Even with the monetary conversions I'm pretty sure BMWs differ in price depending whether you are in the UK or the US. Aren't BMWs more afforable in the UK...or am I way off base here?
Back on topic...the reason most people at ERAC live in apts. is also because a lot of them are single, and it's not easy to buy a house with one income, even if you are doing "half-decent" in ERAC terms ($40-50K). I owned a house when I was an MA...but I had my fiancee's help. So together we were making about $65K and could make it work. So I'm going to alter the reasons for not being able to buy a house.
1-low pay
2-work life is not conducive to relationships, so many are single
3-If they were financially smart enough to buy a house, they'd be smart enough to quit ERAC.
Sorry, that last one was a low blow.
