Even without the politics/nimbyism I am trying to imaging a realistic scenario where housing prices go down and stay down in California, but I just can't.


Can you imagine one where wages go up instead to compensate?


It seems that the price of housing is directly related to how much people can afford to pay, meaning that increases in wages won't remediate housing cost increases, but contribute to them directly and indirectly.


Nah, this is why you can make $180k in CA and still feel poor cause you are competing with everyone around you in a zero sum game (real estate).
