Why housing is so expensive in California

It's the location. If you want to talk about high cost of housing why don't you look in your own country. Canada is ridiculous price, especially in a land where you freeze your ass off 10 months out of the year.
Yes, it is the location. It's where state and local governments have imposed a lot of idiotic regulations that drive up the price of housing. The same thing is true for Canada.

We have the same building codes in Vegas as they do in California, but the price of a home in California is twice as much as Vegas so your theory doesn't hold water.
No they don't, dumbass.
Yes we do dumbass.
No you don't, dumbass. Which building codes are you referring to, the ones in San Francisco, or the ones in Bakersfield? Do houses in Las Vegas have to be built to withstand earthquakes? Of course they don't.

You're a liar, plain and simple.

Who pays you to be stupid, the Koch Brothers?

Mandates that any governing body shall amend its building codes to include seismic provisions of the International Building Code and the standards for the investigation of hazards relating to seismic activity including, without limitation, potential surface ruptures and liquefaction."

If I had a keyboard.........and u were a lady.


I could write book (s), thick book (s) about CA and the decline over many years. Potholes, traffic, dykes, homos, homeless, gangs, graffitti, clip-haired white-man-hating govt mustache lesbo employees stacked up like cordwood, mexican tossing dirty diapers in McDonalds parking lots, freeways with weeds and trash, speeding illegals, negros all but ran off to ghetto districts, Chinamen swarm Cupertino, Indians in Fremont, Mexicans in Santa Ana, ignorant white suburban women voting D by the trucklosd.......it never ends.

But EH, it has very few bugs and the weather is good to great.
So why haven't you moved to somewhere nicer?


I got out in March 2018. House sold fast, over ask. Makes me think I made a mistake? Oh well? Taxes, costs far too high IMVHO. They have even socialized utilities! by "location".

Indian bought the home...lol.
Taxes are high in parts of CA, no doubt. Apparently people think they are worth paying to live there because if not the real estate market would be in trouble.
 
Watching that show I am amazed at the real estate prices in some areas.
These people believe they are getting a deal buying a 50+ year old houses under 1500sq ft for 500k to a million.
That would buy you a 5000sq ft mansion where I live. With some acreage to boot.

Glad I live where my mortgage doesn't suffocate me.

The house in question sold for almost $500,000, and it was only 1600 sq ft.

Building codes are not the same as regulations...dumbass.

Building codes are a group of regulations.
 
Wrong, assshole. The price of real estate in Florida is less than half of what it is in California. The average price of a condo in Tokyo Japan is less than half of what it is in California. California homes are expensive because of leftwing government regulations.
California is a more desirable place to live than Florida. Simple supply and demand. Are leftwing regulations forcing people to buy homes in California? Of course not. People want to live there.

Why a lot of people are moving out of California
The article explains that home prices are too high for some people because real estate in California is very desirable. Supply and demand. If the demand wasn't there the housing market would be a wreck. It isn't.

Kinda skipped over the part saying more people moved out than moved in didntcha sparky.
No. The demand outpaces supply. People that can't afford it leave. If it was a problem housing prices would be tanking. They are not.

WTF...pretty much first line of the article:
For every home buyer coming into the state, there are three Californians selling and moving elsewhere, according to data analysis firm CoreLogic.

Is being dyslectic a trait with most liberals?

Well...not exactly. Building codes are defined by state, although they can be quite similar. Building codes are in essence building regulations, but different types of regulations can be imposed which do not in the least relate to actual building codes.

Did you read the article? People with money are buying real estate because California is so desirable. Prices go up because of the demand and those that can't afford it are leaving to places they can afford.

Is having a rock for a brain a trait with most conservatives?

Property Taxes are ~1.1%*value + small local add-on. $1M home is $5K tax every 6 mos.

If your home is valued high....you pay tax. tax is everywhere. Tax goes in but not much comes back.

You are bullchit. Cali economy and population growth is on the up. It generates enough federal taxes to balance and subside the red states who need government aid in the first place.

The shitty republican states like Kansas are in debt and California is running a surplus. States like CA and NY pay more into federal to help shit states like that. It's time these conservatives start paying their own way and get off the dem state tit.

I like to watch the show "Flip or Flop" where a California couple makes a fortune buying delapidated houses and turning them into gems. On one show they wanted to redo the front yard of the home by installing sod. Their contractactor told them if they wanted to install sod, the newly updated local building code required them to install a drip irrigation system. Fixing the existing system wasn't allowed. They also had to cut down all the large trees on the property and replace them with mature trees. "Mature" means trees costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The total cost was estimated at $20,000

That's the way your local government promotes affordable housing!

The governent is here to help you. There's no such thing as bad regulations, right snowflakes?
I rather stay in an area where the houses are $950 per sq/ft than move to an area filled with dumb regressives.

Supply and demand sweet heart. I dont think you been to Tokyo. Its extremely expensive and wages are low. They mostly rent and the size of the houses are extremely small.

California is a highly desirable area because of: good economy (work opportunities), good weather, good hospitals, good schools, ect....

You are just jealous and hating.

Supply and demand has nothing to do with it, douchebag. Florida is a far more desirable place to live than New Jersey. Yet the price of housing in the later is twice what it is in the former. California is a huge state with plenty of land. There is absolutely no excuse for such outrageous housing prices. The supply is expensive because government regulations make it expensive to build there.
So why do people want to live there if it is such a government burden and so expensive? Why isn't everyone fleeing in droves?
California has tremendous physical beauty and the best possible climate. It sure isn't because of the "quality" government.

I just refered you to a site that shows housing is half the price that you pay in California. I watched an hour long video about the price of housing in Tokyo.

The bottom line is that California sucks, and it's all due to the leftwing government. The schools in California are the worst. They are ranked 49th in quality. The hospitals are no better than anywhere else. The weather has nothing to do with the government. The economy is good only because Silicon valley is located there. That's purely an historical accident that occured before the left took over the state.
 
Answer housing is more expensive every where more people want to live than there is afordable housing available .
Simple and to the point, thank you.
Housing is expensive wherever leftwingers run things. Simple and to the point.
Damn are you butthurt that places that lean left can be desirable to live. Almost like you are a far right partisan hack and kinda dumb.

They are desirable despite the leftwing government, not because of it.

Repeating "supply and demand" 10,000 times won't prove the government of California is doing a good job. The supply is much smaller than it should be because of all the stupid leftwing regulations.

Nevada is not an earthquake zone. There are no "siesmic provisions," numskull.
