Progress toward prosperity would be for homes to become more affordable--not less.
Just like computers are today offering more power for less money.
That is prosperity--which is not what is happening in California.
Doesn't work that way. Not in Cal anyway.
Only so much prime land and nice areas available on the coastal plain of So Cal. That is why home prices continue to go up. There is no more room to build, that is why they are building in Riverside and San Berdo. And even out there they are expensive. Even out there, most of the land is not buildable due to restrictions. Again, supply and demand.
