We made the mistake of rolling out a municipal Gigabit Fiber Optics Network via our local power board. We thought it would attract high tech business but what it attracted was Commiefornia remote IT workers. They show up in Birkenstocks and Subarus and don't think twice about offering $100K over local asking prices for homes. They sell their little Commiefornia shoebox house for stupid money then buy here with cash in hand. They have already run up our housing costs.

Someone recently sold their 328 square foot shoebox cottage "near" (not on) the beach for over a million US dollars. Yes, that's over $3000 per square foot.

We're a little bit outside of reality here as it is, but that doesn't exactly help. It's also not unheard of for houses in the region to sell for $1,000,000 over asking price.

That million us dollars can buy 9000 acres with a house, barn, and livestock in some places.

That's between the SF bay area and LA, and going inland a ways. As for farming, keep in mind that there's at least 6 months with zero rain, and maybe up to 8 or 9 months. Hence, "golden hills" of CA.

The prices are what happens when trillions of $ are dumped into tech in a state that was already the crown jewel of US states, and housing demand exceeds supply. The rampant faggotry is what happens when conservatives abandon such a place.

This was close to 7000 acres, and looks like it sold for $44 million to become a national monument. I remember the market price being closer to $200 million before it became a political issue. A couple tech pioneers from the WWII era put up the money.
