The View From Northern California

Now that you were so excited cause our sewage rates are so low, I would add another small matter---affordability.

I have been observing in Northern California for a couple of days of R&R and went into an open house for a three bedroom rambler, small lot, nicely decorated that would sell for $120,000 in Evansville. Asking price was $699,000. It sold in 2 days.

I will be observing over the next few days just exactly how people are getting the money to buy such homes, and will report back. My preliminary conclusion is that one does not live in Wisconsin and retire in California, but maybe the reverse.
