Michelle <<OT>> re: Sweet deals.

Perhaps you resent these people for having "been there" in the right place at the right time. No one is asking you to pay more for something because of your age. Your age is entirely irrelevant. It is an interesting matter of circumstance but has no causal connection. The effect is equal across buyers, not an age group.

But, could it be that you or others working in the area have been the beneficiaries of one or more "sweet deals" in your lives? Deals not everyone got? Perhaps you had a lower-than-market-rate student loan? Those haven't been around forever. Did your father serve in the military so he was able to participate in a VA program?

You finally admitted that the tax situation in California is the root cause of the problem, but you are still blaming the original victims of an even worse situation.

Have you given some thought to WHY the prices have gone up so much? Could it be that the law of supply and demand is working against you? Are those people responsible for the lack of management foresight on the part of companies who decided Silly Valley was mecca and they just had to be there?

If the companies think it is that big a problem, let the free market control the situation. If they want workers where they want them, let them subsidize the housing or distribute their workforce elsewhere.

I'm not trying to be obstinate, but I have a problem with anyone who covets something someone else has.

Mr. K.
