I’m sure the lower prices for single family homes are in isolated, far away areas.

I’d like to see more housing built where there are jobs.

I know folks who worked at BIW who lived over by China Lake. They were resilient.

When I was in high school, my summer job was 14 miles distance but I had no way to get there except my bicycle. I did not spend my time whining about it. The next year I found a different job.

Right.

Few complained as heartily as the keyboard whiners of today.

Houses were cheaper relative to wages.

I lived in a cheap house, yes.
