I really should have stuck this in an infovore post but I’m so behind on that. {via}
That’s just depressing. San Diego’s median housing value is $516,000 and 14% of individuals are below poverty level.
Thanks for posting this Kathleen. We are leaving Crappyville in 3 yrs and moving up north. We have been trying to figure out where we want to live this is so helpful.
Not to be nosy, but where is Crappyville? (You can just mention the state only – I don’t want you to worry about your personal info on the ‘net.)
I also am exploring new places to live and I don’t think I want to live where other people are fleeing (if they have a good reason).
I live in the NY metro area, FYI.
I live at the very top of Florida 15 min from Alabama state line. I mys well be in LA (lower Alabama) They call this area the redneck riviera
and it is. I can’t name all the reasons why I dont want to live here. My hands would get too tired from typing.
Thanks for the info. I considered parts of FL, but not this area. I am sorry you have to wait 3 years before you can leave. What a bummer!
The good news is that you have time to investigate and you won’t have to rush to make a decision. You can CHOOSE your new home based on what’s important to you. It sounds like many other places will be a better fit, so just about anywhere you choose will be an improvement. I hope that you find what you are looking for in your next home.
Funny, one woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure. That spot has sugar sand beaches and has become way too expensive for us.
I’ve been going there once a year for over 25 years until recently, when the all the highrise condos and fancy snowbird communities forced us rednecks out. lol. Once a year we used to get to burn the rest of our bodies to match. We like to refer to it as the Kmart Riviera. Want to trade houses? lol.
