Gotta get cash together to move in 2 weeks.
School district closed my 6 and 7 year olds school down and the district wants them to go to a school in the Ghetto. FORGET THAT SH*T!
...from Wikipedia:
"A ghetto is a section of a city occupied by a group who live there especially because of social, economic, or legal pressure. The term ghetto was originally used in Venice to describe the area where Jews were compelled to live. A ghetto is now described as an overcrowded urban area often associated with a specific ethnic or racial population."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto The schools are really close here, since we are in overcrowded urban area. Upper class, middle class, and lower class people are literally divided by a single street. There are pockets of class levels within the other class levels. You can be in the ULTRA rich neighborhoods and inside that in a 2 block radius, you have the ghetto. Each class usually wont even cross that street in to the other class levels area. It is amazing. I grew up in the East Coast and we had nothing like this.
What about a private school?
Way too expensive in northern California. It is over $15,000 a year. You gotta have some serious dough. I am just a regular guy with a regular job. I will however take my retirement and move back east so my money will go further. The cost of living is really high here in California.
A typical 3 bedroom house has 1 bathroom, a single car garage, 1,400 square feet on a zero lot line property costs about $630,000. Don't forget the mortgage companies want you to put down 20%. Anyone got $126,000 in the bank to put as a down payment on a house, which will take 30 years to pay off at $3,000 a month.
