[A CA Guy]

California has the best Real Estate in this country. It is the ONLY reason we have not been done for by now. Everybody seems to want to move here.

I can go to the mountains, seashore and beach all in one day. We are getting over populated and they keep building dwellings despite the fact there isn't enough natural resources to support us all. We don't have the water or energy. My house is valued around $325,000 and shouldn't be going for more than $190,000. It's nuts.

Whenever I get infuriated about the state of politics, taxes, illegal immigration, budget woes etc in North Carolina I always compare it to California. If the fork is stuck in CA than we're next in line for the honors.

When I look back on what this area looked like thirty years ago, I can't even recognize the place. I can't believe that this realestate market can hold out forever. But then I've been thinking that for some time. You can't continue to run people off who make the big bucks, then replace them with fourth to sixth grade educated people with no skills. Sooner or later the markets got to go south.

You must really be paying some hefty property taxes!!

On an $85,000 valued little patio home in AZ, the tax is $740 per year and rising.

In the past fifteen years, we have had a flood of white Californians, as well as some Latinos. But mostly white. Apartment rents went out of sight, so many of us bought homes.

Just heard on the radio several times this AM that Arizona is now considered the WORST state to live, according to some poll by I think United Way!!!
