How To Not Write Like A Schmuck 101

[Jntg4]

To better specify the money coming in from the neighborhood, according to money.cnn.com, albeit 2008 (I trimmed some fat):

Downers Grove, IL
City Stats:
Population: 49,100
Median family income (per year) $98,025
Median home price $341,000
Average property taxes (2006) $5,283

I understand DG isn't full of glorious wealth and there are sections of it that aren't as well off. But, a couple of questions come to mind:

1) Granted there is a difference between median and average, but can a teacher at an average salary (75k) afford a median (341k) house in DG?

2) Should teachers be compensated enough to allow them to live within the communities they teach?

I know this is old, but I live in DG, my mom has no job, and my dad makes 75K, we have a family of 6 in the house, and a half-brother getting married now, and we have been just fine... able to keep a shark tank and several pets and we still manage.

Back in my day, I banged a lot of DGS and DGN girls.

Fun Fact: About a year ago lefty engaged in a twitter war with Tim Baffoe from the Score. Apparently Baffoe looked up that how lefty makes his living writing for a video game blog (or something to that effect), and around 30 followers of Baffoe let him have it for weeks.

Also I think Lefty and Dews went back and forth for about 3 weeks threatening to sue each other.

If memory serves, it was over an argument between libel and slander, that led to rape accusations.

My sources say it had to do with teaching salaries.
