Homes like they used to. Too bad nimbys don't want to give their children the same chance at a good quality of life and instead we're stuck with ugly overpriced row homes with a postage stamp sized lot. Why do people hate sprawl so much?

You know, Secret Agent Bear, your repetitive, faux-lament shtick here, amusing for a while, is really become stale and old. You present your fiction like a broken vinyl record. Let's move on to new fun. Think up some other fake persona and start a new screen name to deliver fresh material. This droning on paints a very unflattering and uncreative picture of you.

To wrap up, note the sequence of quoted posts above.

1. You proposed that there are Californians who want - as in "desire" - "to live like third-world orphans".

2. CaliRestoration retorts he thinks that fits "1/3 of California" (wants to live like third world orphans).

3. I challenge the stupidity of such comment, based on the obvious truth that people don't "desire" to live like third-world orphans.

4. You come back and say "it's more than 1/3rd of the population living like someone in poverty"- which doesn't have anything to do with the "want" / "desire" part of the comments.

People are paying insane amounts of money to have a lifestyle they can't afford after rent. Theyre actively suffering.

And you are the chosen one to bring this message of suffering to the world? None of us would ever see the light were it not for the incessant droning of Secret Agent Perma Bear.

Apply yourself, man. Spine up! Get a new shtick.

People are too dense to see it. They think they're living some bohemian lifestyle and think they'll make the next big start up but really they're barely treading even in rent. It's a combination of romanticism and gold rush mentality.

I see. You feel you see what no one else is capable of seeing - and by repeating your mantra like a two-year-old pointing to the cookie jar he can't reach - well, at some point mommy or someone will dump Oreos on you to shut up your tantrum?

If people actually saw it they wouldn't blindly rush here and pay out the nose but they do anyway. Do you think it's smart to pay 5x in rent/mortgage for 1.3x the salary?

Have your cookies and milk and go to bed Agent Bear. Sweet dreams of your ascendant wisdom over humanity's ignorance.

You realize 2008 happened because no one saw fundamental flaws in the world right? I hope you're not serious

Roflmfao ... what makes you think "no one saw fundamental flaws"? Scores and scores of economists and politicians and investors and bankers saw what was coming - and said so. They weren't steering the ship. So it hit the iceberg. Ever stop to think it might have been an intentional crash?

Good night Agent Bear.
