• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Interesting analysis ... wide variation in home affordability, by state

Can you explain why costal states NC, SC and GA are reasonably priced compared to NY ??????? The climate is much better in the south and besides NYC, the state of NY is a ghost state. People are fleeing in record numbers because the taxes are so high. Same thing is happening to the middle class in California.


Case dismissed !!!!!!! :roflblack:


You're saying the climate in NC, SC and GA is good? Have you ever been to any of those states? In summer??? :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

You say the middle class is fleeing CA? Nooooo. It's rich people and educated ones moving in while the poorer ones are moving out. See http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com...thy-people-per-report-20180221-htmlstory.html

And why would this happen? Well, CA is the tech capital of the world, the economy just moved up to #5 in the world (ahead of the country of Great Britain) and the climate is just wonderful. People are willing to pay a lot of money for that. Do they have too much regulation? Probably. Do they make some stupid decisions? Certainly. Too many illegals? Absolutely. And yet for some reason housing prices keep going up. I guess it's all those illegals buying the million dollar houses, huh?

You're under the popular delusion that CA is just a terrible place to live, just a disaster, unliveable. Most of the problems they have are greatly exaggerated by Fox. They simply don't affect most people or you wouldn't see an influx of rich and educated people there. But hey, I can't blame you for the misinformation, I read Fox, too. But I read it mostly for the lolz.

Have you been to NY in the Winter or stepped into the ocean in another high priced blue coastal state, Massachusetts ???????? I'll take those 3 southern states any day !!!!!! :thumbup:


Regarding CA.............It's a fact the middle class is fleeing. If teachers can't afford to live their how are fast food workers, gas station attendants and other low wage workers going to survive. Who is going to teach their kids, serve the rich their food, pump their gas or do their laundry ?????? Illegals, that who !!!!! A state that breaks federal laws. Fact, 44% of California residents don't speak English in their own home (or the tents that line the streets housing illegals). When you visit there just be carful not to step on a hypodermic needle.
:thumbup:

Yes the climate is nice, but that state has no chance of surviving long term if they followed the law on it's current path. Your own article says one million more moved out than moved in, and that's a bias CA news source.
As a lawyer, I thought you were concerned about people following the law ????
Unless your a defense attorney. :joke:

 
Just FYI there are no gas attendants here, we blubstaters pump our own :yes: whole boat load of gardner’s though.

As far as 44% not speaking English in their own home you are going to have to source that or I call BS.

Hey at home you can speak any language you want, BUT in public it is disrespectful and it should not be allowed on dmv or public
funded signs. If it makes it harder on some then perhaps they will work harder to learn the language of the country they want to
live in.
 
I'm really surprised at the Colorado number. Any thoughts on why? I mean i get tourism but that high?

As a resident of WA, I completely agree with that number. Seems like the entire west side of the state the demand/cost is rising fast. :shocked:

I had the same thought. Maybe someone from CO can weigh in with their perspective. Utah is catching up. It might have something to do with the reason for the tourism - the 'outdoor' experience.

Maybe the foreigners like smoking weed where it's legal............ :doorag:

:dontknow: Joking aside, it's legal in WA too. :P I know our economy (Amazon, Msoft, etc) is "helping" the fast rise of housing. I'm curious if it's the ski resorts, the high value there? That seems seasonal tho?

I think Colorado and Utah benefit from being year-around outdoor playgrounds of exceptional beauty. There is tremendous wealth concentrated in the ski resort towns, for instance, from all the second home owners, among other things.

Yeah, we have the weed. And it's the low lifes from red states who can't get theirs coming here and trashing the place. We ought to build a wall the keep em out! :roflblack:

CO has all the mega bucks ski resorts, great climate, clean air and high tech businesses to attract those darned Californians and Texans who drive up real estate prices and clog our roads. ;)

Yeah, don't come here, y'all keep out. :p

Correlation does not equate to causation! :lecturef_smilie:

Yep! That's what's happening in Idaho now, one of the reddest states in the Union!
