I'm reading this on the toilet right now....I'm taking a South Central.
What does any of what you've written have to do with FL weed va Cal weed? That's the pushback. I don't care that you don't like California. A lot of people don't. If you wanted to move here, you would be generally welcomed. If you don't, also fine.
I still can't figure out what a 2 bedroom home costing a million bucks has to do with weed. TorrAnce is a nice town. So is Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, PV and Rolling Hills. You know why it's expensive? Because many people think it's worth it. Kind of like why Gables by the Sea is so much more expensive than Lauderdale Lakes, right?
All insults to the side - the part of the equation that you are missing and that most miss is that you are taking Florida pay and appying it to California home prices without considering that the pay in Cal is significantly higher. A couple other porsters have pointed that out as well.
Time to flush this cerote right now.
