“You couldnt pay me to live in CA.”
Good, we wouldn’t want you here at any price! Too many liberal idiots and Mexican illegals already. BTW, which would you be?
Well let’s see...his landlord is now going to have to pay his lawn care people $15 per hour and his sidewalk sweepers, and his touch up painters, and his cleanup people, and his handymen, and his 24 hour security staff....he is going to get his money from somewhere and it is from his renters....that’s how it works....everywhere.
Beat me to it.
For some, Sacramento is commuting distance.
It will actually hurt existing tenants by allowing minimum wage workers to bid rents up.
This is found in the Economics 101 book that no liberal has ever read.
One problem is that since our government deliberately understates inflation (to reduce SS payments while hiding the disastrous extent of the economy), few people can afford to retire anymore. Here in the northeast, as people are forced to sell their homes upon retirement, you lose the natural neighborhood balance and end up with a situation where every home has schoolchildren in it (a tremendous cost to the municipality). People without children avoid buying homes and retain the freedom to flee high taxes and rents; to compensate school taxes would have to rise to $20K per home (and that is impossible to collect with our current McJob economy).
Meanwhile, 100 miles away in the Sacramento area you can rent an entire house with a yard for half the median Bay Area rent.
It's that way in NYC as well. I live 70 miles from Manhattan as the crow flies and I have four acres of land and a 3,000 sq. ft. house. Getting the same on Manhattan would require more money than Donald Trump.
So I don't complain that much about the commute!
True that.
No it isn’t. Even by that definition Alameda is a suburb of Oakland
By your logic all of the Bay Area would be a suburb of San Jose
Keep trying.
Do you live in the Bay Area? If you do you show a lack of understanding
I wouldn't be either of those groups you mentioned. If I was, I'd already be living in CA.
#30 Alameda is whare the nukear wessels are.......
