Housing prices and income aren't quite the same thing. One reflects how expensive it is, rather than how rich it is.

Bev Hills is both very expensive and very rich. Price is obviously a better barometer of relative desirability than mean or (especially) median income, both of which are more reflective of housing typology.

It is, but that wasn't what the conversation was about; it was just income ("how rich").

By the way the reason I chose Beverly over other places in in LA was I saw this beautiful house that we could manage to afford. I haven't found anything to great with ues

Thank you for responding. What price range are you looking at?

And if you are looking for a "house", then I'd go with Beverly Hills all the way.

I don't know what these people are on about though. If you're serious, you should really post in the LA and NYC local forums, not here.

Generally, a 2000 square foot condominium in the UES has a price tag of around $5 million.

I believe the property taxes will be an additional $5000 a month or so.

Yeah, all anyone really needs to do is rent Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" for the answer.

Woody, as Alvy: (paraphrasing), "Why would anyone want to live in L.A. where the only cultural advantage is you can turn right on a red light?"

LA has more culture than all of pnw combined, funny this coming from someone who lives in the middle of nowhere.
