re: #476 Gus 802
Again, true. But it’s a darn shame. My father was able to buy a house in West Islip, LI back in 1969. And this was just on his income as a copier technician for Dennison Mfg. He also had a company car and we all had Blue Cross coverage. That can never be repeated.
I hope you’re wrong there - I don’t see any reason why a large majority of the population shouldn’t be able to benefit from the country’s prosperity.
(I do accept that the super-cheap housing available through massive suburban expansion is probably not something we should repeat, though.)
