[quote=svelte]Folks here talk like all of California has the same economic situation – just not true!
As has been pointed on other sites, there is really a stark difference between coastal areas and inland California…especially if you get outside of the LA basin.
Prices are much, much lower in the central valley.
You can’t compare places like Bakersfield, Fresno, Stockton, Chico, and Redding to San Francisco, LA, and San Diego especially in terms of home values.[/quote]
Absolutely, I agree …. That’s why always qualify my posts with the phrase “CA coastal counties.”
There is no comparison whatsoever in lifestyle OR real estate values between CA coastal counties and CA inland counties. They are two completely different animals.
