Ha-ha. This town I mentioned is the “Riverside” of Texas state. Groucho Marx said, “Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?” Hint: my eyes and observations don’t lie. Like a flock of migratory birds seeking greener pastures, the extremely mobile immigrants, both illegals and legal, are seeking their own dreams in greener pastures, literally. As of today, the borders don’t have the equivalent of Great Wall of China yet.
The meat of my earlier post is: $365.00 per SF house in San Diego is a nightmare. And $70.00 per SF house in this Texas town is a dream that can easily turn to reality for sensible migrants. I agree with merlin’s post above that houses close to their actual cost value of construction will not drop 50%, unlike in San Diego. A dollar in Texas is same dollar in San Diego, but the dollar in Texas buys way a lot more.
