I bought a house last week and am selling a house next week, but I don't know how many doors I have today, unless I effort a count. 

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Until thousands of acres are burnt all over again.I dont think CA have 3,427 miles of coast line unless your counting every little inlet and the entire SF bay etc etc.. more like 1200 miles. in a straight line. 

you are right on both counts - it is saturated and there is tremendous demand within all asset classes / niches, AND real estate is constantly changing hands and there are still deals out there.
