Rich and Single


CNN Money recently posted a story online about the top places to live if you are rich and single. Hermosa Beach, CA is apparently the number one spot.



Here's what they had to say:

"1. Hermosa Beach, CA
Hermosa Beach, CA
Population: 19,414
Single: 47.2%
Median family income: $137,941
Beach babes ride the waves and bask in the sun nearly all year long in this Los Angeles paradise. You'll find sun-kissed singles roller-blading along the Strand bike path or surfing. Beach volleyball is Hermosa Beach's unofficial sport, so claim an open court, round up some nearby beachgoers and start a coed game. When you've had your fill of sun and sand, stop by one of the many bars near the Pier Plaza for an ice cold beer. "

I call bullshit! Where are the single people making $137k? I think they unfortunately added in the income of the super rich people who own mega-mansions on the Strand when they were doing their median income calculation. (It does say family income, too.) All the people that I know either make about the same amount as we do or less. They also make no mention of the fact that many of the people making this money are a-holes. Or maybe they're, like, 50 years old, living at the beach and they just can't let go.
