Don't move here

Despite many individuals leaving CA, or so it seems, the real estate market around me is red hot right now. Most houses are selling within 4-7 days. So, the area is still desirable to some people....maybe just not certain folks.


Del Mar is incredible. Problem is, I would need $5-$8M to afford the house I want.
So what are you waiting for!
 
I really hope everyone in California is safe, and I mean that.

State of Emergency. It is on the news. And it looks bad.
Thanks JT20. 2M acres burned; mostly in the National Forrests.
The fires in the Silicon Valley area are 60% contained or better.
Those who can move back in have done so.

I love living here. I hate fires. Fires are part of CA.
The last few years have been rough.
But we are CA. We will rebuild. We are strong. We help each other.
 
If my life situation allowed for it, I'd move to California in a second. I used to travel quite a bit for work and pleasure and really enjoyed the time I've spent in Del Mar. I'll probably wind up in Arizona, Nevada, or Utah if I'm lucky.
Del Mar? That's San Diego. Gimme the South Bay Area any day. Opportunity abounds.
 
... But I love ... the things I can do like going to the beach and mountains in the same day. ...
You can do that in any of several east-coast states (including the 4 I've lived in), but won't have a lot of play time left over in that day.

Absoulutely! It cant be that bad, The prices are very high which equates to very high desirability. I live in Indiana and between the backwards people and horrible weather its not very desirable, hence its cheap.
 
SD has Qualcomm, and then all life science. SV has the VC feeding into startups which is why most of the tech companies start here, and once it starts here it is hard to move elsewhere.

Regarding to rolling blackout, this hasn't been around since the Enron one back then. The real blackout outside of this years' ridiculous weather is really the PG&E shutdown due to transmission line risk. Without going politics PG&E is bankrupted and they cannot get California to tell them it is ok or not ok to turn off power to avoid sparking wild fire (high wind), so they just shut them off when things look bad instead of risk a fire that will bankrupt them again.

Wild fires are always here and will always be here, except we have pushed the suburb further and further near the wood and now the damage is much bigger.
