aren't those losers taxpayers, who make enough to actually pay taxes.

if i had a company, i would looking for a new state to move to. i would leave that hole as soon as i could.

calling Cali a hole leads me to believe you've never been there for any length of time.

hey, i've lived there for 2 years. i know how great that place is. i guess for some people would be worth getting the hell taxed out of them. i guess people will have plenty of time hanging out on the beach while they're unemployed.

No one is saying California is not a beautiful place to live...if one earns at very least a buck and a half a year... but the absurd gov't has made it so normal people can't afford it.

I would take Colorado over Cali any day. Lived in San D. for 18 months and Denver for 3 years. The only things Colorado don't have are the ocean and obscene taxes.

i've lived in San fransisco and san diego and i know those 2 places are amazing. i also have a buddy who lives and was born there. i guess if you're born in the tax system, you get used to paying all those taxes.

Noboby likes the tax systems, but incomes are outsized in CA to offset the burden of the gov't.

The incomes don't keep up with the real estate market, though - do they? I guess the market is so completely different that it is hard to compare...land alone....I've often thought about giving it a shot...but home ownership seems ridiculous (e.g., San Francisco)....

the RE debacle we're struggling through today is steeped in the imbalance between median house pricing and per capita incomes.

i have a buddy of mine who owns a house in san diego, it's about 1400 sqft house. it was appraised about 600k. about 2 years ago.

my buddy bought a 1800sqft house and paid 800k for it. it was just a townhome whose back yard is as big as a table.

but that stuff is immaterial in areas where per capita income is $250k and expectations are set at those levels.

Average rents is lower rent areas of NYC just dropped to $63 psf. That's an ungodly number for most of the world, but weak in NYC because traffic counts and exposure justifies it.

i agree it's all relative.

if you live in the valley you can easily find a nice 3 bedroom home with a decent sized back yard in a good area for about 400k. That same place in the westside would be at least 700k. So there are pockets are relative "affordability."

I just think it's nuts to have to validate your parking at a Wal Mart.

a friend of mine used to live in Sacramento, she would mention validating her parking at Wal Mart.
