Marin County is status, apparently. Santa Clara County is pretty much one big expensive slum now. It was nice in the 70s even tho the schools were not as horrible but for the 70s were still so bad that I had to be put a year ahead. And it only gets worse going south from there on 101. All I can figure is that people there just don’t realize how bad it is or think they have it good. Sort of like North Koreans.
“big expensive slum”
By the looks of it most of Florida should be very affordable.
