Ok Hank, then everything is ok? Interesting that the cities you list are the most expensive to live in. Move my house and landscape down to the Bay area and I have a million dollar house. My Step son's house near Oakland is a piece of crap and he paid 600,000 for it. Up here it wouldn't fetch much over 100K.

Throw in that cost of housing; the higher gas prices; the cost of medical insurance; the cost to insure a car and I would say those people are not tripping off to the Riveria every year. People are losing ground and losing it fast.

Hank, I respect your opinions on this board; but come on, that is as weak an arguement as saying the poor shouldn't breed (well maybe not that weak)
