Forbes ^ | October 24, 2018 | Andrew DiPietro

It’s becoming obvious, if it wasn’t already, that California real estate is uniquely expensive compared to the rest of the country. According to Zillow’s September index, the median price for a single-family home in the state — $549,000 — is high, but house prices are even higher in its four biggest cities:

Los Angeles: $898,949

San Diego: $848,500

San Jose: $1,099,990

San Francisco: $1,400,000

In the majority of major American cities, you’d pay less for a house. And in many, you could buy several houses for the cost of a single home in a California city.

Cost Of A Home In California vs. Texas

Texas is a state that’s booming in terms of population and business. Increasingly, more and more Americans are migrating to the Lone Star State, lured by jobs and affordable housing.

Your ignorance is showing.

Average annual rainfall:
Lubbock 19.18 inches.
Del Rio 19.52 inches
El Paso 9.69 inches

Compare with Malibu, California - 21.05 inches.

And besides the far cheaper house, you don’t have to worry about stepping into Pelosistuff when you walk outside.

Or worry about meeting congresscritter-acting slime camping outside your house.
