@dulwich   I can imagine how bad the smoke must be in California because we have it daily all the way here in Albuquerque.  Some days you can scarcely see the mountains which are right on the edge of town.

We were so lucky to get the rain up north.  We have had fog lately, but the smoke seems more under control.  Still have people camping out at shelters.

 

Hope your area stays safe, you have had quite a time.

@dulwich I was thinking of you this week, good to hear from you. Glad you are prepped "just in case". Be safe and take care.

It still amazes me that with all the problems CA has, real estate prices have not come down and people still want to move there.

Just curious: unless one is a millionaire, how can anyone afford to live in California?

Depends on where in California you live. For example, in many towns and cities in central California, houses run from $300,00 and up brand new. Move these houses to the coast or just slightly inland and they'll cost at least 3-4 times as much.

 

I'm slightly inland. The house I bought 35 years ago for $225,000 is now worth over $1 million.
