Cam Good is an utter disgrace. His idea to solve the affordability problem is, as far as I can infer, to promote people in the real estate industry. Singling out Chinese immigrants is unfortunate.
There are going to be more and more calls for protectionist controls on real estate investments as time goes on. Cam Good just confirmed it. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
“build your dream home on this level 33′ x 122′ lot…”
“Dream home” and “33′ x 122′ lot” shouldn’t be used in one sentence!
Why not?
Does a “Dream Home” have to be a 50,000sf home?
What’s wrong with living small and enjoying?
There is nothing wrong with living small and enjoying. A home is a home. But when someone says “dream home” I assume that he is not talking about a plywood shack on a narrow city lot.
“What’s wrong with living small and enjoying?”
Nothing. Except 1.5 million
How many years will you have to work to make that kind of money? Not even counting the interest.
If you are buying just because you think the price is going to go up forever then you are gambling. So much for living small and enjoying.
Precisely the distorted BS that is driving the RE prices in this good for nothing city.
you don’t have to live on the westside. That like saying, “Bishop’s charges 150.00 for a dinner for two people how am I ever going to afford to eat out anywhere”?
Cam Good reminds me of the local Africans who slave traders hired to round up and trap unfortunate tribe.
There are always locals who are willing to profit from selling out their countrymen.
