<VV> Re: was vette arises- now inflation (no corvair)

[Ray Rodriguez]

     I sure wish a new house only cost double the average annual salary 
nowadays!  Cars might still be about a year salary, but in my area (in the 
boonies of Pennsylvania) the cheapest new house you can get is around 
$175,000... average salary around here is low.. probably $30,000 to $35,000. 
Cheapest livable resale house is around $100,000 and thats not at all easy 
to find in any but the worst neighborhoods. (I'm a Realtor.. I know!)

     Between the cost of housing and the cost of gas its not easy for a 
young person to get on their feet these days.  I could only imagine what it 
would be like if I owed 50 to 100K for college like so many do....

     Guess I'll just go back to tinkering with my Vair till the economy 
explodes.
