After a 20 year study Berkeley scientists have determined that Native Americans were right.  Controlled burns create healthier forests and reduce air pollution.  Who would have guessed that?  In another 30 year study, the United Nations found that over the last 30 years sea level has only gone up 3 inches.  They then lied and said that is exactly what their models predicted.  (They have been predicting at least 1 foot of sea level rise every 10 years through 2050).  The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates and 30 year mortgage interest rates went slightly higher.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

In an imaginary California where there are no building codes, no permit fees and no inspections, would consumers buy a house built to 1992 building standards?  The cost of building the home would be approximately 50% of today's cost to build.  Did the seditious six Senators conspire with a Foreign Pysch Ops contractor to produce the videos encouraging our military to disobey orders from their commanding officers?  Who paid for the videos and the hundreds of billboards with a similar message placed around military bases throughout the US concurrently with the video?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

What are you thankful for?  The first Thanksgiving was to celebrate every gift God has given us.  The Pilgrims celebrated the right to worship freely.  William Bradford tried socialism the first year of their arrival in America and found that many chose to not work if they had to share their food and belongings equally.  It nearly destroyed the colony.  The result was the beginning of American capitalism.  Each pilgrim was no responsible to grow their own food and care for themselves.  The colony flourished.  Apparently our children are no longer taught this in school.  They are taught that socialism is the fairest form of government and that capitalism is evil.  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate. 

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.? If we turned out 90% of registered Republican voters in California we would defeat proposition 50.  My guess is we will be lucky to see a 55% Republican turnout.  Conservatives need to prove me wrong.   We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

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.

What does living in a communist nation look like?  Can conservatives in the valley change the outcome of the "special election" in November.  Is there a solution to homelessness?  What legislation has passed in California this year and how will it effect you?  We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk.  Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
