No, though dependent upon the age of the "kid". Yes to the second and yes to the third. Of the latter I have yet to meet a transplant (typically retirees) that was not conservative and left California for that reason. Last summer a family bought those five acres I mention above to get out of California. He is a recently retired corrections officer from Folsom Prison. I kid you not, the first thing he did with his property was install an American flag. Nicest family and a guy I would not want to see angry.
Hard copy...
So the average 21 year old in Idaho has $655k to spend on a starter home. Very cool.
