But Politics.
They absolutely know they can count on the youth vote, regardless.
They also know they can count on a lot of boomer votes, for various touchy-feely platforms. But try to take the boomer's house away, and you'll have Don back in '24.

Really it's more when you bought your house and how close you are to retirement. You'll get there too eventually. I sure couldn't afford much of a house in CA until after age 40.

not at all. I simply don’t want you paying a third of the taxes your neighbor pays on an identical home.

I guess I am in the minority here. I love Florida and hate California. San Diego is probably my favorite part but even the fish tacos at Miguel's Cocina can't make up for the yearly fires, constant threat of earthquakes, and impossible traffic. In Florida the RE taxes are reasonable and you take 25% right off the top once you homestead. No state income tax. Same warmth, albeit with a bit more humidity. Clearly better beaches (particularly on the gulf side). And warmer water. In Pasadena, for example you can get a fifty year old house with about 3,000 sq. ft. for 1.8 million in a good area. In Tampa for 1.8 million you can buy dockable waterfront and have enough left over for the boat at the dock.

If they want to live in woke-land and pay stupid prices, let them.
