Houses in my area (Ione, about an hour south ish of Sac) going for 550k or so when I bought, and again, an hour from the "big city" (sac isn't much of a big city compared to actual metropolis but still)

    California real estate is stupid. There is literal farm land right next to expensive ass homes. Building homes is like printing money.

    The weather isn't good enough to justify it, considering recent fires and the fact that you have to live in the Central Valley. Homes in hot-ass methlandia should not be that expensive.
