From a Californian–
I can’t exactly shame some of the people for being a bit tickled by wanting to watch certain individual’s homes float by, but I certainly would not wish that on anyone. You would think it would be obvious to most anyone that if you buy a home on the edge of a hillside or just minutes from a river, lake, ocean, whatever…. then one would have to expect that there may be a chance of it getting washed away in the event of a great rain season.

Just like the people out here living right on the beach and then they want to cry when their houses get flooded. Sad yes, but come on…you put yourself at risk by doing that. I of course would not wish harm to anyone or any unnecessary grief, but people really need to think before they act. Part of society’s problem is they have the mentallity “it won’t happen to me”.

Oh yeah, not to mention the fact that the top places to live out here…who can afford to live there? I would like to live in some of those places but on a social worker’s and a teacher’s income, well I guess we just aren’t rich enough. I like the fact that we wouldn’t have to worry about earthquakes in Idaho.

Ever drive in rush hour traffic here in Southern Cali?? If you did then you would know why the smart people want to get out. People our here are crazy and stressed out. We may be out there next if we’re lucky. Also if you go anywhere out here you have to deal with elbow to elbow people and they’re so rude anymore.

Well now, a 2000 sqft house in San Jose costs around $700k. Let’s just say it’s a combination of reasons. Quality of life can also mean not having to kill yourself working to pay the mortgage, not just whether or not your likely to get burglarized.
