Left vs Right, in housing

TS represents the typical tea party/fox news target demographic. Years and years of consuming right wing propaganda has turned his brain into complete mush. The same has happened to many people that I care about, it's sad to see the effect of propaganda on otherwise good people. Not that TS is a good person or anything

Not that you are either, but at least you're swallowing all the right propaganda.
 
Regardless of politics, there are more people who desire to live in Los Angeles than there are who desire to live in Arkansas. This demand coupled with the housing supply and average lot size (much higher in Arkansas due to much lower population density) yield the situation you've described in your photo montage.

of course the LA house is the better investment because land appreciates while houses depreciate.

I think everyone recognizes what an idiot the TS is, but this is the clearest, best explanation of what is wrong with the OP.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe the reasons why California real estate prices have soared higher than the national average is because of the land restrictions, zoning laws and "smart growth" policies. I.e. Regulations.

Also, in places like San Francisco, rent control, along with the above policies, has created housing shortages in the city.

I remember my family bought a house in Hayward, CA in 2000 for $410,000. During the housing boom, it's value increased somewhere between $500,000 to $600,000. Of course, the value of my home has decreased since.

Zoning certainly matters in terms of constraining housing supply, but ultimately land prices are high because there's only so much land in CA and lots of people want to live there. You're not paying for the house, you're paying for the ground. In Bentonville land is cheap because not so many people want to live there and there's plenty of room to expand. Not the case in Silicon Valley or LA.

Lol!

At least Manson doesn't make many threads, at least from what I've seen. Ruthless will make 3 or 4 duds in one day.

Is it at all possible that Manson was really asking why city folks, at least from large cities, tend to lean left and just fucked up (and is a dumb ass) and made it about home prices?
 
Benefit of the doubt is generally not given in such horrible threads like this.

You wouldn't think this was hard to understand.
