So it's the illegals fault, not inflation? I have to disagree. My home, built in the 30's, has increased by the same margin you mention and there are no illegals working in my area.

No --- my point was that illegals have nothing to do with the price of houses. They don't keep the prices low --- or homes in California should be the cheapest. A worker being paid $20 an hour might build a $100,000 home with 2000 sq ft, a worker being paid $5 an hour might build a $400,000 home with 2000 sq ft.
