The invisible people

Cory- Asians rip a huge hole in that all minorities are oppressed from the choir coming on the left. Yes, they are people of color and yes, many are immigrants, however, they have not shown that either fact has slowed them down and have actually prospered here under the American system. They realize that America is the home of opportunity, not of free handouts. They are very hard working and are centered around the family. Many of them have suffered under their own countries rule, and now in America, can't believe how great this country is and feel very fortunate to be here. Cory, Asians are not invisible though, I married one.

Corry - you are actually proving the point that CC made. The Asian increase in population on the Peninsula is directly correlated with their dedicated efforts to improve themselves. It takes hard work and resilience to make living on the Peninsula affordable. My children have managed to find an affordable home on the Peninsula without handouts. How, by attending public universities and by majoring in challenging subjects that turned out to be marketable. The original author lamented the fact that folks should be able live where they work. I for one, commuted from Belmont to Oakland for many years because I did want to live in Oakland. and I also did not insist on being provided an affordable home there. I suspect many of the commuters to the Peninsula live in areas that they prefer and put up with the daily grind as I did.

Hello, Cory

You wrote, "I support any reasonable effort to make the Peninsula affordable again." I agree... and a key component of that effort is that it should be reasonable.

thanks for the data. must have taken some research.
