The housing market in America's most expensive cities is imploding

Yep! I bought this $#!thole with the original plan of bringing it * just * up to code and selling it to move up and out, but then the bubble burst. Boo-hoo, I had to live in house so small, my winter heating bill is in the high…double-digits. Now, it’s worth 2 & 1/2 times more than it was right before the last crash, and I’ve been upgrading way past * just * up to code. The market price is just an academic argument until I actually sell, which, now that I have good windows and a tiled bathroom, might be never.

The neighborhood is improving as the worst residents inherit their parents’ house they never moved out of and sell for it for quick weed money.
