I can not match that, but when we moved to the big city, about 2 years later my parents bought a house for $9,000...

Lived in that house and considered it nice until we, my sister and I grew up..

Amazing how much everything, not just housing, has gone up in our life times..

I think they would handle it easily.. the local law dealing with a single person, not the millions all at once..

But I think the red f**g laws are much to apt and will be misused.. need to be very careful on how these laws are used and enforced..

they are not such a good idea..

Under a red f**g law, eventually, no one would be sane enough to own a gun. That's the purpose of the red f**g law. You own a gun? You are crazy and not fit to own a gun.

Amazing isn't it. I think our house payment was like $270.00 a month, we had $500.00 down, still cheaper than rent. Lived there until we started a family and moved to be closer to work. By that time a car cost about as much or a little more. I was telling my granddaughter how in high school we used to walk the 2 blocks to the local McDonald's and get 10 cent hamburgers, or 25 cents for the meal, (fries and a drink,) she was stunned, not only about the prices but being able to leave campus for lunch.

In 63, my family bought a 3 BR, 1Bath full basement and 1 1/2 acres for about $12,000

yep. You must be a bit younger than me. I remember they instituted open campus and no dress code in 1970. I graduated in 1969. It peeved me at the time

500 is not big, many bikes are over 1300 today.
In 1969 I bought a new El Camino, like a pick-up, cost $2700.00, power everything. It was built much better than cars today, which now cost 16 times more and are mostly plastic. So here one can see what has happened to our dollar.

And we wonder why people can't save. Since 1969 everything has gone up anywhere from 50 to 1000x the cost. Wages have gone up about 10 to 20x. Pretty simple math.....

MR Mister Loc: Washington DC

Yes indeed, simple math to those that can add an subtract.

I graduate in 1970. Will be 68 in a couple of months. And of course it depends what state and city you're in. Thankfully school systems are at least somewhat under local control, though the left has eaten away at that considerably, with the revisionist history, anti-American curriculum and social tinkering that has debased, degraded and corrupted our culture by targeting our children with their propaganda. Conservative Americans greatly miscalculated the left. They wrongly assumed no American who benefited from the individual liberties and freedom of speech, as well as the other guarantees in the Constitution would knowingly try to undermine those benefits. What is glaringly clear is the left, (the Democrat/socialist Party, academia, Hollywood and the laughably called mainstream media,) will say and do any and everything to "fundamentally t***sform" this country into another socialist nightmare. The left always excuses the failure, (every time it's tried,) of socialism by claiming "the right people weren't in charge". They arrogantly believe THEY are the "right" people. The utter contempt they have for anyone who isn't interested in being controlled by Godless l*****ts who think they are better than everyone else is staggering.

Well said, Rick, and AGREED

The kommiecrats have said that the only country with enough money for socialism is America.
Did the kommiecrats ever consider that that's why America has the money? That America is not a socialist country?

debeda

Of course not. They're not that smart

Mikeyavelli

But some Americans are that lazy and some politicians are that greedy as to usurp America's wealth so that the government takes it all and gives some to whomever they choose.
