Why does it cost so much to live in CA?

I liked NorCal, but didn't like pot farms...but they were also illegal then. Sonoma is beautiful country, but overrun with libs and corkdorks...different era, yes, I'd be running cattle there. A million 2 for a 5 acre lot? Nope, not me. The farmland interior is nice, I like the open spaces. The problem is, can't get away from the tentacles of Sacramento:(
Sounds like you visited one spot. That really doesn't sound like the NorCal I know.

Water, soil, minerals, precious metals, etc. the bigger issue is pollution and toxic waste. We’ve done a lot to correct that, but it has created a headwind for business, thankfully.

Leave now,. before it's too late!!!

:eek:

This is an interesting article that does a pretty good job of spreading the blame.

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-california-housing-crisis/

California, the land of golden dreams, has become America’s worst housing nightmare...

What a Crock-O-Shit article --- OH sure blame the prop 13 long term property owners --- have YOU built a new home in CA in the past 10 years ?
When we re-built starting in 09' after our home burned in 07', it was a real reality check. We were rebuilding on our own property we'd owned since 1991.
Due to the fire the county was waving permit fees and since we already had water meters and were on existing septic, no connection fees, SDG&E waving theirs as well.
Just material and labor alone to replace the same size custom home as we'd purchased in 91' for under $ 250K was now pushing $ 800K.
I can't image what that would cost today.

Somewhere in my stuff, I have an old black and white of my Grandma posing in a swimsuit on the rocks near Malibu. It was dated New Years Day, 1941. I asked my Mom about it...Grandma and Grandpa sent copies to their family back in Kansas, it was their 1st year in California:p
