Jaguars to partially abandon that hellhole Jacksonville

My mom lived up in Anaheim Hills and Laguna Niguel with her husband, and they weren't rich by any standard. Definitely middle class and lived in good neighborhoods.

 

Anaheim Hills is quite the hike to LA. I was talking about living in LA, I was not talking about living 45 minutes from LA.

 

And I know plenty of people who live in LA who are not rich and have nice places. In fact, when I go out to visit them, I marvel at how much they get for the money they pay compared to places I've lived on the East Coast. Your statement was provably false. Just admit it and move on.

 

Oh yeah, bargains to be had everywhere...

 

I grew up in Santa Clarita.
The cost of living has tripled since then.

 

No one has argued that it's cheap. At the same time, you argued that if one's not super rich, they're fucked, which is absolutely not true.

 

The Redskins and Packers are well over 100,000 on their wait lists. The Broncos, Eagles, Bears, Patriots, Steelers and Titans also have huge waiting lists.

 

Torrance, Lakewood, El Segundo, Long Beach, Culver City, South Pasadena, Arcadia, Crescenta Valley, Glendale, Burbank, the Valley... I could go on an on, there are plenty of nice middle class places to live in LA area.

 

You should learn to read. I didn't say anyone was fucked. I said if you're not really rich you can't live anywhere decent. I have a friend who lives in Redondo in a 1600 square foot townhouse with no yard and no garage and he paid $850K and was lucky to get it. Granted, he bought it before the market crashed, but still, that's a shitload of money for a very small house. I know people playing $2700K for a 2-bedroom apartment near Culver City.

If you want to commute from Anaheim or Riverside, it's pretty affordable.

 

I wasn't aware "Redondo Beach" was "anywhere decent in LA." However, armed with this rock-solid insight, I can still post listings of 1,800 sq ft houses going for $700-800K in Redondo Beach. In other middle-class areas the rate would be in the $600s for that kind of house. Not fabulous but perfectly fine and, to anyone who isn't hopelessly attempting to defend his message-board assertion, it would qualify as "anywhere decent."

Also your friend bought at the height of the boom. I am guessing he would be very lucky to get $600K for that house right now.

I don't really even know what this threadjack is about, to be honest, but the statement was just so ridiculous. Just back away.

 

Lost in all of this is that we finally found a city where the Times-Union staff can finally meet their ridiculous first edition deadlines.

 

We can disagree.

Back to the Jags...
