ENTIRE block had a college degree. Most were blue collar....train/bus workers, mechanics, all that...and they ALLLL owned their houses. Bought them in the 70's and 80's for like the $130,000-$180,000 range. I know some who never made more than $35,000-$40,000 in their highest salary year, but they all got amazing retirement benefits.

Now, all of us who are their kids, who have degrees and much higher paying jobs, can't afford to live in that area at alllllllll, because it's way too expensive. It's not even like it's nicer or like it's developed and turned into Baldwin Hills!
