Butch,

Depends on where you're at. In my area, $500,000 is a starter home now. LA, Orange County, San Diego, etc., are pricey, and the bay area is ridiculous. But there are some gorgeous areas in the Sierra Nevada foothills that are far less.

That puts it all in perspective I have a 14-40 lathe (40 inches), yours is XXX-40 (40 feet). Nice machine!!! If I could post pictures I would show me and my friend splitting my tractor wheels in his big Summit or is it Monarch? He has one of each. With the gap removed the tractor wheels fit with 1/8th to spare.

My youngest Son and Family live in Lancaster and $1,000,000 is a nice house with space, but it ain't special. It is not a place I care about. If Chad and wife were able to find jobs as good as theirs, they would be in Texas in a minute.
 
Move north

to Manitoba.......way cheaper.

No poisonous snakes or insects, almost no flooding except in spring thaw depending on the amount of snow and the odd small tornado.

Oh yah, you have no snow or -30 degree temps. Stay there.

Ohh yeahhhh, I really miss those spring frost boils.... and mosquitos..... and 40 below......


but BTST my daughter's best friend just married a guy from the midwest and they moved to Ironwood MI and bought a HOUSE in town on a lot a quarter mile from the lake........ bought and moved into a fixer-upper they could work on while living there..... they're warm, dry and comfortable, raising a baby, and the place is looking better all the time.......


For $29,000.00


"Downside?" When they get it all fixed up and looking new and fresh,


It'll be worth less than a new pickup truck. Kinda' hard to "make money" in that housing market, but an awesome place to live.


And it's pretty warm there in Ironwood, "Lake Effect" ensures that it rarely dips below -20F....30 below is considered mighty cold..... LOL

Butch,

I worked for LASD from 90-94. Back then, the Palmdale/Lancaster area was pretty much desolate. People were just starting to move out there because it was affordable. I was down there a couple of years ago and couldn't believe how populated it had become. Wish I would have bought some land out there all those years ago...

Our new digs. Note the shop, and my attraction to the property should be readily apparent. But this will give you an idea of what your money can buy in my locale of the People's Republic of Kali...

Nice place Justin. My Son and DIL worked at Plant 42 in Palmdale when in the Air Force at the Lockheed U2 rebuild facility. After retiring about 8yrs ago the went to work for Northrup in the same area.

rsmithsr,

And if we could just nuke the prison...

You know my locale...are you near by?

The prison and the Diablo nuke plant are two of the counties largest employers. And they're shutting Diablo down. That is going to put a serious wrinkle in things around here.

Apparently, Kalifornia has "too much" energy and doesn't need the nuke plant. In fact, the trend now is to prohibit the building of houses that use "natural gas", instead requiring that new construction be all electric...despite electric being stupid expensive. In fact, I got the "state mandated" snot fined out of me last year during a particularly hot, two week run of weather for being a gross user of energy...yet, apparently, we have a metric ass ton of it. I did some plumbing and converted our clothes dryer to gas.

Gosh...it seems like yesterday when "natural gas" was the answer to everything, to include global warming, impotence, and gout.

Funny and true story...my little brother was also part of the Irish Welfare program...meaning he was the fuzz as well (he didn't listen to older brother's career advice). He worked for an agency that fell under the auspices of a "progressive" city manager that insisted that the police department begin driving patrol cars powered by natural gas...which ended up with the highly cost effective result of them driving 15 miles out of their jurisdiction, 3-4 times a night, to fill up their units. Well...one night, little brother went to stop a n'er-do-well for a violation and the chase was on. His natural gas powered police car versus a...no lie...Volkswagon Beetle. And the Beetle got away...

Fun and games in Kalifornia...

Butch,

Thank you. My ideal home was a 1000 square foot, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, concrete tilt-up with floor drains, and a 10,000 square foot shop but, alas, I'm married...so that didn't happen.

Women...

been there done that.
it is not the first time ca pushed electricity over gas. I lived in a condo in the late 70's that was all electric but has a gas fire place....I plumbed my dryer off the fireplace.
I did a job interview at the plant.
just a little knowledge of the area.
one of the better areas of the state.
