here's the data...

mwhodges.home.att.net

>>"Affordability has worsened over the past 20 years for families trying to purchase a home because incomes have not kept up with rising housing prices. In 1976, almost half of all families could afford to buy a median-priced new home; in 1996, just more than one-third of families have enough income to make purchase." (source: National Association of Home Builders)

NOTE: this decline was despite the drop in average fixed 30-year mortgage interest rates - from 8.9% in 1976 to 7.7% in 1996 - - and, despite the increase in working wives.<<

>>Too much trouble, not enough reward<<

i provided my data and so i'm qualified to leave "smoke blowers anonymous." have fun with the smoke therapy sessions as you are the one w/o data (something you claimed to be lame). so, is the view different now that you aren't on your soap box?

or are your rules for everyone else not good enough for you? ;-)
