THE COST OF LIVING, IN CALIFORNIA

No, I am not going to compain about much ... political-wise in California ... at least I don't think so ...

I am a couple days behind in watching Special Report (FNC) and so I am watching Jan. 13th's episode ...

They have reached one of the stories on the Wildfires happening there ... most of the stats & observations on these will come later, in a differentt post ....

This is about a report where they were talking about some of the housing ....

Well, we all know that "beach front" property in CA is "Prime" realestate ... BUT this blew my mind.

The reporter points out where a MOBILE HOME PARK used to be ... yup, all gone ... and he said what it was worth ... for a SINGLE mobile home in that park ...

I couldn't believe my ears!

Now, we care for the Resort ... three of the properties are Lake Front properties - and the majority of the property tax is based on how many feet of lake shore each property has ...
And it's not cheap, by any means ...

There are a few mobile homes around the lake which SHARE a docking situation, but in general, you are hard pressed to see the lake .... they are valued at about $200,000 by the Property Tax people ....

In the cities, I would think you could likely buy one for about $40,000 ....

So how much does one cost in California??

$1 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah .... a mobile home ... a House with Wheels! ... the things you are NOT supposed to be in when a tornado hits (because God hates them) .... Shoe Boxes with a kitchen and bathroom ....

A Million Dollars!!!

All because they overlook the beach!

Holy crap ... and then we hear about how many eople DON'T have fire insurance ... 
But not because they didn't buy any - but because INSURANCE COMPANIES cancelled coverage on people BEFORE this years out break of wildfires ....

Word is, there is now a MORATORIUM from Governor Newsome which prevents any more insurance companies from dropping coverage for ONE YEAR ... yup ...

So - if they didn't cancel you this year, you can pretty much count on it for next year ...

The next election is in 2026 ... we will have to see who gets to keep their job, and who gets voted out ...

I suggest changing the person who decides how much that property is worth ....
A million dollars for a mobile home????

Geez
