[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in New England for 45 years. For starters, the vast majority of people don't own second houses. Of those that do, there are hardly any in Cape Cod, I mean there are second homes all over the place Cape cod's not that big. Thirdly, many people never go to the cave because of the traffic and it's cold and it sucks.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? Growing up, everyone I knew had second homes on the Cape, no matter what their profession - which later struck me - my friends’ with (2) teacher parents have this beach place?!  We had senior skip days there!

I don’t know where you are from, but you need better friends. [/quote]

In what century could 2 teachers afford a house on the Cape? Did they take a horse and buggy out there?[/quote]

Not that long ago.  Depends on one's priorities, I suppose. [/quote]
This was my experience as well a couple decades ago. Small primary residences to afford small Cape second homes. [/quote]

Yup there are a lot of modest homes on the Cape.  if they are not in the fancier towns and not right on the water, they are not necessarily crazy expensive.  Also one generation ago, homes in the Boston area were cheaper.  My parents had a nice three bedroom home in Newton that they bought with no help from their parents and a combined salary of what would now be about $130K.  I doubt people could do that today.[/quote]

You doubt it???? Boston prices have eclipsed DC prices. Chain link fences abound for close to a million![/quote]
