Why I am leaving San Diego

[jstoesz]

Every older neighborhood in the country has people living there since the 50’s 60’s etc. Clairemont is no different! In fact if you drill into the zip code demographics. The median age is exactly the same! 39 years old. So I am going to have to call bullshit on this argument.

My point is that if that zip code has a lot of old people move in after they retired then the data is skewed with a lower median income with respect to home price. But there is no reason to suspect that given the median age.

I think Occams razor applies here.

Californians on the aggregate are irresponsible with their money. It has been proven time and time again. The reason why Clairemont cost so much has nothing to do with the old fogies, or weather, or the beach, and everything to do with people willing to spend more of their income on a house than other parts of the country.

Unless they are very wealthy retirees, who typically seek out coastal (read: beach), or golf course properties (read: Palm Sprs) in CA, we don’t get many “imported” retirees here, jstoesz. A retiree from your hometown of “55419” typically can’t afford to retire here if they have lived in “55419” all of their lives!

And, I can assure you that if my “wealthy” relatives from “7****” got a wild hair up their a$$ someday and decided to shop in SD County for a “retirement” or “vacation” home, they WOULD NOT be shopping in 92111 or 92117!!

The vast majority of SD County’s “retirees” have lived in coastal CA all or nearly all of their adult lives. Many, many are natives.

jstoesz, get a clue! No one “moved in” after they retired! They NEVER LEFT!!

After adding in SS, these household’s income is the same as it’s always been. Most were one-income households!
