- diordiderot 4y agoHow many hours did he work to buy the house. How many will a new teacher have to work.
- refurb 4y agoPretty much. Not realistic to assume someone comes to the US with nothing and then buy a home in say San Francisco. The American Dream is typically "come to the US with nothing and build a comfortable life, no matter who you are". I still think that's possible. Guaranteed? Of course not.
- nradov 4y agoA high percentage of homes in San Francisco are literally owned by first-generation immigrants. You can obviously see this just walking around and talking to people.
- iamdbtoo 4y agoWhy not downtown metros? Would you prefer to have a poorer group of people who can't live near where they work?
