For years we were told by outside experts that we had always had illegal immigration in SoCal so we were making a big deal out of nothing. They don’t preach that anymore. I wonder what changed.

Now we get told that we have always had the homeless and that we are exaggerating that problem.

And we are told that the astronomical price of SoCal real estate has no connection to the flood of foreign buyers that local realtors have been talking about for a decade.

If past is prologue our outside experts will magically cease making those claims in a few more years. Won’t do us a bit of good here, but that’s not new either.

You have, but not 100,000 illegals entering each month. It's a magnitude problem.

You have, but the magnitude is substantially worse now than it was decades ago.

And we are told that the astronomical price of SoCal real estate has no connection to the flood of foreign buyers that local realtors have been talking about for a decade.

You need to read more closely. No one is saying that foreign buyers don't affect real estate prices. All that's said is that high real estate prices in CA compared to average real estate prices in the US has always been higher.

If past is prologue our outside experts will magically cease making those claims in a few more years.

They weren't making the claims in the first place...see above.
