We are in an area that is booming and will continue to boom while other states will/have start coming down.
Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and other red states are seeing an influx of people that are moving out of blue states like California, NY, New Jersey, and others. Another reason we are going n good shape is that the prices of our homes are a bargain for people leaving NY and California, and when the housing market starts crashing, it will hit those states 1st. The west is already starting to see home inventories building which means it’s going to be a buyers market/lower prices.

The smartest gov in the country, newsom, just signed a housing bill which allows multiple homes to be built on a single family lot. That should help the situation in ca, zoning gets thrown out the window. His thank you to the people who kept him in office.

Check your California bashing at the door and check the actual facts. California is booming. Running budget surpluses and returning tax money to the taxpayers. But, affordable housing simple does not exist near the major urban centers. Something needed to be done, and his move to impact zoning is a good first step. I don't think you'll see concrete tenements going up in the suburbs any time soon

California is not "booming". It has one of the highest unemployment and poverty rates in the country. Changing zoning at a state level is not something a governor should do and if he was really serious about improving housing stock he'd reduce state regulations, taxes and fees for new construction or any type of development which are among the highest in the nation.

If you think so highly of California, why did you leave and move to Florida, of all places? You should have stayed to enjoy all the benefits and bounty the Golden State has to offer (such as clean, well-run cities!) while reveling in Newsom's glorious triumph (paid for by special interests).

If builders can get the supplies they will overbuild and housing prices will go down. I spent forty years in the building supply manufacturing business and saw this happen numerous times. In 2001 this Country built almost 1.6 million new homes. Sheet rock, bricks, insulation, shingles and numerous other materials were in short supply and even on allocation to contractors. In 2008 the Country built half that many due to over supply.

And in 2011 The Villages sold 11% of all new homes sold in the entire country! Unique market here.

"But Ferrigno, for all his impeccable connections, has become fed up with what he describes as the 'dramatic decline' in LA. He and wife Carla recently sold their £3 million home in Santa Monica and moved into a 7,146 sq ft mansion two hours north of LA.

Carla says: 'One morning around 7am I opened the curtains in our beautiful Santa Monica home and looking up at me from our driveway were three gang members with tattoos on their faces sitting on our retaining wall. They were cat-calling me and being vulgar. I motioned I was going to call the police and they just laughed, flicking their tongues at me and showing me their guns.'

Her husband added: 'We put the house up for sale after 40 wonderful years and moved north. We feel lucky to have made it out. Now we are in a wonderful place and very happy.'"

Remember the Morse Syndicate tried the same here. Called apartments and homes south of 44 are getting closer together.
