: It’s no secret that housing prices in southern California are notoriously, insanely high. Attribute it to the weather, the scenery, the fruits and nuts. The following gallery shows a house for sale in Venice, CA where I currently call home, and another house for sale in Fort Wayne, IN where I was proudly born and raised. Both properties have similar sale prices around $1.4 million. I’d like to propose a new design for the California state flag with a picture of a person wearing clown shoes bent over and grabbing their ankles.

: For sale for $1,500,000

These guys can't afford houses like this (or a studio apartment), so they illegally squat in a treehouse on a Bel-Air property. Why? To become famous on Youtube. Check out the pitch here:

That house in SoCal still has a decent sized lot size by the looks of it. I live in Vancouver, BC and a standard lot size according to the city is 28×110 feet. A more or less empty lot, sans house easily goes for over $700,000 and that is not even in the more high end areas like SoCal. Even in the "worst" (mind you it's far from ghetto or projects) areas new houses under 2000 sq-ft go for a million easily. The housing market in Vancouver is absolutely FUBAR.

I live in socal too and was also born and raised in middle america. My homestate has its own unique beauty but I am willing to pay more for an outdoor escape than an indoor one.

You couldn't pay me 1.3mil to live in the liberal infested state of California.. Ugh

What this is, is proof that in the midwest you get what you pay for and in SoCal you sort of…don't. Midwestern weather doesn't bother me much (summer here kind of sucks though, damn humidity) and there are way to many people in California, espcially the enviro-hippies. If I could live anywhere it would be somewhere in Wyoming, where people are like, "people? What is this "people" that you speak of? We don't have people out here."

I'm from the Midwest and I live in L.A. I love it out here for many reasons. I don't see myself ever moving back. To each his own though.

I live in Massachusetts where we pay insane home/gas prices for "meh" homes, and insane taxes on everything like California does, only we don't get the nice weather perk like Cali does. We get snow and dbag jerks.
