Just realized what this reminds me of...

We should absolutely examine our political leaders lives - without question
But a 70 year old man who's worked his whole life buying a moderately priced 3rd property

should that be "Newsworthy"..?

Isn't the median home price around $300k? A house, regardless if it's a 2nd or 3rd home, that cost double that amount is hardly moderately priced. Again, you're failing to take into account the differences in real estate markets.

The median existing single-family home price in the Northeast rose 1.6%, to $273,600, in the 2nd quarter of 2016 compared with the 2nd quarter of 2015

Yeah, and considering the median income in Vermont is $52K, I don't think the average person who lives and works there year round is in the market for a $600,000 first home, let alone third.

Exactly. bernie is a 1%er through and through.

1) We aren't talking about the average person.
2) I'm just pointing out that Cleets' claim that a $600k house is moderately priced or not fancy isn't accurate. On Manhatten, it's probably the opposite. In the Charleston or Charlotte area, it can get you a nice house on the water or on 10 acres. That's all

The median price in Washington State is around $300K too
but I'd have to drive over two moutian ranges and 350 miles to FUCKING Spokane to find one

Does his wife work? Did she? Maybe he's like John Kerry with that Heinz ketchup money.

I'm not rich
and in March 2017 I will have 2 houses around that price range
and in a few years a 3rd isn't out of the question

I've never made much more than $150K a year
and many years I made far less than that

14 years ago I lost everything in a brutal divorce
and as an almost 40 year old adult (back then) was working 2 full time jobs in Boston
it took a long time to recover from that financial beating

So..
when I hear that some 70 year old man who's worked his entire life
is buying a third home for $600K and that makes him somehow a FAT CAT
I have to look hard at the motivation of that viewpoint

I've worked with 35 year old corporate leaders that had Yachts that cost more than that
and that's not even getting into their private Jet and their multitude of homes

I think we might be focusing on the wrong thing here...

You aren't running for President on the kind of platform Bernie was.

You can try to make it irrelevant all you want but the premise of this thread is just as SPOT ON as one about a family values Christian Republican getting pinched for soliciting underage prostitutes.


Edit: and before you or anyone else gets in a tizzy about it... I could care less what Bernie Sanders does. Or anybody else for that matter. Just don't go on a national stage and make open criticisms of society and then behave in the same manner two months later

My parents were able to retire relatively young on educator's salaries and afford a gorgeous second home on Puget Sound. They did this because they bought property at a very young age, were frugal, and invested well. And neither of them cared for financial sector shenanigans and monopolies very much. The horror!!!

In the case of Bernie, heaven forbid an American politician betrays his own class.

I was agreeing with you. So you can go ahead and pee in bandle's dog's butt.

and that's a no go, Maverick. The dog is a biter...and not the good kind.

No idea, but he is a Jew so obviously he is loaded.

Fairly certain bandle is a cat person.

His wife was the president of Burlington College. She resigned in 2011 amid a financial scandal. It's closed and defunct now.

I'm not reading this whole thread, I just have to say what I'm sure someone already said...

Typical liberal shrew who runs things into the ground on other people's money.

He's like a million years old. By law you have to have a home in Arizona, your home state, a camper, and a condo in Florida

Bernie Sanders Buys $600K Lakefront Summer House in Vermont



How ironical.

In what f*cking UNIVERSE does $600K qualify as a "fancy home"....................???



In the entire King Country area $600K is a bulldozer property
My Girlfriend and I are going to have to move 25 miles out to buy a $550K house
and it's 2,000 square feet



Fancy house for $600K (seriously are you kidding, because I hope you're kidding

Jesus H. Motherfucking Christ you're a drama queen. Go on Trulia, put in a price range of $400-$650k and look at all the "bulldozer properties" that come up in King County. Why must you dramatize everything?

Sounds like a good time to move.


I actually looked. Some nice looking houses and sone not so nice. I am sure it is the differences in location.
