I didnt read this whole thread just the first two pages. All I can say is that there's a whole lot of dumb in here. I've lived in Newport Beach for the last 10 years and if you look at the median income, avg. home price, etc. there's no denying that it's one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in OC. I dont know anyone struggling to make ends meet in Newport or living beyond their means. Perhaps you're confusing NB with Costa Mexico?

To me the area is just your normal middle-class suburban area of California, but recently its been caste as some sort of upper-class area.
Anybody else get a laugh about this stuff?

Rich Wannabe people is all they are. The true wealth is in those historic towns on the east coast. |

You would have also been very rich 30 years ago when average house prices were $55k and average pay was $17k.
Not all states have prop 13 but California does. |
