Californias average home cost is almost $700,000. It’s going from San Diego to San Francisco……. To extremely densely populated cities. That’s Over double the national average for a home. Now the spaces in between big cities in the prairie are extremely cheap.

Perhaps, however It’s also so darn expensive because they need to build bridges and under/over passes over every road and highway through the city. I bet if there’s a budget breakdown, that’s 80%+ of the budget.
