I've been sending people to a Realtor/property manager in Sacramento.

I'm hoping things move a little more quickly once things go vertical as I heard getting slab poured is the longest wait but I'm assuming there is a labor/material shortage in general in the area so wasn't sure of people's timelines once slab has been poured?

In 2025, it is projected at 11.119 deaths per 1,000 people, up from 11.026 in 2024.

Wholly agree, we're trying to help people.
