SACRAMENTO (AP) - A new U.S. Census report on California's fastest-growing cities and towns draws a portrait of a vast inland migration as residents relentlessly search for a cheaper place to call home.
Whether to suburban Sacramento's Lincoln in the north or the Inland Empire's Beaumont and Murrieta in the south, thousands, statistics show, have taken eastbound highways to the hills and valleys of Central California.

It is ridiculous what housing prices are in L.A. I am getting out thank goodness. I could buy the 1,650 square foot house I am renting, but I am not willing to pony up $380,000 for it, which is the going price in my neighborhood. Down South, I could live in a huge house, with land for this price, and I don't even like it out here that much as it is. The California dream is over.
It's a system designed to enrich large developers and land speculators who have ALWAYS been big donors to the Democratic Party. It operates off the power of government to manipulate land value. I modeled how it works in the book.
When we sold our house in the Inland Empire, most of the people who toured it were two or more families looking to buy it together. They seemed stunned that my husband and I lived there by ourselves.
Many 2000+ square foot homes around my parents' house southwest of LA go for $600,000. My husband and I tried the Inland Empire, but even in a nicer area there I was carjacked in my own driveway and burglarized twice, all in one year. The hospitals were horribly crowded with illegals and I almost died of appendicities because the ER was filled with people who were using it as their primary doctor. The quality of life there was so low. That's why we moved to Indiana last month. We are getting a brand-new tricked-out 3500 square foot house on a pond, and with a walk-out basement, in pretty much the snobbiest area, for $50,000 less than we sold our house for in the Inland Empire. And the weather is nicer here, because no matter how much it rains and snows here, at least it's not 102 for five months out of the year.
