California is one of the states with "exchanges" and huge numbers of illegal immigrants, etc. that will affect the market so, best to wait and see how.

Hello BP Family,After contemplating for a few minutes the type of impression I wanted to make with my introduction I simply realize that if this community truly was going to become a part of my family I should be transparent from the start.After immigrating from Mexicali,  Baja California in Northern Mexico I dedicated all of my effort to school which earned me a place at UC Berkeley for my college career.

Are there policies of the various candidates (and/or parties) that may pose more of a threat than others to REI in general, i.e. immigration/amnesty/deportation, minimum wage increases, etc?  

Most of the people I help find rent are potential high quality tenants, newlyweds or new immigrants from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova and other European countries.

Especially in states like California known to ignore federal law (marijuana and immigration are two examples) and they will side in favor or the tenant when something goes wrong. 

(I typically have a rule that if I'm not willing to live there, I don't want to buy there.)As a comparison, I live in a "sketchy" neighborhood called Little Village in Chicago that most people are wary of, but it's mostly immigrant families and pretty quiet as long as I don't join a gang any time soon.

A lot of that demand is from the continued immigration to these areas.

After living in Marlborough, it's not as "scary" as people make it out to be, and our street demographics were about 50% retired blue-collar folks who were often original owners (40 yrs +), and most people moving into the neighbourhood were younger immigrant families, usually with kids, typically as renters.

Prop #11 on Immigrant RightsShould there be a just and fair comprehensive immigration reform solution that includes an earned path to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants and their children, keeps families together, protects DREAMers, and provides workforce solutions for businesses?

Political pressure to stagnate immigration in order to "save" US jobs.
