my parents moved outta vallejo in the mid 70s and bought a house in fairfield for 25k :manny:

keep in mind that show started in the 80s and they was already married for like 10 years

The house was an eye sore for the neighborhood. It was a situation where it was an old piece of shyt and people built around it. That's why you have the poor family living in the same neighborhood as people doing well.

Al's salary covered their bills but they were always dead broke because of Peggy spending and the kids eating up whatever was left.

It's to show you that if you get married in this day and age you LOST.

That house wasn't that nice, he clearly lived in a lower-middle class area or a busted house in a nice neighborhood. Yes, in the 80's that house would've went for 60-65k tops, but in those days, if you had a steady job and you saved your money, you could get into some sort of house, even with average credit. Also, Al didn't seem to spend his money overly recklessly. If Peggy and the Kelly weren't so f*cking high-maintenance, they probably live better.
