If citizens are too busy to show up for public hearings and to give input about the growth and improvements in their neighborhoods the government will follow the paid activist who do show up.  Environmentalist are upset that Fresno and Clovis are planning on how to annex 9,000 acres allowing 45,000 more homes and businesses over the next 50 years.  At a 2% growth rate Fresno/Clovis (They are growing at 3%) will add over 600,000 new residents over the next 26 years.  Where do they expect them to live?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.  

Would a 50 year mortgage make housing more affordable?  If the building code allowed it, would home buyers choose a 3 bedroom one bathroom house, with a carport, a wall heater and evaporative cooling.  No fire sprinklers.  Nominal insulation and priced at under $180,000 on a  6,000 square foot lot?  Newsom claims that California is the at the forefront of the damage caused by climate change as evidenced by the worst economic fire in history which hit California in "winter".  An "atmospheric river" is hitting the state this weekend.  More proof according to Newsom of climate change.   We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

If you don't vote don't complain about bad governance.  Less than 30% of registered Republicans voted on election day in California.  A 75% turnout would have flipped the passage of Proposition 50.  The list of government failures resulting in the loss of over 8,000 homes in the Palisades fire continues to grow.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

What percentage of registered Republicans will vote in this special election.?

Crime in San Francisco isn't really crime.  It is just some social issues, drug addiction, mental illness, petty theft and homeless people just being themselves.  Several Supreme Court cases are coming soon.  Who did the "No Kings" protestors attract to the Democrat party?   We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

One of the primary duties of government is to help prevent and fight fires.  The more we know about the Los Angeles fires which caused the loss of more than 12,000 homes the more we realize how inept the entire Los Angeles DEI leadership was and is.  Fresno Land in a story this week also exposed how the US Forest Service refused to allow a controlled burn last year which would have prevented the tragic loss of our ancient redwoods in the Garnet fire.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended because of a lack of audience and poor judgement.  Good riddance.  The left doubles down on the rising sea level claim after a Dutch study of 150,000 locations around the world over a 125 year period reveals that there is no increase in the gradual rise of the seas.  There are now more than 400 bills on Newsom's desk.  Which ones will he sign?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
