Your economic system has everything to do with war hon.

So when we in California discuss our laws to allow development it's really about the war machine? Ok.
And what economic system do you support that would build enough housing for everyone?
Yes, but that's a bit like saying that millions more people own Ford Fiestas than own Bentleys.
So why doesn't enough population flow from California to Texas to equalize prices? The answer is that there are a whole lot of people who'd rather pay vastly more for the right to life in California than relocate to the Ford Fiesta of states.

California puts market barriers in place that inflates housing values. It's also why we have such a smaller middle class. We create a situation where basically only the rich and poor can afford to live here

If I was a retiree, I would have been long gone from California?!!
[FONT=&]Cars are no longer just a means of transportation. In a time when rents are soaring and housing prices are on the climb, they're also doubling as a home.

[FONT=&]Look no further than California, where the median price for a home is at a record high of $600,000 and sleeping in cars is a common occurrence. A recent Slate article explored the rising epidemic on America's West Coast and found that 15,000 people live in cars, vans, and RVs in Los Angeles alone, citing the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. That's not counting car dwellers in other expensive California cities, like San Diego and San Francisco.

Salary needed to live comfortably in San Francisco
If your income is sufficient to cover your cost-of-living expenses, you can live comfortably. The study found that you would need to earn $110,357 to achieve that goal in San Francisco — more than New York, Honolulu or Washington. I would be living in my SUV too in San Francisco!

California created it's own problems. Let them live with it.
If the economy is vibrant and has such high pay, why are people living in their cars?
According to Oneuli, the economy in California is vibrant and pays well. Why are people living in cars if it's that good?
The high priority, if what Oneuli says is true, is to take part in it.
I don't have a house payment, the weather is good, and there are very few of you leftwing assholes here. The few we do have are so few and far between we can ignore them.

Within the U.S. we've had more people leaving the state than coming in. When you factor in immigrants our population has grown.

So that they can have access to that vibrant economy with high pay. If they wanted a less vibrant, lower-paying economy, there are dozens of states they could choose from, and the move would come with the consolation prize of not having to live out of their cars. But, they prefer California.
Yes, certainly some have chosen to move.... just not even remotely as many as would be needed to bring the cost of housing down to the level it's at in the less desirable states.
