hipmatt & bsrsharma, you make it seems like all of CA is like SD, LA, and SF. Have you gone to places like Fresno and Bakersfield? There are plenty of flat land. Yet, it’s still 2X more expensive than houses in TX. Although TX have high property tax, they don’t have income tax. The valley is just as hot and cold as TX, so weather is not very desirable at all. The valley air is also extremely worse than TX. It’s always either unhealthy or bad when I watch the news.
