Sorry, Jimmy--I wasn't trying to offend you or anyone. I just felt like ranting about a growing problem that I experience here in Tucson as I look to move to Puna.
I actually enjoy California and have met many great people from there. I am, however, disgusted at the greed that some people decided to impose on the city of Tucson.
I bought a home here a few years ago for $165,000 and because of the new "gold rush" a lot of Californians saw Arizona as the closest place to buy up homes. 6 months after my purchase, because of the housing shortage caused by everyone rushing in, I could've sold my home for $290,000!!
I just don't want to see that happen in Puna, that's all.
Aloha and I hope you get to realize your dream!!
