When you can buy $400,000 brand new big house with 7 bedrooms and 3 baths in Mississippi?
Why people wanna work 2 jobs in California to pay off
the small ugly house there?
Do they live there because of celebrities?

Leaving aside the more pleasant climate and the diversity of job opportunities, the reason California real estate is more expensive than Mississippi is that more people want to live there and they make more money.
See the US census numbers cited: California is 13th and Mississippi is 49th in personal income.
I can also tell you that there is little to no chance that the house in Malibu or Santa Barbara will ever be selling for less than a much larger mansion in Mississippi unless the Pacific Ocean moves!

Well let's see; California has earthwakes, and mudslides Miss has hurricanes, floods and lots of humidity (mold) so we're pretty even on the weather issues But Jobs and money well that's another story. It takes money to make money and unfortunately Miss just doesnt have the jobs with the kind of money that Cal has I think that's supply and demand economics. I'll bet you that if you go to certain parts of Miss where the rich and famous live you'll find comparable costs to housing as Cal

one of my family members has a house in hollywood, 3 bed and two bath, built in like 1938, that cost $300,000. The catch is that it's on Melrose Place. Location is everything.

First of all, if you live in California it makes you hip.
Second of all, if you live in California you become enlightened because you learn gay tolerance and get to use special flame resistant fabric!

I have a buddy who lives out there who is from Dallas. He wants to be out there to be by the beach and is willing to pay the extra so he has it. I think its rediculous, but to each his own.
