I would be curious who your friend is, I'll bet it is someone who is now flying for JetBLue? ?!! and a previous airline pilot?
Whoa, almost sounds like me...good thing I don't have any Challenger experience! ;)

Thank God I bought my house in Irvine, CA 4 years ago. My wife and I now can't afford to leave or else we'd be forever priced out of the market. This will sound crazy to those that live in cheaper parts of the country, but my wife and I recently checked out some model homes for fun near our neighborhood (nothing special, typical 4 bedroom tract homes) Well they're still fetching 1.1 - 1.4 million. with a priority interest list several pages long! These houses don't even have a view, and are shoved into a tiny 5000 sq. foot lots. Property taxes alone on those homes would run you 20K a year!

We think about taking our equity and running, all the time. Only problem is I can't think of where else I could surf a few sets in the morning before heading off to the ski slopes. (I actually did this a few weeks ago with our early winter storm)

Hopefully prop 13 will never be repealled.
 
In SoCal you are not just buying real estate, you are buying lifestyle. Like the previous poster said, where else can you ski & surf the same day? Today I went for a run in shirstleeves, ate lunch in the back yard in the sun, and pitched BP to my 8-year-old in the afternoon. Try that most other parts of the country. There's a reason people are flocking to pay half a mil. for 1200 sq. foot bungalows. You will not spend very much time in the home anyway. It's an outdoor-centered lifestlye that's difficult to explain to someone reared in snow country. True it's not for everyone. For folks who want the 3.000 sq. ft. mansion back east, have at it and enjoy the home because come January you are going to be spending a lot of time there. I'll be on my patio eating tacos al carbon watching the oranges ripen and thinking about you all.

He he. Hah haha. HA HA HA HAHA AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Oh sorry man. I LIVE IN A MANSION! I never thought of it that way!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Pardon the sarcasm. It really just struck me as hilarious thinking my little home was a mansion! I must have gotten a steal at under $240K!

PS - as for the lifestyle. I'm 3 hours from the beach, 3 from the mountains, 20 minutes to the lake, 15 minutes to town. I golf year around. It'll snow one day and two days later be back in the 70s. I'd say thats pretty darn good!

In all seriousness, though I'm still chuckling at the thought of living in my mansion...

I won't speak for everyone, but I will apologize for jumping the gun in my rush to judgement that something wass amiss with Yum. I'll keep the big picture in sight before making a silly call as I did earlier in this post.

I remember talking to you a few years ago as you pursued your current position. Thanks for taking time to share with the rest of us the merits of your company.

Respectfully,
