Today’s LA Times headline news

[carlsbadworker]

Richard Toscano, who in 2004 started a popular San Diego housing-bubble blog called Piggington’s Econo-Almanac, lately has been posting data showing home prices are favorable compared with incomes and rents in lower-priced parts of San Diego.

He’s drawn fire from some, but others who have followed the blog for years have recently posted comments detailing home purchases. Toscano, who sold his San Diego condominium in 2002 (he said the sale was due more to a job transfer than his belief in a bubble then), is still holding off on buying for various personal reasons, he said.

But he thinks it’s no longer dangerous to buy in some areas.

“We have this weird, disparate bottoming,” he said. “In some areas we may be there already, but others are not nearly as close.”

—- Will the article draw some crowd to this site?

Will it draw people to this site , probably,

But if you know what L.A. Prices are for what you get in housing… I would say it will probably draw people to SD (you still need to pay 350-400K for a 1000 sqf match box built in early 60’s in a neighborhood that looks a lot like the green zone with a high school dropout rate exceeding 30% in a lot of L.A.).

Oh and the 30% dropout rate has been touted as a big improvement over last years close to 50% dropout rate.

I’ve been following a couple LA neighborhoods and I can’t believe what people want for them. Houses that sold for barely over $200k back in 2000 are still listed over $600k these days. And the house in the video… Los Feliz ain’t that nice.

The Burbank / Glendale / Pasadena area will come back down to earth at some point.
