I paid $56k for my in-town home 25 years ago. All the shoeboxes built and sold near me on my street now are selling for a half million (which ain't cheap for a 2000 sq. ft. House in Houston). When I open my garage and drive out a BMW 550 or a Boxster, the young guys living nearby must think, "Sheesh. Considering my mortgage payments, I'll never own cars that nice."

And then they get their live-in girlfriend or wife pregnant and that's the last nail in the coffin for a sports car for 20 years... And they will move to the burbs where the schools don't suck.

I guess the burbs are where the Jones' live.
