If you havent been asked in chat already, you will be sooner or later. Are you organic?

Why would you transform a person into a T-Shirt? "Oh my GOD! That bowling ball! Its my wife!"

No chance that I am going to push 'play'

Wow thats a nice price. I dont see myself living in the bay area forever. Many things can happen.

Hi guys Any recommendations on a good android pad that has very little or no bloat ware? Still one of the things where I look at laptops as far superior.

Turtle beach. Probably better 'gaming' headphones but I like these all around for games and music.

Well lets see. The place I made on offer on, which they accepted (but sold as-is) after inspection has a bunch of things wrong with it. Estimated repairs would have been pretty expensive. So bailing on that one, since it was contingent on a favorable inspection. It was a rental. Which is common. But it seems the owners, as landlords, didnt put any money into it. However another one just got put on the market close to the same price that is in much better condition. And no repairs needed. Everything works. So we shall see how that one goes. Trials and tribulations of home buyers.

Virtual fireplace. Because it never gets old.

Question is, do you sing in chat.

I was considering checking out whether or not to move there. Because of the wonderful housing prices and ratings for quality of life etc. But it was just too far away and likely too different than what I am used to. Signing some title company escrow papers this morning and prices in CA truly suck.

I dont get it. But I dont watch hockey.

Goes without saying, move maps that you no longer play into a storage folder.

Get out while you can! Consider yourself forewarned! ?

Lets say the same price for comparable condos in reasonable areas, Walnut Creek or Maui. No wonder so many people think California is just plain stupid. Edit: Two places. First in Walnut Creek. Checked it out and didnt like it much especially for the price. View was nice and convenient location but the complex and place itself was so-so. 315k https://www.redfin.com/CA/Walnut-Creek/430-N-Civic-Dr-94596/unit-409/home/1855870 Another in Maui, same sq footage and same price. HOA $150 less. Wish I had my own private jet so I could take a quick trip to see what you get for the same money. https://www.redfin.com/HI/Kihei/2140-Awihi-Pl-96753/unit-6/home/71748334 So advisement.... if you dont need to move to CA. Choose somewhere else.

Dont quit your night job. ?

Benicia is a nice little out-of-the-way area. Not cheap there either but better than others. I sometimes research other areas of the country just for info and its kinda sad how some nice places can be had in a good area for half as much. Some nice suburbs outside of Vegas with some very good prices compared to here. Then again, it IS in the middle of a desert and might as well go live in Death Valley cheap.

Ugh, hate it when affordability is just horrible. Dont want to spend everything I have nor do I want to move far away. Found a reasonably affordable place in a pretty decent area reasonably close. But turns out some pricey things need to possibly be replaced. Bah!

1.2 is still quite a bit of profit, but the company is also 20 billion in debt. And the last couple years it has been going up not down.

120 billion? Might want to check that.

Checked out some condos nearish that street. They were kinda 'blah' for their asking price. A couple were just plain run down and not maintained. Also they seem to be not very good investments for the mid term. Apartments/condos in big multistory buildings in highly populated sections tend to go down in price the fastest, and then go back up the slowest. And yea Ygnacio was horrible.

Yea they are horrible. I thought Monterey was bad. For the budget I was hoping for, to get a place without a mortgage, its either accept something really small but close to Walnut Creek, or start looking for areas farther away. Also dont want to choose areas where... as my realtor says... you have to hide your big screen TV so you cant see it from the outside. So currently my three options, for this area, are to increase the amount I wanted to spend to get a decent place. Go farther out. Or get an inexpensive rental. A possible one out in Clayton, depending on how I arrange some finances and if they drop the asking price a little bit. Monday we are going to check out a couple condos in Benicia. Prices seem significantly better and you get more for it. So if one of those works for me its a significant cash savings. Not quite yet at the point of saying that the Bay Area simply isnt worth it, even though family is here and that is important. So been reading about a couple locations in SoCal that seem reasonable. Camarillo seems nice. In the other direction, if I want the serene life also has a pretty good cost of living Clear Lake seems interesting. Edit: Not that there is such a thing as an inexpensive rental here either. But as inexpensive as possible for this area.

He has the right to his opinion, and to say it. Everyone else is free to not read it instead of trying to shut people down. Or to belittle them.

Sounds like I would be way too nice of a person to know how to deal with 'wild women'. I would probably bore them to death. Some of the affordable ones are also in nice little enclaves but surrounded by places you wouldnt want to walk though at night. If there was a nice inexpensive modern house in a nice little neighborhood.... but right in the middle of Oakland... cant say I would ever want to live there. ? %50 chance I will rent a small place since that grants more flexibility. Though since I am not working yet I dont want to blow a lot of cash on rental prices either with nothing to show for it. Bah! edit: My niece likes having me around though to help her build things with her Legos. ?️
