in the last few years has a higher car payment than that.

529 plan, is that something you added just to round things off? Again median income earners do not for the most part even fully fund their 401k let alone an IRA or 529.

Again, I think there are some VERY warped notion of what middle class really is and historically was.

yeah, you got the joke.
My numbers are for typical Piggs, not middle class.
I’m sure someone can find the thread that discusses the numbers in detail. I was just stating that Pigg in my example cant shop at Nordies, which reinforces your view that bubbles everywhere.

Some high priced areas require 150,000 annual income for middle class living. In most of the country $150,000 would make you upper middle class or even rich if you are frugal.

Equalizer, whew ok! Just needed to check. I’d be reasonably certain that this community in particular doesn’t attract median income earners for the most part.

Every time I look at Craiglist(lazy mans mls.) I still see the same overpriced downtown condo’s not moving. With lots more inventory coming 09 should be fun!

As these condo prices start to get pummeled, keep one critical think in mind, an HOA association that’s poorly funded is hell to part of. Make sure occupancy is mostly owners and at 80% or greater.
