Cheapest Places To Live In California

With the U.S. housing market showing signs of slowing, which, according to CNBC, is likely to continue through spring, the balance of power could be moving in favor of buyers instead of sellers. Despite an increase in the supply of homes nationally and in many individual markets, affordability issues remain. The problem is that, while housing inventory has increased, prices still haven’t come down enough. Still, 2019 seems to offer strong potential for finding affordable markets.

California, which seems to never be a not-hot as a real estate market, is showing signs of a slowdown as well. In Los Angeles, housing inventory is up year-over-year. In Jan. 2018, there were 5,371 homes for sale, according to Redfin. By Jan. 2019, that number had jumped to 6,738 total homes for sale. In San Jose, available inventory is significantly up from last year. Where in Jan. 2018, there were 328 total homes for sale, by January this year, the number has more than doubled to 769 homes for sale.

Read on to find out the cheapest places to live in California for 2019.

Amazon HQ2 talks reportedly narrow to Crystal City, Dallas and NYC

Amazon is reportedly getting close to finalizing the location of its $5 billion, 50,000-job second headquarters following a nationwide reverse-contest of sorts, wherein the tech company accepted bids and presentations from different city governments on why they should be the one to land Amazon HQ2. And now it appears that three locations are currently in the lead: Virginia’s Crystal City, Dallas and New York City. After speaking to people familiar with Amazon’s plans, The Wall Street Journal reported this weekend that the search for the second headquarters has narrowed from the 20 cities originally shortlisted as potential locations. Discussions around Denver, Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C. have cooled somewhat while Amazon’s team has been having more talks with representatives of the other three cities. Amazon’s impact on home affordability has been a major consideration, as the tech giant’s presence in Seattle has both created nume...

The Ultimate Guide To Family Law

Introduction The government has always had a fascination with families and the contract of marriage. State legislatures have passed many laws regulating the requirements for getting married and for obtaining a divorce. In addition, today’s laws also affect couples who live together outside of marriage. It is hard to give simple answers to many of the legal questions that a person may have about marriage, parenthood, separation, or divorce because the laws change and vary from one state to another. In addition, judges in different states with identical laws may decide cases with similar facts in different ways. This article describes the laws and court rulings common to most states. If you have other questions, please contact a lawyer in your state. You may also wish to contact a specialist. Many lawyers (particularly in urban areas) work only on family law or make it a large part of their general practice. Lawyers specializing in family law also may refer to themselves as specialist...

A tech millionaire wants to build a blockchain city in the desert

The desert in northwestern Nevada near Tesla’s Gigafactory is filled with sagebrush and dust, but if a cryptocurrency millionaire’s high-stakes gamble goes the way he wants the land will soon bloom into a full-blown city unlike any that has preceded it. The land includes 68,000 acres of desert near Reno. The man behind the plan is Jeffery Berns, 56, a lawyer and the founder of a company called Blockchains LLC. And the idea is to create an entirely new community, the size of a city, that is based entirely on blockchain — a kind of digital record keeping technology that is best known as the transaction ledger behind cryptocurrency Bitcoin . “We are building the world’s first smart city based on technology, from infrastructure all the way up,” Berns said Thursday in Prague during a launch event for the project. A moment later he added that, “It’s not so much a city as much as a series of different projects to highlight the power of a public blockchain.” The New York Times toured ...
