My town has a higher % of elderly people, pushing down the per capita income compared to Deephaven. Also, we built a big low-income housing project a few years back. Interestingly...the population density of Norwell is 1/4 the population density of Deephaven...probably because of the proximity to a major city of Deephaven. Not that it really matters, the two communities are still very similar.
To go back to the point about seperation between classes. I definitely think it happens. There are communities of mostly rich people and communities of mostly poor people...and never the two shall meet. That being said, my sister's boyfriend lives in one of the largest houses in town. He's on the cul de sac of a street called "Judge's Hill". His dad owns EastWest Mortgages or something like that. They would fit into the "Capitalist" social class. On the other hand, my best friend growing up was on welfare. So what does that tell you?
Well, nothing other than that my sister is a little gold digger.
If the rich people in my town were white and the poorer people were non-white...there would probably be more of a social division. Racial homogeny can make up for socio-economic homogeny.

Wow, Tyler, thats amazing. They are alike in almost every aspect. Awesome (or not). 
There (seem) to be a bunch of old people in Deephaven too, as it was once a "resort town" by Lake Minnetonka for old people.
In every single on of my classes at school, I am baisically the only non-white person there.

I actually like where I live. It rains too much, but I don't walk around in the rain very much so it doesn't really effect me too badly.
Unfortunately, the town is hopelessly car-dependent. My town is right next to a major highway and the vast majority of the workforce has to commute to work. Ironically, most of the people employed inside the town can't afford to live here so they commute from the very same places that our town's workers commute to!
...
If that makes any sense.

I would assume that housing this far from a major city (Boston, 20 miles) would decrease in value post peak. But even if gas was $10 a gallon, everyone would still drive to work, alone, in their SUV.
Hopeless suburbanites...argh.

Deephaven is like 28 miles away from Minneapolis, haha. Most people in Deephaven work in either downtown Minnepaolis or one of the suburbs around the twin cities. (well obviously I guess)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('fossilnut2', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('lotrfan55345', 'H')OW does a household survive on $45k a month?
I think our household eats up like $50k just in monthly bills... (like utilities, mortgage, etc)
I think our household eats up like $50k just in monthly bills... (like utilities, mortgage, etc)
We work about 6 months (average)out of the year and have combined incomes around 180 thousand Cdn. Let's call it 150 thousand American. We have no mortgages or debts and get by on about 19 thousand USA a year. That pays for food, utillites, property taxes, etc. About once a decade we buy a vehicle with no bells and whistles.
Let me out-cheap you. We kept our '85 Camry (with no bells and whistles except for the standard equipment power rear-view mirrors) for 18 years. We bought it because we were expecting a baby and needed a larger vehicle than our '78 Civic. He drove it for 3 years.
We paid CDN$45,000 for our house 10 years ago. Our income is almost as high as yours, but we're retired so our expenses are lower.
From what you say, you don't have kids so you don't budget for music le$$ons and in$trument$ and $ki-racing clubs with new $ki$ every year or two.
