Some residents want SAHA to stay out of Stone Oak

[Richard Cranium]

100K dollars a year isn't that much...

Huh?? Damn, I didn't realize 100K was low income these days.

[01Snake]

Huh?? Damn, I didn't realize 100K was low income these days.

If that $100k is the total income of both parents working than no, thats not a lot of money.

[Buddy Holly]

Newport Beach in California has a MHI of $83,109.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't care how its earned 100k is a lot of money now it may not amount to much in disposible income with 8 kids but it is what it is. ing 100 dollars is a lot of money. I love how people just talk out there asses about money here. How ing unbelievably gay it is to say 100k isn't a lot of money.

I hate agreeing with this er but he's right.

[gameFACE]

One is an area of the city the other is a throughly masterplanned community.

That sounds like a brochure.................

The median househole income in Stone Oak is over 100,000 dollars. How is that not upper class?

Didn't say it wasn't upper class. It's just not the first thing that comes to mind. If I made $100K i'd prefer to buy a bungalow in Monte Vista and renovate it than a house with masonry on three sides out on 1604.

[PM5K]

Well 100K dollars probably is a lot of money, but I doubt the median income in the area I live in is that low, and I don't know that I'd consider 100K a year to be upper class..

What's above upper class?

Its definetly upper class. Only 2% of the people in this country make that much. I'm not sure what percentage of the households make that much, but I'm sure its not extremely high by any means.

[Buddy Holly]

Oh you. It's the truth.

Didn't say it wasn't upper class. It's just not the first thing that comes to mind.

Nice contradiction.

If I made $100K i'd prefer to buy a bungalow in Monte Vista and renovate it than a house with masonry on three sides out on 1604.

Than do so. Others would rather buy a home in Stone Oak.

You're one of those rich brats I tried to avoid my whole childhood because they always had a way of making the rest of us feel like dirt-poor s without even really trying...

[Buddy Holly]

What's above upper class?

The Dominion, Elm Creek, Olmos Park, Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Shavano Park.

Stone Oak is upper class any way you look at it - just because it isn't necessarily old money like some of Monte Vista doesn't mean it isn't upper class.

[gameFACE]

Oh you. It's the truth.

You can take the boy out of the Soufside but you can't take the Soufside out of the boy........

Than do so. Others would rather buy a home in Stone Oak.

I can't I only make $99K..................

[CosmicCowboy]

Yeah, 100K with wife and kids is probably not gonna get you into Stone Oak unless you lie on your mortgage application.

[gameFACE]

I already addressed that.

[CosmicCowboy]

back to the original topic...SAHA could take that same $50 million and buy a load of FEMA trailers after they finally clean up the Katrina mess...

[Ginofan]

I don't see how any of this could be sensible...finance-wise. You could obtain more units at a even a middle-class area of town for less than the 58 million they want to use to buy just 65 units in the "upper-class" (is that what we're calling it?) area of town.

Just what kind of geniuses are running SAHA?

[MannyIsGod]

Well, if they use the revenue generated from the other units and use it to subsidize other SAHA projects then it would make sense. If you spend more and make more, then it makes sense so just because they are spending a lot wouldn't necessarily mean it wasn't the right thing to do.

In the end, I don't know what makes sense and I don't care enough to research it.

[Jekka]

Just what kind of geniuses are running SAHA?

If they are anything comparable to the people running HUD then I'd say that they most certainly are not geniuses.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

If I was playing a detective I'd see who on SAHA owns a sizeable interest in those two apartment complexes. Sounds like someone is cashing their chips.

[SpursWoman]

And was that 64 people? Or 64 families? Because if it's families damn ... that's like 500 people right there.

[MannyIsGod]

I think it was 64 units. Some will be famlies, some not. But you know what poor people do for entertainment: They . So families can be huuuuuuuuuuge.

They.....just made their first mistake.

Kevin Wolff is on it as of today. He'll put a stop to this !!!!!

[01Snake]

There are absolute houses in some areas of Stone Oak. Don't act like all the houses are $300K and up. Same goes with all those other neighbohoods mentioned earlier with the exception of Dominion. However, there are definately waaay more cheap ass, just-add-water houses in Stone Oak than the likes of Elm Creelk, Shavano Park, etc.
