[QUOTE="Okey-Dokey, post: 2791603, member: 35845"] 80-85K in LA is nothing and will land you in a crappy apartment with low quality of life (but you can surf and ski in the same day ;-). We have friends making north of $200k per year who can't afford a house in LA that fits their expectations. In the nicer areas, $850K in LA will get you a fix-me-upper that needs a $50K renovation or you can buy a $550K home in an area where you'll occasionally be shot at. We were around $100K per year there and we were living in a crappy apartment with very little we could actually do because we spent everything on living. It's not just housing that's expensive there. Because of the artificially high cost of energy and taxes (for saving the children and the environment), everything you buy there costs more money. When I bought a 42" HDTV there we got tagged with a $50 state of CA fee for future recycling fees....or some hogwash like that. The insanity is mind boggling. [/QUOTE]
