    Quoting Ruth Hanschka to Michael Loo <=-

    the average house in Detroit is worth 60K

    Way up from the 2008 crash but still a very depressed market.

    RH That same house in Boston would be 300K, is my guess.

    More like 4 or 5, but who's counting.

    I have quick and easy access to housing stats throughout North
    America. The median price in Boston is $585,000.

    tack another 100 thou on the front in San Francisco.

    You underestimate: the median price is currently $1.3M.

    Your national average cost to build is $150 psf. The rest is land
    value which is based on location desirability more than actual
    development costs. In other words people prefer to live in San
    Francisco than Detroit for some reason, given a choice.

    Something else from there that's pretty rich ...

    Title: Crab Cioppino
    Categories: Crab, Clams, Mussels, Stews, American
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 Whole live crabs
    2 oz Olive oil
    3 Cloves crushed fresh garlic
    1 oz Crab butter (roe)
    1/4 ts Crushed red pepper
    3 oz White wine
    8 Prawns
    16 Manila clams
    16 Mussels
    6 oz Clam or fish broth
    2 Fresh crushed tomatoes;
    (seedless)
    1/4 oz Chopped fresh parsley
    Salt and pepper to taste
    4 ts Chopped fresh onions
    12 oz Tomato sauce

    Crack the crab leaving the legs and body together. Set aside. In a
    4-quart kettle or stock pot, heat the olive oil and saute the
    onions until clear. Add the garlic and simmer until light brown.
    Add crab butter and fry lightly. Next, add the wine to keep the
    butter and garlic from burning. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth,
    salt and pepper, then add the crab. Cover the kettle and steam in
    low heat for about 12 minutes. Add prawns, clams and mussels two
    minutes before serving. Serve in a bowl and sprinkle the cioppino
    with fresh parsley.

    the average house in Detroit is worth 60K

    Way up from the 2008 crash but still a very depressed market.

    Prices here in CT are coming back up but only a few towns are
    increasing.

    Ouch. I'm not surprised though.

    You underestimate: the median price is currently $1.3M.

    So Michael said. No wonder their homeless rates are sky high. Even
    folks with jobs can't afford to buy anything. Or even rent it.

    Your national average cost to build is $150 psf. The rest is land
    value which is based on location desirability more than actual
    development costs. In other words people prefer to live in San

    No snow?
