ParticipantTract homes don’t cost anywhere near $100 sq/ft to build. Nice tract homes can easily be built for under $60 a sq/ft and basic tract homes for just over $40.

ParticipantI paid 2.5x my income for my current home (at the time I was probably making less than median). It was not that long ago and it’s in CA. California has not moved, it’s not in a better location of the planet than it was 10 years ago. If anything it’s worse than it was 10 years ago so property values should have declined. Of course it’s going to cost more in CA than in Kansas. But then again the median income is higher here too. People have gotten brainwashed into thinking $500k is a good deal for a starter home. BS, snap out of it, for $500k you should be able to buy a very nice home in a very nice area or a friggin estate in the IE.

ParticipantUndervalued in 2000? If we believe the GS report with a median of $375k that would make the median home 7x the median income. I’m not sure how they as so called economists can make the assumption that this is fiscally a good thing. It seems to me that median homes should be 3x the median income or in line with rents.

Participant$375k is still too high. The CA median price in 2000 was $211k add 3% or 4% per year for “normal” appreciation and you’re well short of $375. If you use 3% it’s around $260k and 4% is around $280k. In 2001 the median was 240K and at 3% that’s still only $290k. The state median should be in the mid to high 200s!

ParticipantYou can’t believe anything a “survey” says. They can spin the numbers to make them say anything. Similar to this old joke.
“A DAY OFF”
So you want a day off, let’s take a look at
what you are asking for.There are 365 days per year available
for work. There are 52 weeks per year in
which you already have two days off per
week, leaving 261 day availiable for work.
Since you spend 16 hours each day away
from work, you have used up 170 days,
leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30
minutes each day on coffee break that
accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only
68 days available. with a one hour lunch
period each day, you have used up another
46 days, leaving only 22 days available for
work. You normally spend 2 days per year
on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days
available for work. We are off for 5 holidays
per year, so your available working time is
down to 15 days. We generously give you 14
days vacation per year which leaves only 1
day available for work, and I’ll be damned if
you’re going to take that day off!!!I’m a millionaire, I have a $1,000,000 bill pinned to my cubicle wall. I just need to find a store that can make change.
