Do you know the reason? It's because huge areas of low-budget housing are now OFF LIMITS to whites because any white who lives in those areas will be attacked! Whole cities, BUILT BY WHITES decades ago, have been rendered "white-free" by the criminals. So among whites, there's a never-ending bidding war for housing in safer neighborhoods.
Housing would be a lot cheaper if we could live wherever we wanted. But anti-white violence prevents that.
You're right! Young California couples with kids don't want to move into gang-infested neighborhoods, but those neighborhoods are the only ones affordable unless they want a 50 mile ride to go to work. My grown sons are facing this dilemma currently.
Housing for illegal aliens is cheap, because many live in two bedroom apartments with wives or girlfriends, and their kids, with two or three families in one apartment. Try cleaning up that mess when they move in the middle of the night. There's no law enforcement here when it comes to illegal aliens.
According to realtors I know, the demand for housing in CA is being pushed from the bottom. This trend in housing is odd because the local economy (even with all this great illegal labor) has been sluggish for several years now. Given the banks new propensity towards no-down loans as well as their loosening of loan qualification stds leads one to believe that illegals, at least in large part, are driving home sales. This is keeping prices for everything above it propped up.
Its a pyramid scheme that can't go on forever.
Perhaps it prevents you, but that's you.
