Anti-development. (Or is that one word?)


That's the best word as "supply and demand" escape them in most economic conversations.

You represent all the people who made me flee in search of elbow room, and why my first house, an 900 sq ft cabin with 6500 sq ft of land on a dirt road 5 minutes from Sequoia Hospital, which I bought for $27K in '74, last sold for $750K in '06 (same size, same dirt road).

Further south, more people live in LA City now than lived in the entire state when I was a boy.

Interesting several SI liberals would love to live in San Francisco or in silicon valley, did before, but no longer can afford to. So they live out in the woods or in the central valley or even out of state.

Maybe Rat is just sore he can only afford to live out in the boondocks with the okies and arkies.

"Bentway and Ted (among others) are wondering why I bought real estate here in the Bay Area even though prices are sky-high."

I don't wonder. I know you have a sky-high opinion of your own judgment, even though the last house you bought lost money. As before, you're buying in an inflating bubble, and will pay a price for your hubris.
