22. i know...but the whole pricing issue in the US
is out of control in HOT CITIES. There are MANY places where the prices are not too bad (as you mention) but everyone talking about how they cannot afford a home, well, depends on where. We have a single income (wife is stay at home with the rugrats) and can still afford a nice home...just not in downtown ATL (where condos are regularly going for as much or MUCH more than our home). The speculators are driving up prices leading to crashes in small sectors of the country...of course, you can watch them crash and burn on some of the "flipping" shows that appear on A&E, TLC and the like.
