get it while it's easy
we are closing on a property in the area in a few days (southeast of auburn). yeah - insurance is high, but we had no trouble getting it (found a great broker). if you want contact info for him - PM me.
It's always a lot higher in the areas that are less populated.What's the MAGA population like up there?
Gosh is there any land left in and around Grass Valley anymore? It just really seems filled up. Because the lots are bigger, you cant say dense but the traffic sure is dense. I hate the heat up thar in the summer. There are large areas of very hot zones on rusty red soil that just ain't that attractive. I love to visit Nevada City but it's probably out of reach. Tons of Bay Area peeps up there.
I wouldn't live in Cloverdale if you paid me. You see, I did live in Cloverdale in the 70s. Nothing but bad memories. There were Satanists up at the Preston place, Florida hippies in those days. But, its way better since freeway bypass I would imagine. Everyone I knew from there moved away, that's how great it was. Some very troubled young people up there when I was around. It's almost like a little piece of Lake County but prettier. I'd rather live with the hippies in Forestville or something than that noise. Healdsburg got ruined by the wealthy. It was a sleepy Mexican town when I was little, with the bigger farm and ranch owners on the outskirts. The Aven theater only showed movies in Spanish! :afm199:afm199:afm199 If you don't commute, Hopland might be interesting, I dunno. Still too damn hot. A person might be able to get something in Geyserville? Freeway noise but it's kind of cool location wise.
Back south, they took the feedstore in Alexander Valley and made it into a high price sandwich shop. We used to buy hay, and get sodas from the cooler. Now, the Alexander Valley is like the frickin south of France. Anything within two hours of SFO is pretty much out of reach price-wise to retire to...Pretty sad.
Probably the only hope of it ever being affordable is that all of it is in danger of getting incinerated every year or we lose our Tech Hub thing.
I am laughing of course. Do what you want...
Curious to your opinion of Potter Valley???

Politics is mainly all about the urban areas versus the rural areas.

Yeah, in some areas of CA, it's those from the SF Bay area versus those who lived in the rural area for a long time. Best to not talk politics with perhaps most people when out of the area you're from. At least until you know them well.Shingletown has a lot of MAGAs and State of Jefferson types. Just don't talk politics or religion and people look out for each other up here. In fact I just bought a cord of wood from my Trumper neighbor. He even stacked it in the shed for us.
Mad
FTFY :laughingBest to not talk politics withperhapsmost people.

I am more of the opposite, not private at all unless I need to be for a good reason. But I have been widowed for a few years, now all alone, so I enjoy talking to others.We are VERY private, keep-to-ourselves people. Even living in Walnut Creek all these years, my wife and I have pretty much no social life (mostly by choice).
I don't talk politics, or really anything, with anyone other than family. I'm certainly not the kind of person to strike up a conversation with a stranger. People have been telling us for years that we seem the type that would enjoy the solitude of living in the mountains... but I've never lived anywhere else. As my brother (who's very social) say's about us, "you don't participate in most of the things that make the Bay Area so expensive, so why stay and subject yourselves to all the negatives?"
This song is for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3jiXa06-R0 :coolThat also means the lefties see me as a RWNJ and the more conservative people see me as a lefty.
Yep! Thanks for that. The average today are the people on either extreme!This song is for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3jiXa06-R0 :cool
If you have 800K$ cash to spend, not much is out of your price range, especially if you will consider financing. 800K$ will make a down payment on house price of four million bucks, if you can handle the monthly payments.Just a bit out of my price range.

Notice my increase of motorcycles after 2016 . . . When I bought my house in Auburn, CA!

Yes, and they all run like new (or a lot better than new, such as my 1971 BMW R75/5 as it has several performance mods).Do you still own all those bikes? Curious because my current fleet should probably be culled.
Just a bit out of my price range.
