You know what...you're right. I'm so fucking jealous that I can't spend $250K on a run down house in the ghetto. I'm getting really sick of being able to pay $250K for a really nice house. Plus, I really wish I didn't have to read...ever, like everyone in California. Oh...and why isn't cilantro (sp?) served on EVERYTHING in Kansas as well regardless of the fact that no one really knows what it is? I'm also really bummed that the women here aren't plastic...physically and emotionally and it sucks that no one here feels like their physical location is a status symbol. Did I mention I'm so goddamned tired of breathing clean air? You're right...I'm just so fucking jealous.

I don't care what California contributes. It's not like if they stopped someone somewhere else wouldn't pick up where they left off. California can get fucked. And Montana's big...I don't hate Montana. Texas is...well...ok, I hate Texas. Scratch that/

california is so big its got everything.. rember that.. everything the goods and the bads. you cant judge soemthing you only hear the bad things from. robs right, its not overpaying if you want to be there and choose to pay that price. sure they've got tons of shitholes and fake people, but they are here in orlando too... lots of them still, but we're not known for it so its not one of the things people think of about here. we've got overpriced houses, not that bad, but prety bad. something that should be 400k tops is going for 1.2mil a 125k house is about 300k.. not right, but its all about location, and since the economy can work at those high prices it will continue to do so.

Oh I'm not "hearing the bad things". I've been to L.A. on a few occassions and I'm never going back. Northern Cali might be better, but like hell I've got that kind of money.

As for overpaying, I mean in relation to it's actual worth. For instance, a pack of cigarettes here costs about the same as a gallon of gas (roughly). However, in New York they go for $8 a pack. I think anyone would agree that if something is sold for a certain price somewhere and somewhere else it's vastly more expensive, then the person in the second location is overpaying.
