Bay Area housing market skyrocketsYou live in a shack shared with four other people. Yet, your rent is astronomical.
In 2015, the median sale price for houses in the Bay Area was $1.1 million. According to the California Realtors Association Housing Affordability Index, only 20 percent of residents living in the Bay Area can afford to pay that much for a home. Belmont Mayor Charles Stone said, “[Today,] you cannot buy a family home without putting $200,000 to $400,000 down as a down payment and signing up for an insanely high mortgage. Even renting has become a challenge with apartment rents in the 3,000 to 4,000 price range. In short, Belmont is quickly becoming a place where only the very wealthy can afford to buy or rent a home.” |
Procrastination holds people backTomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. It’s easy to push something off, saying that you’ll do it later, in favor of something more fun or interesting. But then things don’t get done. Assignments and projects are left incomplete. Deadlines creep up. Then, you pull an allnighter to make up for all the time you spend surfing the web and playing video games. |
