I agree with you. I'm hoping to finally buy a house myself one day in the not to distant future, but the prices around here (Northern NJ) are ridiculous. You too can live in a ghetto, or near ghetto for only 1/4 million dollars. I don't get it. Of course, around here, they say it is illegal/legal immigrants living with an overabundance of folks in a one or two family house. I guess that might be true in LA too. If we don't end immigration, at least have a moratorium we are really doomed in this country.

Thanks for your reply. I was born in East Orange and raised in Jersey City and Union City. Moved out here in 1976, and have never been back east since then. But I enjoy hearing about what's happening in my native state. The illegals here are mostly Mexican. What ethnicity are they in your area?
