Hard to find decent houses near Seattle for less than that anymore as well, so yeah.
You can find housing for 500k in Cali, but not near the main cities and/or not places most would think are good neighborhoods.

Thanks for proving my point.

We absolutely don't. That's the beauty of it. We have a 2300 sq foot remodeled colonial on a cul-de-sac with a large fenced in back yard for our dog, and we aren't house-poor whatsoever. Our house would cost $1.5mm+ in LA, and for what?

But by living in Ohio do you still get the cool ass benefits of being FORCED to pay for the healthcare of illegal aliens while drinking your neighbors recycled turd water? Because if you don't then you just aren't living life.

I doubt very much that, that same house would cost a person "$1.5mm in Los Angeles!!!

Sure, if your point was the LA lifestyle isn't for lower/middle income folks. Stick to the places where your income gives you the lifestyle that best fits you.

LOL oh really? Because otherwise kids would just be flocking to go play for a just decent head coach? Fact is, Stanford is a nice program but hardly elite. Yeah, top 20 is solid. That puts your class in the top 15% of all FBS teams. Stanford has Harbaugh to thank for that. Again, there is nothing at all that suggests Stanford's academic standards are costing them all these big-time recruits, and clearly they've pulled in a solid amount of 4/5* kids in recent years. For a program that was a constant doormat just a decade ago, that's definitely solid.

The fact that every Stanford football player could most likely get accepted to OHio State (academically) and probably only a couple of Ohio State players could get accepted into Stanford (academically) makes your argument pure BS. They can't take every 4 or 5 star like Ohio State can. So even if a 4- 5 star wants t go to Stanford the odds are he can't get in. I grew up in So Cal and went to a college prep (Cathedral) with friends and their kids having gone to Loyola and St. John Bosco and Mater Dei and St Francis where kids actually have to do school to stay there and it's well known that it's hella hard to get accepted to Stanford ( and Notre Dame) even as an athlete. They recruit so cal catholic schools big time but also have to go across the country to find enough players who can qualify. Lucky for them there are kids and parents who value the Stanford degree and choose to go there but stop acting like it's easy for them to put a good class together.

As shitty as those cities are they don't suffer from Bubonic plague infested rats. That's an LA thing.

Are you sure there are no "Bubonic plague infested rats", in Tacoma or Seattle Washington?

This is one myth that should be squashed. Stanford is hard as hell to get in without a scholarship, no question it is the preeminent University in the country that isn’t in the Ivy League, but we cannot pretend that athletes at Ohio State wouldn’t get into Stanford. Both No Cal schools are nationally respected universities that have accepted athletes that Ivy League schools would’ve laughed at their applications.

And yet, they still pull in quality classes. Nothing you just said proves your point. Their academic restrictions do not cause them to have to suffer on the recruiting trail. They pull in top 20 classes despite not being a very strong football program historically for the most part.

LOL

The "LA lifestyle" is hollow and pathetic. It isn't about what you can afford, it's about spending your money smartly. Why the hell would anyone in their right mind want to blow their money on a 500 sq ft coat closet in LA because "ohh pretty beaches"? There is a reason people are leaving CA. It's a remarkably overpriced shithole.
