I live in California and these vistas are amazing but they come at a very steep price which makes it quite easy to get tired if it. You in the hood, 1 BDR apt, $1400/month!!!! You in one of those areas in the photos, studio apt, $2,000 - $4,000/month. Fixer upper houses in the city...400 - 500k easily...don’t let it be in a nice LA Suburb shyt hitting 700k - 1M easily, in San Fran it’s even worse.

So to sum it up, Cali’ is gorgeous but all the metropolitan areas are going to be for people who make $150k+/year if the cost of living keeps going up. It’s very very difficult to get ahead because the affordable places to live are far from the high paying jobs so that means you’re gonna be in traffic every single day. I wouldn’t move here if I made less than 150k unecumbered meaning no alimony or child support.

This is a vacation state for the middle class, home for the rich...if you middle class stay where you at and come visit us on vacation.

When u think the bubbles gonna burst?

I think in the next couple years for sure. I think a city like Long Beach is gonna feel the pain first since it's steadily driving all the locals out via gentrification while not being a good enough city for the high earners to live. When the economy starts to decline because no one can afford the high ass rent or the hefty nightlife then we know the rest of the state is next.

Just playing. I'm sure interior CA is way cheaper. The IE, Central Valley, or Sacramento.

I didn't even think about that. The surrounding towns in LA County or the surrounding towns in the Bay Area automatically have astounding rent and home prices just due to being next door to the big bosses(LA, SF). I never thought about the lack of amenities these towns may not have, may cause them to struggle to draw the actual big earners away from LA and SF. Thus causing the market to collapse and prices to go down. As long as ppl will still pay big money just to be near LA, will the bubble ever burst?

Didn't know that :ohhh:
During the Great Migration, California received most of it's black migration from Texas, Louisiana and I believe Mississippi. Basically most of the states in the "Western South". It makes sense geographically. Texas is closer to LA/The Bay than it is to NY or other northeastern cities black ppl in the eastern half of the South migrated too.

That's crazy. I was just watching a Documentary of my main nikka on the trigga Bill Russell
Said he was from Louisiana, and his family moved to the Bay Area when he was a kid

Theoretically the answer is yes as California can just be a state of rich people but the problem then lies...who is going to do the service based jobs? If rent is 3k in an area how is someone going to be able to afford to work at the Starbucks that serves the rich person their cup of coffee in the morning?

That’s where we are at now and people are either living close to work with roommates or they are living a couple cities away in a more affordable area and commuting in. But that “couple cities away” is getting farther and farther and it’s making the commuting impossible

Basically I feel that either it’s going to start a mass scale uprising or these cities on the outskirts of the megapolis’ LA and SF are going to start seeing economic downturns as their price to value ratio gets out of whack.

For instance, median rent in Long Beach, CA is the same as LA for the first time in history but has nowhere near the amenities as LA. Why would someone want to pay that much to live in LB when they can be closer to work and in the middle of the action living in LA.

I think we are driving our car clear off a bridge but everyone is so brainwashed into believing the capitalistic fallacy of unlimited growth that they can’t see it.

My family came from Mississippi, Snoop’s uncle is the one that drove my family from there to Long Beach. Think about that for a minute...the Great Migration was THAT RECENT!

Makes sense. Uncontrolled growth is never good. For capitalism to work, you need a class of ppl to do the day to day task that keep wheels spinning for those on a higher income level. Without those workers, a collapse is eminent.

Word?

:ohhh:

Tell Uncle Snoop I said I still remember the first time watching him on TV was during the "What's My Name" music video when I was a small child about knee high.

:wow:

But that also goes to show what a small world it is. How many black ppl in long beach do you think knew each others kin from way back in the South? On a 6 degrees of separation type of thing. I know Ray J, Brandy, Nate and all of them are from McComb Mississippi I believe.

I think a lot of the first generation out here knew each all over Southern California. My Mom was born in McComb and was raised in Magnolia, MS. When my fam first came out to the West we stayed with family in Oxnard, CA and then my Grandpa went down to Long Beach with his homie and only $1.50 in his pocket, set up shop, and brought the rest of the family down.
