Business Week has published an article titled, "The 25 Best Affordable Suburbs in the U.S.". What I found interesting about the article was not the article itself, but the 600+ comments written about the article. Scroll through the comments. The process will be very educational regarding the perceptions of people and the state of the economy, the job market, and of course the housing market. A lot of very interesting points are raised in the comments. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily...20061116_063534.htm?chan=rss_topStories_ssi_5
Nice anecdotal snapshot. Id love to read their comments if they saw the listing for Marty Zweig's New York apartment. http://www.curbed.com/archives/2004/12/17/peeking_in_on_the_pierres_70_million_penthouse.php If you're fortunate enough to have "made it" and be living in an expensive city, and enveloped with a like circle of friends and acquaintances, it's easy to forget about all those "other" middle Americans. This could change though as the Dems are aiming to close the wealth-gap.... lol.
