ParticipantRents for SFHs are falling in my area, which is close to the L.A./Ventura county line. Something to keep in mind!! A house the pencils out as a “buy” based on a rent vs. buy calculation today, may end up being a lousy deal if rents drop appreciably in the next couple of years.
I have to admit that the 3B apartment is a clever proxy for areas where the SFH rental market is too thin to ascertain a market value. Of course, whatever the market 3B-apt rents are, you have to inflate them by some factor. The reason for this is that a 4B or 5B detached house with a nice yard in a quiet neighborhood is much more valuable to me, and possibly to you too, than a 3B apartment.

ParticipantAnd, don’t worry, as usual, the california courts will overturn the prop
True. In the 1960s Californians approved a proposition that would have made it legal to add racial discrimination clauses to real estate contracts: The realtors association lobbyied to have the “right” to demand that buyers sign a clause to the effect that they would not resell the property to a person of color.
Guess what, the courts shot it down! Something similar passed in the 1990s with the “anti-immigrant” Prop 187 (really a racist initiative) that would have required Nazi style round ups of children in public schools and teachers demanding to see proof of citizenship before admitting kids to class. The courts shot this one down too!
We Californians have a history of voting for these propositions and initiatives that curtail basic civil rights. But the ACLU and other true libertarians will make sure that the courts hear the arguments and make a decision based on what is constitutional, and not based on what the mob/herd voted for.

ParticipantThe gay community has an agenda, and this agenda would have resulted in gay marriage being taught in public schools as well as relgious people/institutions being persecuted.
Of course they have an agenda: to be treated equally under the law.
Prop 8 is about denying civil rights and equality under the law. Prop 8 has NOTHING to do with schools teaching or not teaching anything about gay marriage. That was a dishonest scare tactic used by the Prop proponents. Also, Prop 8 has NOTHING to do with religious freedom. If your church doesn’t want to celebrate gay weddings, then nothing would have changed by rejectin Prop 8.
Prop 8 is about equality under the law and not having second class citizens. The schools or churches arguments were 100% falacious and scare tactics.
If you voted YES on Prop 8 there is no way you are a libertarian. Overturning Prop 8 would have not forced schools nor churches to do anything differently. Restricting the rights of consenting adults to live their lives as they see fit and to have equal rights is the complete opposite of libertarianism.
