This is an article about high housing prices in the San Francisco Bay Area and how Sacramento is the next up-and-coming place with cheaper prices. No surprise there.

But how does the Merc lead the story? With faggotry, of course. You'd think 9/10 of Americans were Mr. & Mr. and Mrs. & Mrs. by now if you go by MSM reporting.

The online edition doesn't show it in-your-face (it's in the video link). But this morning's print edition had to hit me with a photo of the couple just as I was sitting down to my breakfast.

For your enjoyment, the front page of our local paper and their high housing prices story lead-off:

At least they aren’t moving to Dallas/Fort Worth.

If they are trading temperate climate for triple digit weather why not move further out to Arizona and enjoy much better economics all the way around?

Ah, the once-nice Sacramento and local area.

Now? Sacramento truly IS the California dream; you know, high crime, boarded-up businesses, litter, lots of creepy peeps pushing who-knows-what in shopping carts, crime, alternative-to-alternative lifestyles, litter, and of course crime and litter.

(Guess where I lived a few years ago?)

In Sacto, it’s a short drive to the ocean, redwoods, the Sierras, Gold Rush country. Easy access to some of the great places in CA.

Unless you dream of living in Hell, there is no California dream in Sacramento low income housing.

I lived most of a year in Pinetop, Arizona. Probably the loveliest place I’ve ever lived. Tough winters and periodic forest fires rage through there, but it sure is beautiful. Unfortunately, lots of Phoenix money and big businesses rolled in and it isn’t as bucolic as it was in the mid 70s. But check out the White Mountains anyway.

Some use Sacramento as a bedroom community for the bay area, with at least a two hour commute. Not much of a dream, more like a nightmare.

Moving to a nicer part of California is like picking up a turd by the clean end or swimming in the end of the pool where the kid didnt piss.

I lived in Rancho Cordova (Sacramento suburb) 1989-1991 when I worked for EDS at Medi-Cal. We were close the end of the runway for Mather AFB. Used to watch F-16’s land.

Did not go into Sacramento very much. I have been to the train museum, Sutter’s Fort, and the state capitol several times.

Just did some research on Google Maps and found that the distance between Sacramento and San Francisco and between New Haven,CT and Grand Central Station in Manhattan are about the same.

Metro North,the commuter rail system of the NYC region, goes all the way out to New Haven where you can be damn sure that property prices are lower (probably by a factor of 10) than you'll find in cities/towns that are closer (Fairfield County,CT..Westchester County,NY...NYC).

They certainly wouldn't put a station in New Haven if there wasn't a strong demand for the service.

Heck, people who only need to go into NYC two or three times a week for work live out in Old Saybrook and take the Shore Line.

Isn't Old Saybrook east of New Haven...close to New London? That's a long commute.But I'm thinking in terms of five days a week rather than three.But then property prices might be noticeably lower there than around New Haven.

The only place that’s worse than Sacto at the moment is Stockton. Reason: More Mexicans!
