Why is Encinitas so expensive?

[CA renter]

While Encinitas won’t always be overpriced, it will always be expensive.
——————

Yes, just as Beverly Hills, Malibu, La Jolla, etc. will always be more expensive than O’side, Escondido, Van Nuys, etc. They always were, and probably will always be more expensive.

The point some are trying to make (I’m in this camp) is that the ratio between high/low-priced areas should not significantly change over time. Right now, the spread is very high, and unlikely to stay there.

The lower end has probably seen the greatest portion of its decline (though will likely see more, just at a slower pace). The high end is just beginning. These things **roll.** It does not happen to all places at exactly the same time.

BTW, it’s much more difficult to replace a $100K+++ job than a $25K job — especially in a **global** recession/depression where the stock markets and credit markets are constrained (less capital to fund new ventures, among other things). People will always need to shop at Wal-Mart. They will not always need to upgrade their software. The high end of the job market is more dependent on “wants” while the low end is more concentrated around “needs”.

The money from starter homes (not uncommon to see $200K+ down payments received from the sale of a crapshack in O’side during the peak) will no longer be able to prop up the next tier…

We have a long way to go, but, “to the patient go the spoils.”

Actually, I was thinking with the amount of new technologies that have been developed over the last decade or two that it was the low end that was under greater threat and some of the high end (realtors, middle managers). I think a lot of manual labor, repetitive task, menial task jobs will be automated away by the next generation. If you run a company and you can have a machine perform the same duties then you will tend to prefer the machine. No sick days, no strikes, total cost is better understood and so on. What we have seen in the last job loss figures are losses in Manufacturing, Industrials, Financial. Alot of these types of jobs are disappearing. Primary example is realty the internet has completely altered the real estate market. The MLS for a given area is available free of charge online there was a time when the only way to view it was via a realtor. Times are changing we are moving into the era of technology and eventually robotics…

There will always be places that have move value than others. It’s a fact of life, get over it op.

Also factor in the retiring baby boomers. There is a ton of them and they won’t die away for another 20 years.

Prices will come down a bit on the coast, but will never be a Lemon Grove…or a Houston or Atlanta.
