And look, there's still affordable housing in the IE.

Here's a 1BR, 1BA under 1,000 sq. ft. vintage charmer on a 4,000 sq ft. lot in Crestline.

Only $139,000!!!

That's a 1,000 sq ft?

If so, does it have high speed cable internet connection?

I feel really bad for young couples. Say in 2003 they said, let's save 10% for a down payment on a home. We have 10,000 in the bank, and we need 10,000 more for 10%. One year later, they save $10,000, and the house is now $250,000 and they are $5,000 short. Then they say, ok, We now have $20,000 saved, we need $5,000 more, plus $10,000 more just in case. Let's eat ramen noodles every day. So they save, and now have $35k saved. Now the house is $400,000. They might want to jump off a bridge or something.

Or get a really bad loan that they can't really afford. It can't sustain itself like this forever. Does anybody really think that $1,000,000 for a place with a view from LA 60 miles away with binoculars with 1,200 sq feet is going to work in a few years?
