What I think is sad is that almost no born citizens can afford to live in the Bay Area of California. The neighborhood where we lived in San Jose is now ALL Asian. Where my husbands brother lived in Fremont is now ALL from India.

We were the first owners of this house in 1969 and bought it for $32,000. Sold it in 1979 for $132,000. Now it is over $2,000,000.

You wouldn't believe how they built this house. Green lumber 2x4 which warpped so they cut them in half pushed them straight then cleated them with a smaller piece of wood. Streatched what I call chicken wire on the outside. Then black tar paper and finished the outside with stucco. We paid extra to have R 1-rated Insulation put on before they sheetrocked. Lol That was all we could afford.

Our old house in Calif.

I loved living there.

It is a shame what has happened to CA.
