“How expensive?” tracks measurements of California’s totally unaffordable housing market. The pain: The cheapest place to live in California – the Central Valley’s Hanford – is still more expensive than 295 metropolitan areas across the US. The source: My trusty spreadsheet reviewed the annual “price parity” report from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.
