Californians are still insane, part 2

Part 1 here. Old CaI post here on Swamplot. A wager for Matt Lanning from 3 years ago.

Los Angeles: Little pink $400,000 houses with burglar bars for you and me.
Katy, Texas: 4,276 square foot $400,000 McMansions with swimming pools for you and me.
Los Angeles: I am not sure what this is, but it's 1,056 square feet and $200,000.
Katy, Texas: 5 bedroom, 3,207 square foot crapshack for $200,000.

Los Angeles: Honey, stop the car! 676 square feet. $300,000. Location, location, location!


Katy, Texas: 3,306 square feet built in 2004, complete with really funky interior paint that already looks dated. $300,000.

"Honey stop the car!"

That is some funny sh*t, Lou. Gets me every time. Love those threads.

Here's a nice clean suburb of LA where I live. Great schools.
350k houses.
That pink house is in a very rough part of LA. (I really enjoy the blog, right on.)

Ah Lou, still trying to equilibrate the price of houses nationwide.
But I'm on to you. You just want to trade even-up, don't you? I know your long-term goal.

So who you think's buying the CA homes? Mexicans. For their illegal families. Think about it, the average CA citizen can't afford to by those ugly overpriced homes. I know I can't and don't want to. If you were born and raised in CA, you know better than that.
