(KTLA) — Only 15% of California households could afford to buy a home during the third quarter of 2023, according to new figures released by the California Association of Realtors.

The new figures represent the lowest home affordability rate since 2007.

The latest figures show that California’s housing affordability rates continue to decrease after dropping to 16% in the second quarter of 2023.
 
For comparison, about 56% of California home buyers could afford a home during the first quarter of 2012, the index’s peak high, a news release said.
 
However, house affordability rates have dropped significantly since then, thanks to high housing costs, low inventory, and increasing interest rates.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

... a home [in California].  I suspect most Californians could buy a home if they were willing to relocate, say to western Kansas or to a city with an urban homesteading program.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

Theme from the 2023 Beverly Hillbillies reboot.

Californy is the place we have to flee. So they loaded up the truck and returned to Tennessee.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

I wonder how many can no longer  afford their OWN  homes,due to leftist  taxation in order to support the parasitic homeless Dim voters that now live in Ca?
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
