ep: over a long period I have and continue to make smart decisions that save me money today and far into the future. To the contrary you despite sitting in perhaps the best seat possible (econ prof/real estate license/general contractor/very long tenure here when things were wide open and cheap) have made a series of poor decisions and continue doing so that cost you and more importantly your family money today and far in the future.
Question for astute reader: in the face of contrary opinions from the above who are you going to look to for guidance?
Everything is cyclical. Historically people who did not make good decisions leave by choice or force when affordability gets strained here. It has never been more strained that I am aware of with possible exception of mid 80’s. They have also returned when affordability has gotten bette and return they will.
Everything is cyclical
FWIW, I met yet another person yesterday who was a lifelong resident before high tailing it out to Nashville with the unearned wealth CA provided provided them. They have been there a year. They are miserable and now wish they had stayed but dont think they can return. Everything is cyclical. Well except being able to come back here if you make poor decisions
