Obey's House Comparison

Just in case you thought Obey's house was average:

According to this article, the national median home price is $217,900. The median home price in the Washington, DC area is $422,500. In Marathon County, it's $132,500 and in Douglas County it's $113,300.

So, conservatively, if Obey's Arlington, Virginia house sold for $950,000, how would that compare?

225% higher than the DC metro area median home price.
436% higher than the national average median home price.
717% higher than the Marathon County median home price.
838% higher than the Douglas County median home price.

I've read jeremy oswald's comments on the other post, I think this post puts to rest his theory that Obey's living in a modest little house if it's worth more than twice as much as the area average.

I've read jeremy's posts too. I don't think reason will work with him.

Dave Obey is just another in a long line of limo liberals who think that they can fool people into believing they speak for the common man. The old style, blue collar democrats are a thing of the past. The current dem party is a party of wealthy elitists who feel that they are better and more enlighted than everyone else. Look no further than Obey's Global Warming mailing, wich if taken seriously would mean shutting down many area businesses and losing area jobs. I'm sorry Dave, that doesn't work anymore, just ask Kennedy, Kerry, Gore, and the rest!
