Stone Harbor - I have been reading the debate over SH firemen intently. I did a little bit of internet research and found the average of lowest sale prices for single-family homes on the island since the first of the year; a little over $900,000. I did a little more research and the online calculators indicate that an annual income of a little under $200,000 is necessary to buy a house like that, with $50,000 down. Just how many people earning $200,000 want to be volunteer firemen, and spend a minimum of 160 hours in training just for basic training?
