No no, I am talking about home in basically a desert environment in CA. Millions of 2-story homes in a hot desert environment, where it can stay into the 90s at night. It a no bueno. They built millions of these cheap homes built with illegal labor and foreign contractors. Not a square corner in them.
To pay for the AC and heat in one of those homes takes big dollars, two incomes, secure jobs etc. In fact I had a friend out there living in a single story home and he was paying $325 per month just for an electric bill. That’s it. They lost the home after just 4 years.
They got suckered bad.
The Inland Empire. For a time, I commuted through
it from Rialto to Orange. It was two hours each way and basically drove my Jeep Cherokee into the ground.
I’m blessed to have a large house It is the only tax write off available to me On holidays and anytime the family wants to get together I can comfortably put up my parents my married children and grandchildren I can afford the heating and AC bills I like my large house and dare anyone to tell me I don’t need it, that I shouldn’t have it or the like. It sits in a neighborhood of similar houses on 1 1/2 acres and is not an eyesore. Not that it’s anyone’s business
