Let's not fight bro, we were all part of The Confederacy.
I have always wondered. Could someone from a cheaper part of the country go there, get a job and just live in a van for a year or so while making a high salary? Then go back home with a load of cash.
Their whole mindset would destroy America if it were applied nationwide.Its ridiculous how they live there. No idea why anyone would want to live like that. I guess they just don't care about getting nothing for their money and living in debt with nothing to show for it. I guess at least they have an Iphone. Make any of them rake some leaves for an hour and they would probably fall over and die from exhaustion.
I live in this area. Prices are like the freaking twilight zone!!!
Smack in the heart of one of America’s most expensive cities, a tiny 180-square-foot shack is listed for sale at $1.98 million.The one-bedroom, one-bathroom Palo Alto-based shanty is situated next to a two-car garage. According to the Daily Mail, this prime piece of real estate is just a 12-minute drive from Stanford University and 25 minutes from Facebook’s Palo Alto headquarters. The address is 829 La Para Avenue.The shack, which was built in 1930, rests on 6,800 square feet of land, which is where the price for the property really stems from, as it provides the opportunity for the lucky purchaser to “build their dream home” on it, as the listing states in its description.However, the size of that home might be limited due to a floor area ratio (FAR) measure that was enacted in 1991 when the City of Palo Alto adopted an anti-mansionization mandate that allows for homes to be built on just 30 percent of land that is over 5,000 square feet.Accordingly, the Daily Mail points out that “the maximum floor area of a future home that could be built on the property is 2,816 square feet, which does not include a possible basement addition.One resident in the coveted area said prices have almost doubled since he and his family moved to there in 2011.Last month, a 764-square-foot rotting, wooden earthquake shack located close to San Francisco’s Mission district sold for $408,000.
As someone who has lived in Palo Alto since age 6, I don't recognoze this house, maybe it's in an obscure portion of Downtown North, but it looks totally unrecognizable.
It's the world headquarters of Calibre Fitness
So here is the actual property assholes:
Most of the time they try to come to the east coast after living on the west coast. They buy a big house or what have you, stay for about 3 years and are not used to things like yard work, upkeep of a house, relaxing and a different way of life. They are used to being busy bodies, always having to do something on the go. They end up having a giant meltdown and move back to the west coast after they destroyed an historic house and its character by "updating" it.Fucking pathetic. I have seen it hundreds of times. I love watching it unfold.
Whatever. In toronto developers are buying 2 mil houses and knocking down the houses to build mcmansions for resale at 4 to 5 mil. ...
Not really. By the time that happens, they won't have made enough money on it anyways. Besides, they will just sell it for another shitbox.Seriously, the "high" salaries are inflated. Most there don't have any savings or the ability to save any money when the cost of living is so high. They just live in the moment. They also live right on top of each other and have no land or anything. Its dismal. Especially if you are someone who hates human beings.What a shitty way to live.
Aren't you an unemployed trust fund baby???And an Obama vote
That's a HUGE Palo Alto lot...
A coworker who used to live in Austin and Colorado Springs said Californian's were moving into both locations in large numbers. His complaint was they're trying to turn their new homes into California. Has anyone else experienced this in these locations?
