There are ways to house yourself cheaply in California such as in San Jose mobile home parks with rent controlled space rents around $1000/month that are roughly equivalent to taxes on a SFH. 1500 sq ft mobile home costs about 1/4 what a SFH does. I live in a senior park and it is surprisingly pleasant - mostly quiet and a nice sense of community.
