Where do you live? Ever driven the 210, 91, 215 or 15 around the Riverside/San Bernardino area? Smog is absolutely still a thing. Bakersfield has the worst air in the US.
California is absolutely desirable and I never said it wasn’t. But your reasons for it being the top spots don’t jive with what people actually feel or think. A lot of houses are being sold sight unseen for cash, sometimes up to 25+% over offer, just to be rented out for a profit by someone from out of state the demand is propped up by this as well as normal migration in.
- zepto 5y agoBay Area doesn’t have smog. California in general doesn’t have smog. The cities listed in the report don’t. Obviously California has some places that are not desirable to live. Bakersfield for sure. > But your reasons for it being the top spots don’t jive with what people actually feel or think. Here you claim that people do not think the places with high housing prices in California have good weather, amenities, natural beauty and jobs. > A lot of houses are being sold sight unseen for cash, sometimes up to 25+% over offer, just to be rented out for a profit by someone from out of state the demand is propped up by this as well as normal migration in. Here you claim that housing prices in California are driven by out of state speculators buying housing as rental properties. Is there any source for this claim? It seems unlikely, given that rents are not keeping pace with housing prices. Also if California is not desirable in the ways I said it is, why would people want to rent from these speculators?
