Buying a house is expensive, but there are a lot of advantages. Other than the tax benefits, there is also the advantage of having your home paid for at some point. Real estate typically appreciates over time. When you retire you can always sell your home and buy an RV or live in an apartment. If you buy at the right time, you could have a decent retirement.

Areas of OC are sinking like certain areas in every county.

check out San Luis Obispo, a great area, and Paso Robles

Yes it is "San Luis Obispo". Visited Morro Bay and surrounding area in August, very impressive. On my list for Semi-Retirement.
