My husband is a gun owner and no one has come to the door trying to take his guns away yet. Our sales tax here is 8%, in Reno it was 7.75%. Gas is cheaper than in Reno because of the transit tax they add to it.

I'm not putting down Reno, or trying to talk people into moving to California (we have more than enough people) but your dystopian view of California is over the top.

I beg to differ as you are in the minority here and actually the only one I have heard of this.

What specifically do you disagree with?

Traffic gridlock, long lines wherever you go, no parking high home prices, torn up roads and all kinds of taxes. When did you buy your house in Sac?

Two years ago, but I'm not experiencing all the issues you just listed, and as far as taxes- there are taxes anywhere you live, quit fooling yourself about that, it's just that different Cities and States tax different things, for instance Reno has higher property tax than California but there is no income tax in Nevada, that would make Reno advantageous to someone with taxable income but not so much for a retiree.

I know. I can see that you don't get out often.

You need to get out more often to experience all of those issues. Staying home anywhere you live is pure isolation. Solitary confinement.

Here is a quick update.

All Reno/Sparks ...... $322,500 / 1049 total / 163 in [$200-250k] / 0.18 acre / year 1998 / 1872 square feet

In Reno/Sparks there were 1049 sales in the 60 day period I pulled today and 163 of those sales were in the $200k-$250k price range. The median sale price was $322,500, median lot size of sold homes was 0.18 acre, median year built 1998, and median house size was 1872 square feet.

The median price in Reno/Sparks went up 4% since my last post in October, but the median square footage this round is higher as well.
