There is no housing shortage! I own 6 myself. I see homes for sale every day! Republicans punish workers with low pay & drive prices with deficit spending so workers can't afford houses.

Nearly all building code regulations are from REPUBLICANS to keep undesirables out of their neighborhood.

Wrong, turd. The drip irrigation thing is a leftwing fetish. So are all the various landuse requirements. Dims own this.

Watching that show I am amazed at the real estate prices in some areas.
These people believe they are getting a deal buying a 50+ year old houses under 1500sq ft for 500k to a million.
That would buy you a 5000sq ft mansion where I live. With some acreage to boot.

Glad I live where my mortgage doesn't suffocate me.

The house in question sold for almost $500,000, and it was only 1600 sq ft.

Hey, $500,000 for 1600 sq ft, must have been an old show. That property should bring in somewhere near $650,000 unless it was a crap neighborhood or somewhere near Bakersfield/Fresno.

houses like that sold for 3-4 hundred thousand in Garden Grove when i lived in OC....and these things were built in the 50's and 60's....look at this one.....and this is a run down old area.....

It's also 20 minutes from the beach, and in the winter you have to deal with the frigid 60's.

I already own property in Coronado California and Avalon California why would I buy in Garden Grove?

you made it sound like this house could be a good deal because they are not that far from the beach.....and if you did not own property there and went to look at this house you would walk away saying...500 thousand for that?....in this neighborhood?....and then start laughing....

Thousands of bullshit regulations & you pick one & claim only left wing likes to have drinking water.

No doubt California is nice, the scenery and weather is great. Having the highest income taxes, highest state sales tax, highest gas tax, highest homeless population...not so great.

Highest income tax. Yes.
Highest sales tax is Tennessee.
Highest gas tax is Pennsylvania.
Highest homeless population is New York City.

As usual you're 25% right.

WTF, another dyslectic liberal.
Which State Has the Lowest Sales Tax in the U.S.?
Highest gas tax is Pennsylvania...oops.
New York City, well is a city not a state, for future reference you may want to look that up.
10 Most Homeless States in America

Did you mean to write "dyslexic?"

Highest sales tax is Tennessee. 9.75%

California has the third highest rate nationally with 34 in every 10,000 people in the state experiencing homelessness.

Two states are worse off: New York and Hawaii.

Has California’s homeless population ‘skyrocketed’?

Yup, I did, thanks.
So now you're 25% correct.

Admit your wrong and get on with it!

Yup, I was 25% wrong, which means you're 25% right...dumbass.

I just refered you to a site that shows housing is half the price that you pay in California. I watched an hour long video about the price of housing in Tokyo.

The bottom line is that California sucks, and it's all due to the leftwing government. The schools in California are the worst. They are ranked 49th in quality. The hospitals are no better than anywhere else. The weather has nothing to do with the government. The economy is good only because Silicon valley is located there. That's purely an historical accident that occured before the left took over the state.

You just stated your hate and no facts. When I was planning to move to the US it was known to most that one should move to a blue state or area...because of the opportunities, the universities and most importantly the people are open minded. It's a known fact that red areas generally are poor regressive and less accepting.

My wife was born in here in late 60s and she is practically the only one I know that was born here. Most caucasian Americans I met or I know migrated from mostly red states for better life.
In our area the average property tax is 30k a year now that's a salary. But keep in my mind people have a better life quality. We have a year pass to the best amusement parks that are only few minutes drive, we have ski resorts within a short drive and we have the beach within few feet. And my kids school celebrates the end of ramadan and diwali...and we never come across bigots...now tell me what red state or area that offer all of this ?

Where exactly do you live with 30k/yr property tax?

Santa monica...some neighbors pay 60k and more.

Sure, for a $5M property.

Want a shock? Look at property tax cost for a $5M property in Dallas, TX.

Oh red city ina red state has more property taxes than in an ultra blue city ?
So the trump sheep are just lying like their leader?

That's all they have, lying, deception, based on ignorance.
