You couldn’t afford it today.
Thanks to liberals, CA is unlivable.
Its not just the cost of housing, there’s living expenses, regulations and high taxes.
All adds up. A wonder any one still lives there.
You couldnt afford it today.
You are correct, I couldn’t
And I couldn’t even rent the same house today (which is one good reason to buy rather then rent)
We stay because we have roots here now, and because we are too old to move away from our family support system.
If I was in my 40s I would be thinking about moving.
