[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure if you can afford a 1.5 mil house you can afford $200 for the auction.  Also, you don't have to go.[/quote]

Are you saying al of the families at Janet live in 1.5 mil houses or is that the average? It’s it’s the average, shouldn’t you care about those below the average? This is sad.[/quote]

Pretty much.  Its about 98% in 1.2 and above.   Many now in 1.5+.[/quote]

Where did you pull that stat? There are many families that bought &gt;10 years ago. There are also renters that are already stretched with their housing and can’t swing $200 to go to a school event. The snobbishness of Janney stinks.[/quote]

Oh cry me a river.  Stretched thin in a million dollar house???  I'm in bounds for Murch and live paycheck to paycheck as a single parent just so my son can go to a decent school. I rent a very old 2 bedroom apartment.  There is no way I will ever own in that neighborhood.   Anyone who can afford a house zoned for Janney isn't struggling (or at least shouldn't be).  Get real.[/quote]

Maybe you didn’t fully read my post. I clearly said stretched to rent. I have a friend that is a single mom paying $3000 to rent a shack in Janney. She is not wealthy by any means. Doesn’t earn 6 figures. If her ex missed one month of child support, she wouldn’t be able to pay her rent. She is house poor so she can send her kids to Janney. $100 auction ticket is a slap in her face.[/quote]

I am a single mom too, but I learned a long time ago to live within my means.  Anyone who pays $3000 in rent should not be doing so at a stretch.  [/quote]
