[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think HHI of approx. $200k is considered rich to many.  When you say, oh, it's not rich around here, that actually PROVES the point that if you aren't rich, you're screwed.

The problem is that too many people think that an HHI of $150k or $200k is normal.  It is not.  It is most definitely upper class.

Many educated people who work in the area do not make that kind of money, even with two-income families.  And yes, they're kind of screwed.  They're priced out of most of the market.

Hey, after reading some of these threads, even those of us with 200K HHI are priced out of this market, because we cannot afford new construction homes, we are encouraged to move into far away burbs or up-and coming areas.  We feel like we are screwed when we read so many hate-filled responses from well-to-do new home owners, about how we are trashing their neighborhoods with our 800-900K older homes.  I do not imagine where you would be advised to move with the income below 100K, the snobbery here in addition to tough RE market is staggering.  We used to feel like we were well off, but apparently, we are poverty stricken trash for this area's inner burbs. [/quote]

PG County.  And people on here trash PG County all of the time.  So if you feel like poverty-stricken trash, imagine how we feel.[/quote]
