I like to play and watch just about all sports, and in my free time hang out with my 4 month old daughter!

Add to that the allure of California, great economy in so cal, the ocean, amusement parks, medical centers, high tech, manufacturing, entertainment, recreation, sports teams, universities, etc., and it all creates a strong demand for housing and commercial space. 

A lot of big players pay 82-83% in California or more if they like to gamble.  

Still yet, a gamble, no doubt.

The brand also comes with certain features that are inherited like good schools or shopping.TWO: livestyle - if you drive a sports car you are "fast & succesful" if you drive a big expensive SUV you are "tough and successful" and you haul arround marine engines and logs of timber all the time LOL.

You guys have been making some noise in the sports world lately.

For instance if someone knows that there is a development planned for a couple years out that will severely increase the value of their property they are willing to take an educated gamble. 

I think there are plans for a sports center (you can walk to). 

The ice cream wasn't available in any local grocery store, but Blue Bell Creamery delivered it to my local store and I filled the basket with ice cream toppings.When a recent guest requested wheel chair friendly activities for her teenage daughter, that was somewhat challenging since most of the outdoor activities in the area involve hiking and water sports.

But for one, you're speculating (gambling) and in LA the properties would have to appreciate to freakish levels to let you retire.
