Tht was my thought too. It’s so expensive that only the poor can afford to live there (tapayer subsidized housing).
AND, once she gets to Central Arizona, she will vote for the same idiots who drove up the prices in OC by excessive regulation and taxation.
And then complain that Arizona is getting too expensive to live in.
Just like the idiots in Bisbee do.
Same as NYC; people who contribute nothing demand “affordability”. These prices drive out taxpayers and employers, leaving fiscal “black holes”.
one would thing with the internet economy booming, more things delivered, there would be more and more space available all the time. Too many people?
So it’s so crowded and expensive nobody goes there anymore? Good thing the federal government has an unlimited supply of money it can print to keep these people in their lifestyle.
People are willing to put up with higher taxes, bad traffic, liberal (i.e. stupid) laws, lawlessness, and lots of other crap in order to live here.
Thus 10% of the votes in the House and 10% of the electoral college will forever be in the hands of liberal democrats.
The only hope for the rest of you is a massive earthquake that displaces enough Californians to significantly decrease our political power over the rest of the states.
And hopefully we wont all move to your state or you will suffer the same fate as Colorado.
There are a lot of companies in my industry in Orange County, CA. I’d likely do well there. However, from what I can see, while compensation is considerably higher the cost of living is even higher still, so it doesn’t make economic sense. You’d be scrimping to an extent to live there on 100K a year. Forget buying a house, you’d be renting and not a really nice rental at that. It’s a very pretty place, at least within view of the Pacific it is. A lot of people want to live there, there are jobs to be had. But the expense is bizarre.
Odd. That sounds like a pretty average rent.
