san diego housing prices are out of control. and orange and los angeles counties are even more.

I guess the illegals there aren't doing much to keep housing prices down like some people claim they do. Where are all those affordable homes they build? Can't you get your illegals to work for $5 an hour in home construction? Geez ---you might as well use American labor like they do in some areas of the country where nice homes can be bought for $80,000.

partially this owes to the limited amount of coastal land, partially to environmentalists who even save a species of flies here (believe it or not!) around corona, ca., and partially to the democrats who control the cities and counties and state with draconian laws. you would need a lawyer to push through a new development and that can take 5 years, i'm told.

so, people are building out into the mountains north of los angeles, it snows up there. and people are building in the deserts. the low deserts of the coachella valley, and the high deserts of the mohave.

most of the prime coastal land is gone, or off limits.

stay tuned.
