Unreal Estate Game: Northern California
Assume that you idly buy a state lottery ticket while getting a doughnut at 7/11, and voila! You're a winner! You win your choice of one the five houses that will be shown.
I'll give you five houses in a state, and you vote on the house you would take. Background rules: Assume that your job situation won't need to change - you can find an identical job or work from home or whatever, so jobs don't matter. Consider the house itself and the location and anything else that's important to you (schools, restaurants, lot size, etc.). Feel free to do a google map search to check out the neighborhood and the area. You cannot sell the home. You can live in it as long as you like, but when you move out, it reverts back to the state as a prize for a future winner. All houses will generally be in the $900,000 to $1 million price range. All maintenance and utilities and taxes are cost-neutral compared to your current home. If you wouldn't move into any of these homes, you can instead accept a cash prize of $50,000 (tax free). Today's state is the northern half of California. Here are your five houses: Carmel - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...3_M10767-01203 Crescent City - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...ex=CA597543812 Napa - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...8_M21949-62320 Sacramento - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...7_M22677-62516 San Francisco - http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...1_M20748-17593 |

Napa.
I think living in SF would be cool, but that apartment shit would get old really fast.

Hmmm..
Living in the redwoods would definitely be interesting. Downtown San Fran would be nice as well. I also like the unique build of the Sacramento home, but it would need a motif overhaul for sure. I'll sayyyyyy..... Sacramento but kinda meh on the choice. |

This is actually one of the bigger surprises to me so far. I didn't expect San Francisco to win.

Living in central California and visiting Northern California a lot with the mrs, I had higher hopes for some of the homes that would be available. I'm not really blown away by any of them the way I have been with some of the other locations.

This is the only one so far that I've picked the $50k.

Probably either Napa or Sacramento, but I'm leaning 50K here. It's been crazy to see the difference of what a million bucks gets you between states. |

Plus, I'm really liking these threads, but I think they are really starting to depress me as well, haha.

I live close to Crescent City. If you want to get away from society, that place would be a great choice!

From these options I think I would have to take the $50k. Carmel has a lot going for it outside the house but that house does not do it for me.

By the end of this extravaganza, I will have at least $1 million by voting (d) everytime, then I can move just about wherever my little heart desires.

I've spent a lot of time in the south and very little in the north, so maybe my assessment isn't fair, but I kind of agree. Plus, I spent every minute in the north part scouting out doorways to stand in during the inevitable 10.0 earthquake that was going to happen any minute.
