Randy,
It was nice to see you at the council meeting last night.
I looked on John L Scott and only saw $350-450K fixer-upers and >$675K homes. I know its the market price but come on.
I got out of the Marines partly to own my one home. Renton use to be an affordable place to live. I don’t understand where people come up with $600K for a home. Thats $3,600 a month just for the mortgage. Add taxes, insurance and utilities and they pay $4,000 a month just for housing. I couldn’t have payed that was in the Marines getting deployment and hazardous duty pay. Not all of them are Microsoft millionaires, Dr’s, lawyers and CEOs.
