HORRIBLE,
That amount would get you a 20ksf mansion in Atlanta.

A small, mediocre two bedroom in Manhattan would cost the same as a 20,000 sf mansion in Atlanta. I'd take 1,000 sf in Manhattan or SF over a mansion in Atlanta, but I'd rather live in Atlanta than in Silicon Valley, which I don't find appealing.

Yeah, if you're not in tech, the weather is really the only selling point of Silicon Valley, IMO. And even then, you could live in L.A. for half the price and slightly better weather.

That figure includes the "vast areas of Harlem and Washington Heights" because those vast areas are a part of Manhattan.

And lots of people live in those vast areas.


Manhattan is not a city... and therefore its numbers are already gerrymandered out of the City of New York. We all know that Manhattan possesses the highest real estate prices, so it's unnecessary and senseless to further gerrymander the borough to exclude lower-income areas in order to fit your narrative.

Thanks for the laugh.

Lady, you're going to die from a heart attack or a stroke if you get your panties in such a bunch over insignificant stuff. Relax.

Seems like a bulk of people have to rent in California. Home ownership seems like a pipe dream.

California is turning more and more into a gated community. Are the wages keeping up? If they are spending (the average folk), say 50% of their income on housing, that really sucks.

The state really needs to up zone some of those single family home areas and build. Maybe be a little more lax on the building regulations and whole process to build a home or complex. State is failing to provide for a majority of folks. Too expensive. Fine for the high income earners.

I read something yesterday that LA wants to build 25k units for the homeless. How about they build those homes for the common man or woman.

Their priorities seem backwards there. IDK how the hell folks that make under 60k survive out there. Rich state on paper but it seems like a bulk of the people might actually be broke as hell, especially if they are subjected to renting forever and never owing a property.

That Ken doll of a Governor is failing the state and decades of failed policy have lead to this.
