[quote=briansd1]That’s why you have dilapidated housing stock in the old neighborhoods.

Good point Brian. I can not believe sometimes that I am driving through a multimillion dollar neighborhood based on the condition of the homes. I figure either the owners are too poor after their absorbent principle to pay for basic maintenance…or they haven’t been outside their homes since the 70’s.

I was in a similar boat as you only we chose to move. So move to Sacramento! Move to a saner city…just kidding.

I would say, buy what you can afford and stay there. IMHO, The idea of moving up is a bad one. because by the time you have some earned equity, you have more expenses, more of a need to save for retirement, or a kid’s college tuition. At the very least I would find some cheaper digs for the next couple of years (~1200/month) while the housing market is so incredibly volatile and save save save. You would be surprised how much cheaper rent has become if you just look around a good bit.

But that is just what we were doing/would do.

true true…I was out all weekend…

I certainly would not be wasting my precious free time on the internet.

But unfortunately, I am not sure what to say. Has it all been said?

Yeah, the state is a magnet for the irresponsible. I never made the distinction between native and non-native. I was not trying to single out who is irresponsible and who is not, only that it is more pervasive here and the clear and dominant impetus behind the prices.
