Thoughts of California are often accompanied by visions of endlessly warm weather, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, and ocean waves crashing alongside sandy beaches. California is truly the Golden State of the United States. Driving north from the Mexican border, you will be in awe of the changing scenery of beaches, mountaintops, deserts, and grassy meadows. California’s natural beauty is as diverse as the people living in it.

    Living under the freeway is the cheapest and best place! I mean, everyone is doing it, so it must be good, right?

    The average income is 92,000.00 in Rancho Cucamonga, 32,000.00 Coachella. And so on in other places, I live on SSDI I can't even afford to rent an apartment, and this is after working for 26 years in the Banking Industry. Fortunately I own a small mobile home and pay space rent. I don't know who made up this list but they are wrong.

  • If you find a house in Ontario in mid 500 I will give you a million bucks or even a Rancho Cucamonga in mid 600 I'll give you 2 million for that
  • There are no affordable places to live in California, anywhere you go, whether in the ghettos or affluent neighborhoods, they are expensive. California’s housing is sky rocketing high. 😊

    What you save in housing, you make up in utility bills. Especially living in the middle of the desert…
  • California is very expensive! Especially the rental Apts. houses etc. and foods
