California

[TTQ64]

So did any of that answer the question I asked "cawacko," they can't find a place no where in California? Or are your comments based on your experience in SF and what you know of LA and not the entire State?"

He's blaming government........so that would be Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pete Wilson, George Deukmejian, Ronald Reagan...

only fools think CA is run by democrats...........

And yet California helps fund a number of red states budgets, seems that is one "weight" a whole lot of red states can't afford to lose

You might want to get up with the times Archive. They are a taker state, not a donor state. We could cut them loose and be better off as a nation.

From the article: "The poverty rate, when adjusted for the cost of living, is the worst in the nation. California accounts for 12% of the U.S. population, but a quarter of its homeless population." California has become a weight that needs to be cut free.

Would you be willing to vote that CA stop paying into the federal government and keep it's own revenues?

The housing problem was long before Trump.

I should be more clear.......crooks like dumps family and others.

They rich rigged the system to benefit their pockets. That includes dumps father. .........one of the real architects of the housing market.

They are a taker state, not a donor state. CA costs the rest of the U.S. big money. They could not afford their own social and welfare programs. So, yes. It would just sink quicker.

No one forces anyone to buy a house. The problem is to many people are uneducated in even basic finance.

That means nothing. It owes more than it takes in. It relies on the rest of the U.S. taxpayer to pay for its programs. Anything produced in CA could be gotten less expensive and with better quality someplace else.

So being the 5th largest economy in the world means nothing?

I bet it would mean something if it was kentucky that had a booming economy wouldn't it?

The economy of California is the largest in the United States, boasting a $3.0 trillion gross state product as of 2018. As a sovereign nation (2018), California would rank as the world's fifth largest economy, ahead of India and behind Germany.

This country couldn't survive without CA economy.

Yeah....it used to be the world's 3rd largest economy. What happened? California could be the world's leading economy and it would still spend itself into bankruptcy as it has just accomplished.

Priceless. You brag about how much earning you have but forget to tell everyone that California spends money like its is the world's number 1 economy. The real question. Where does all that money go?

Yeah....we can tell just how prosperous the state of California is......just visit LA and San Francisco. Pay no attention to the garbage flowing into the Pacific, just step around the human shit, and urine stained homeless people living in vacant lots. And by all means pay no attention to the ragging forest (non managed) fires destroying 10s of thousands of prime timber lands. or the thousands of gallons of water being diverted into the pacific away from the drought laden farm lands in the south because the WATER might destroy the breading grounds of some endangered bug or fly.

I work in (commercial) real estate but have invested in residential real estate for years. So this is a topic I have some knowledge about and am passionate about. Starting in the ‘70’s in California we started passing more restrictive land use laws and environmental laws to slow down development. Over time we’ve passed even stricter legislation. With the influx of people along the lack of development we’ve reached the position we’re in today where all but the well to do are priced out of the market.

To your point about ignorance of finance a number of people can’t comprehend how the restrictive environment they desire created this unaffordable situation we face today. So the problem continues to worsen
