[quote=6packscaredy]what about arcata ca? i see a place on the coast like right ont he coast can be had for the 150’s. why the hell is everyone here in southern ca again? i cant remember…[/quote]
Very nice area, scaredy. Arcata, CA is the home of Humboldt State University and it is NOT technically “on the coast.” A lot of the “cheap” housing you are undoubtedly seeing up there are longtime permanently-skirted mobile homes (made to look like stick-built homes). Some are on oversized lots with nice gardens built up around them. Several beautifully-rehabbed Victorians grace Arcata’s streets.
Shhhh … Humboldt and its surrounding counties are one of America’s best kept “secrets.” Don’t let the cat out of the bag! Let the masses continue to prefer their cookie-cutter neighborhoods in SoCal, replete with Mello-Roos.
