Governor Newsom is buying billboards in other states promoting California as the “Sanctuary State” for abortions.  Come one come all the state will pay for it.  Legislation on his desk will allow non-custodial parents, relatives or close friends to kidnap gender curious children and take them across state lines to California where they can’t be extradited by their parents.  The left is celebrating this as “freedom of choice”.  Interest rates continue to slow the real estate markets.  San Francisco commercial real estate is on the verge a giant crash and more than 50% of those surveyed in San Francisco want to move out in the next two years.  Is this the California you want?  We discuss all of this and more on this week’s Real Talk. Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

California Air Resource Board has ruled that no more gas powered cars can be sold in California by 2035.  That by 2026 35% of all vehicles must be electric.  Our electric grid is already strained with rolling blackouts in the summers.  Can we double our grid capacity in 12 years?  How will that effect housing?  30 year interest rates are no closer to 6% than 5.5%.  Are move up buyers now choosing to wait to sell their homes and not move up?  We discuss all of this and more on this week’s Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
