On display here is the race towards trying to buy land somewhere before a Californian manages to bail from Silicon Valley and buy it before you.
Wish the best to all the young folks enduring this competition currently.
- reducesuffering 2y agoHousing and land prices in metros are crazy and much building should be done. But, rural land like his are abundant. Even a couple hours from Silicon Valley is a house on acres for $300k.

- Fomite 2y agoThe...shall we say non-uniform distribution of political beliefs in the folks moving from California has also done wild things to the politics in some of these areas.
- miah_ 2y agoIts a good thing the US is _huge_. I certainly didn't "displace" anybody as I moved back home to Michigan from California to buy a house in the woods. There are at least 6 houses for sale within a half mile from me right now all for well under $300k. People struggling in California could learn a thing or two by moving.
- ryandrake 2y agoThat doesn't stop people from imagining the "Big Bad Californian" in their minds. For a while, I was looking out-of-state for real estate, and I encountered a non-zero number of realtors informing me that their seller intends to charge a "California tax" to anyone coming from that state, because he doesn't like where I'm moving from.
- miah_ 2y agoJust because somebody wants to know where you're from, doesn't mean they are entitled to know that. You are under no obligation to say "I'm from California" when buying a house. Your realtor can do all the discussions. "You're a person buying a house".
