In 1964 tuition at U.C. (including Berkeley) was $110 per semester ($220 per year).

How we managed to buy a home(s) and live in So Cal......
First: Bought our first home at age 23 in a Barrio in Orange. Had 3 of our 4 kids there. Best experience ever. We were the only non-Hispanics. $2000 down payment.
Second: Sold the home 5 years later (after we'd fixed it up)and used the profit to buy a larger home, again in Orange, CA.
Third: Lived there 6 years and bought a home in rural San Diego on 2.5 acres.
It was a huge stretch. We couldn't really afford the SD home, so we cut back big time in many areas of life style. For example: we came home once and our brother (in law) was waiting for us in our home. He pointed out the ice on the kitchen window. We told him propane was expensive.
Bottom line: California as a state is a wonderful, eclectic piece of real estate that is unmatched in my opinion. I've thought this through plenty, trust me. I could move anywhere, but this will remain my base.
Politics have screwed this state up financially and I'm sorry for that. Gave it a huge effort at one point to turn this around but I'm out of it now. People expect stuff for free.....nothings free. But I love this state and the incredible beauty it gives us.
PS And when you sneak off to enjoy it, it costs nothing. Just leave no trace, please. Cheers, lynnie

DMT, I know you think I'm a dumbass, but look at the realities of what is....reality.
Kids indoctrinated with Gay Crap early on.
Religion is stupid and misguided. Avoid it!
Diversity is ALWAYS good, bilingual educational studies. You're racist if you disagee.
Men are stupid. They need to be ruled by women and children. (Watch current TV commercials).
The US Miltary hates people. This is everywhere.
The Communist Manifesto is in effect. Actively! Read it. Also read the Venona Papers, the communist plan to accomplish what they are doing now.

You're quite practiced at being a DICK, blue guy. Lighten up, stupid.

Bluering was voted most likely to have an aneurysm in Highschool. Damn, dude, what's your blood pressure run?
I was a regular pothead and heroin user in my later days of high-school. Then I came to my senses. Only used junk for a year though, pothead for a while.
I grew up. Now I just drink, hehe....not much better!

O.k., I'm the "dick" from the as#@&%e that rails against anti-political "bullshit". You're too stupid to realize how hypocritical you are. That's cool though. Climb on, bro!
Dingus? Whatever. You seem to like hurling subtle insults. I kind dig that if they're done in satire, like you implied.
This place is short on satirical jokes and jabs at one another.
Geez, I hope we go climbing soon, cabin-fever and bombs is getting people riled up!

Relax. It's not like you can stop the Tide.
The Tide rises. It will fall again.
Relax.

Ahh california; it's a beaut of a state to visit (not counting the rat race population centers), but soon nobody will be able to afford to live their as desperation for tax revenue increases. Maybe the last permanent residents can turn out the lights and the whole place can then be turned into a national park.
Says the man from the People's Republic of Alaska. Said state funded by confiscating the wealth of oil companies. Right on, comrade!

Brennan the interglacial is over. You and your apartments will soon be buried in the continental ice sheet.
Edit- Gary our repub governor (former oil co lobbyist) just succeeded in a major reversal of oil co taxes.

I think Dnigus plays the 1% card a bit too much in this. I'm stuck in the middle. I'm getting out-bidded by Chinese nationals here.
Don't know if that's good!

It'd be nice, as a Cal native, that I could score a property.
Prolly not!!
