Looking forward to competing tomorrow in my first sprint tri! And I certainly hope most of the competitors are like Megan (and me). I certainly don't want to get kicked, scratched, or swam over.

This article was a little crazy.

62 units on an acre (I'm not philosophically opposed, but...)

If you make $200k a year, you can spend up to $1 million for a 2 bath condo that is 1000 to 1400 sf and comes with two parking spots. Or you can buy a smaller condo for only $800k.

But for $700k, you can buy a 2BR house in many SB neighborhoods, on 1/12 of an acre, about 1000 to 1200 sf. And two parking spots. Sometimes even a garage. You can buy an even bigger home in Goleta.

So...how is this "middle class housing" when you are paying more, but you get less? If the goal is just to create more housing, well then, okay. But shouldn't it be cheaper than a house if you are sharing an acre with 61 other condos?
