I discussed this list with a friend, who is a very successful realtor in this area.
She has realtor friends in these so called high desireable west coast cities. She said that the enviros own the cities and have severe restrictions on new homes and often on major retros on existing homes.
So the market is limited re number of liveable units with these restrictions. That drives up the cost of homes. Then when these left wing surveys come out spreading the gospel of Edens in these cities, that increases the demand even more. Which increases the cost of the existing homes.
One good thing about this is that the liberals often live together in the cities. They can raise their own taxes, promote diversity...
The problem is when they leave and bring their stupid ideas that did not work in their cities into our communities. We then get out voted for their programs spending our money.
