ajtj99's Market Pulse

When I grew up in Franklin Lakes, NJ in the 60's it was a community developed from 600 acres donated to the Catholic Church who handed to an Catholic developer who hired a Catholic real estate agency so you ended up with a a mostly Catholic community after the homes were sold.

We are talking about mostly large Catholic families with some having 10-11 children. Grandparents and aunts living in the same house were common.

Anyone who built a 3,000+sq ft house in the 60's had at least 6 kids.

I see these 4000 sq ft houses today with 1-2 kids and say whats going on. Maybe I am feeling out of tune with the 30 something crowd.
