These cities are now so expensive they’re considered ‘impossibly unaffordable’

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most expensive US cities to buy home are in California, where San Jose, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego have all made the top 10. The Hawaiian capital of Honolulu also rates a mention in sixth place of 94 major markets surveyed in eight countries.

So the best way to create valuable real estate is to have democrats run cities and turn them into terrifyingly dangerous, crime-ridden shitholes.

Neo-conservatives make no sense.

P.S. Apologies for resorting to facts.
 
Seeing as how nearly all US cities are run by Democrats, I think you instead need to apologize for not thinking things through clearly.

Yes, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Houston, Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore, Seattle, and Portland, all "quite successful."

Perhaps you'd like to buy property in some of their more "challenging" neighborhoods? I'm sure they'll bounce back.
 

It seems Detroit is on the rebound:


but the lib-prog Maple flag must go.

MAGA.

A significant portion of Californians are MAGA like me, so you should end your post with Mexicans out of deference for the MAGA.

MAGA.

At least we have liquidity traps who can spend 44 bil to buy a message board that annoys them, though.
 
Living in San Jose has been challenging, cost-wise. The housing is incredibly expensive with starter homes approaching the $2M mark. This is not a function of democrats or republicans, but large tech companies enjoying tremendous success which translates directly to employees being extremely well compensated.

It’s not unusual to start with $300k comp+bonus+stock fresh out of school. nVidia recently hired a former colleague, 8 years out of school and with two years engineering management under his belt, with a $375K base and $1.2M in stock. These aren’t mightly executives and elites. These are engineers, techies, nerds. It’s very hard for people outside of that bubble to compete with those in it, and these are not small bubbles—they employ hundreds of thousands of working professionals.

Same with Chatfield State Park South of Denver right now. Crazy crowded. Awesome weather and reservoir. Not as busy constructing as Phoenix area but still great.
