Looks like some nice singletrack. I miss having singletrack close to home,

La Canada is definitely a chick. And isn't Canada a chick, too? Motherland
or vaterland?

But anyway as I researched my soon to be former home I came up with an
interesting tidibit of information. The median family income is around
$125,000 here while the median home price is around $1.5 million.

How does a family which brings home around at most $8400 a month after taxes
pay a mortgage plus taxes plus insurance of approximately $8300?

No. Ever heard a song called "a la canada" ? Just doesn't quite have the
same ring . . .

Even better, negative amortization loans. Love those creative financial
vehicles out there, nothing like getting further and further behind every
month.

Median is also not the same as mean, and says nothing of the shape of
the distribution of home values/incomes.

Five $100k homes and six $1.5M homes have the same median value as six
$1.5M homes and five $5M homes.
