"I may be early, but I'm not wrong."

But also, all this money being sent to Ukraine isn't helping either. People who are based, they realize this currency was created for Ukraine. The wise Americans are preparing for a decreased standard of living in the future.

Tell me, how many of each 100 pennies of aid end up in Ukraine?

Housing is falling sharply in California, at least. I was a little early in seeing what would unfold.

Funniest post on the Crim in quite a while.

This is a home down the road from our home. The housing "investment" period is over. You're welcome.

So you live in a shitty neighborhood.....

[Cassandra]

You're half right. The whole state of California is going to shit, like Colorado.

Monterey Park isn't exactly a shitty neighborhood (unless you don't like Asians) but his showing the decrease in a listing price on one house in his hood as an indicator of an entire housing market is pretty humorous.

Of course it's not. It's actually one of the best places to live in the area. Very safe, lots of good food, etc. The bigger problem is, it's still part of a state that is declining due to bad policies.

to look at. california is very beautiful.

Redfin puts an estimate on that property's value as $756k. Looks like your neighbor just has a shitty realtor and overpriced their property trying to gouge people. Rough life when you "only" get $750k for a 1,400 square foot house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.

I wouldn’t have expected a frugal foodie to be a close-the-border guy. We all contain multitudes, I suppose.

That area ( LA/Santa Monica/Malibu ) of California sucks so so hard.
I'd rather live in somewhere like Georgia or some shit.

Feel free to move to Alabama or Mississippi. Sounds like their policies are more to your liking and real estate is quite affordable there comparatively.

[MICHHAWK]

alabama is lovely.

i'm sure mississippi is also. i just can't speak to that. as i have never been there.

I grew up not far from there at all (or there, depending on how one defines LA).

The weather and lifestyle do not, for me, come remotely close to justifying the negatives.

To me, the most notable of those are (1) cost of living, (2) traffic and most of all (3) a way, WAY, WAAAAAAYYYYY too great a percentage of people who don’t fucking do anything.

[ousdahl]

Don’t do anything how so?

[twocoach]

You couldn't pay me enough to make me want to live in LA. Too expensive, too congested and too many people who are too worried about appearances. What you drive, what you wear, what you look like. I find personal vanities to be rather gross in general.

I think hes saying you'd fit right in.

Wow, we actually agree for once.

Fish nailed it.
I'd add a 4th - lotta fucking entitled for no reason people.

Well, much of the south is... not good. But there's lots of very good places in the midwest (KC being one).

Cali is, in decline. Come visit all you like, but I wouldn't recommend people try to come live here.
