Once we drill down to the actual group of homebuyers, their median income will not be 70k any more, it will probably be closer to 100k.[/quote]In my little shop I have three first-time-home-buyers and two more are looking. They make $35-$55K/year and those that are married or have domestic partners have their combined income unchanged since the spouse is a pregnant student and the domestic partner is unemployed.
YMMV

Talk about right timing – build your own hackintosh for under 200.[/quote]
It’s a bit easier with desktops since you can swap components at will. VAIO with G965 is a b*tch, took me too long.

Participant[quote=PlnrBoy]Sorry to jump in so late in this conversation but I think it is funny some of you would like to lower the pay until you get a certain number of people applying. That would be great so now you will only have the least qualified applicants working for your city and, dare I say, trying to protect and serve you. Do you want the lowest paid people doing that job? with guns? And then when whatever City cannot find qualified applicants they will offer a little bit more than the other city and skim the best people away from you (another reason benefits have gone up is to retain poeple). So I say yes to reform but no to hiring the low ballers for jobs. You know what THEY say??? You get what you pay for.[/quote]
The idea is to adjust the pay to get a sufficient number of QUALIFIED people.
Overpaying firefighters and clerks does not save you from loonies getting access to guns.
A number of posts on this thread are simply emotional or physical blackmail. If anything changes:
– your kids will burn in houses
– you and your family will be raped and killed by criminals
– you and your family will be raped and killed by underpaid cops
– you will choke on fish bone and die
– you will burn in hell for lack of respect for WWII heros
– you will lose job because the people who would spend a fraction of what you give them through your taxes buying your product won’t have money to do so.I’m convinced.
