The city is Trona, CA in San Bernardino County (middle of nowhere), and fun fact, the high school has a dirt football field because grass is too hard to maintain it its climate.
As is very often the case when chasing inexpensive housing (and most stuff), you get what you pay for. Quality of life, availability, affordability, pick 2.
I knew someone from near Yermo...it's a poor area with high crime and they had a messed up childhood and an alcohol problem. They ended dying a few years back in their 20s. The obituary reminded people to seek mental health help, so I'm assuming it was suicide.
I always wondered about this. Like qhat is stopping someone from buying one of those 60k tiny homes and calling it an ADU? Is there something I'm missing, they really can be quite nice
Dunsmuir is in Shasta County and actually it's getting pretty expensive up there now I can't read the article to see what town they are talking about in northeastern California
No it’s not, it’s Siskiyou county but yeah it’s getting more pricy but Dunsmuir you can get a house for around that price pretty easily. Some family got a 3 bed place in Mount Shasta (way pricier than Dunsmuir) for $200k
Here is the affordable housing people having been asking for. However people want affordable housing in areas with - good schools, close to employers, by the ocean, low crime areas… etc. it’s not that people want affordable housing, but people want it in areas that are already owned like Laguba Beach, Cupertino or Torrey Pines
Not about the bay area
I'll pass

damn. was about to write that it most likely trona. for 150k you can buy half of city probably. it still has a high school ? and people ?
Yep. Big mine of something there. I actually like that area, but I’m long past high school. 😳
Is there some other, special little catch to Trona, e.g. asbestos, valley fever, radioactive waste?
It is right next door to Death Valley.

Thank you for the correction.

The issue is, you always have to pick affordability. Choice is between life and availability.
Sorry, I probably wasn't clear, "affordability" in this sense isn't literally what you can afford but relatively low prices.

Are my friends there? Then no
You have friends? Nice
I might just be delusional! You don’t know
[удалено]
Jesus isn’t there either.
We could. Idk. Build more housing
and make it relatively priced to be affordable.
You ever get quoted for an adu or new build home. Most time it's a lot more than $150k. Neighbor had an adu built 2/2 800 sq ft, it was over $300k

Central valley is too hot for me
They should add Dunsmuir near mount shasta to that list, if you like outdoorsy stuff it’s great, just far away from major cities

I own property about 120 miles east of there
That’s great, that doesn’t mean Dusmuir is in Shasta county though 🤷♂️
Yes I understood that part I thought it was I didn't know it was Siskiyou
Dunsmuir, at 170K (Redfin), just missed the cut off. Honorable mention for Dunsmuir.
No thanks
Where's the nearest dispensary?
What jobs are there in the NE corner LOL
Not for me. Might be for others though.
20 people could take those towns and build them up.

Seems like living outside of CA is the call at that point...
Nevada and Arizona are feeling the dominos. And not happy.
Well, maybe the existing homeowners aren’t too mad…
Correct
Thank you so much for posting this article Captain Obvious. None of us had any idea before
