Important stuff. We need to retake California.
Soon California will be populated by nothing but unemployed Mexicans.
The entire left coast should be put under martial law.
Keep em' out of Phoenix. Our housing costs are skyrocketing.
My husband and I live in Pasadena. We went to an open house a couple of doors down from us. The house was less than 1600 sq feet and they wanted $740,000!! The master bedroom didn't even have a closet!!! Unbelieveable. My husband says that mortgage payments would be $7000-$9000 a month including taxes. That's just nuts! I mean, if it was a mansion, it would be worth it...but a dinky tuna can?
Same with Boise! Idaho is full, turn around!
Does that mean libs from the blue state are going to turn red into blue with their migration.
$740K would buy you over 10,000 square feet here in Boise.
Hardly the case, all you have to look at are the median home prices in California, particularly in the metropolitain areas. Many native Californians decided to take the money and run when they saw the equity in their homes rise hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past few years. Unemployed mexicans can hardly afford $500,000.00+ homes. There are several factors involved here, but the exodus the article cites is merely attrition in the most populous state in the union.
California = Liberalism run-amuck
Same here in Reno, Nevada, which we moved to from California just a little over a year ago. Tell everyone in California that Reno really sucks and if they're smart they'll stay away from here. We hear its really nice up in Montana...
I was in/near Reno this summer hiking. Actually, it was South Tahoe.
Tell me about the Sandpoint area. It looks beautiful.
Hey man, don't rub it in! HA...
I agree completely.
Furthermore, here in the Sacramento region, housing prices have risen dramatically in the last few years as people move from the LA or SF areas and come here buying for cash or with huge down payments.
My only concern is a crash, ala 1990 but I feel if it comes, it will be those two large population centers that will take the biggest hit.
Wishful thinking on my part perhaps.
Cheers,

I don't really know much, haven't been there yet. I'm new to Idaho, 18 months, and haven't made it up yet. It's about 8 hours from here. There is a bike trail which runs from Montana to Oregon I want to ride up there.
washington state doesnt want any more liberals as well. Stay out unless you are not a democrat
I had a friend who moved to the Santa Cruz area back then and bought a house for $450K only to have it worth $350 within a few months.
