...in the Peninsula of the SF Bay Area at "$5 million".. ???:
Southlake, Texas, castle ‘totally fit for royalty’ shows up on ‘Zillow Gone Wild’ page
It looks like something you’d come across while searching for the holy grail — even in the smothering Texas heat. It’s a stunning castle in a Fort Worth suburb on the market for $5 million and while it may stick out among all the houses in the neighborhood, it’s worth all the attention.
Southlake is a high-dollar Fort Worth suburb, known for the Carroll High School Dragons football team and as an epicenter for critical race theory.(https://www.star-telegram.com/latest-news/q8mztg/picture252378588/alternates/LANDSCAPE_1140/Castle2.jpg)(https://www.star-telegram.com/latest-news/sk5u4r/picture252378858/alternates/FREE_1140/Castle13.jpg)(https://www.star-telegram.com/latest-news/6aofai/picture252378843/alternates/FREE_1140/Castle12.jpg)

For the same money, you'll get something like this in the Peninsula area ;D:
Atherton's 'Cheapest' Home For Sale: $5 Million
WOW House: It certainly says a lot about a community when the "bargain" in town is $5 million.
ATHERTON, CA — We simply just can't imagine who would ever want to live in a dump like this (queue sarcasm here). $5 million and just under 4,000 square feet? Puh-leeze.
Look at those fireplaces. And that open floor plan with windows everywhere. Just awful, right?

Funny chit how native Texas are telling Californian that Texas is full and tell Californians to stop flooding to Texas. You know how it is. The more people flooding to Texas will jack the prices of homes up and the standard of living will follow suit.
Someone did the calculation. Property tax and insurance is higher in texas vs california so for the overall term of the mortgage will have texas being more expensive, even though the housing is cheaper right now.
Yeah, flood to texas alright. The ground just shook here in the Oakland area just yesterday. :2funny:

"property tax" in TX is higher indeed...

Several Cowboys is living or have lived in that town:
"Former Cowboy Russell Maryland is tackling racism in his children's Texas school district"
After winning three Super Bowl rings with the Dallas Cowboys, defensive tackle Russell Maryland felt at home in Texas and moved his family back to the Dallas suburb Southlake when he retired from the NFL in 2001.
However, when a video of white high schoolers from his local public high school chanting the n-word at a party went viral, Maryland realized that his community needed to do better.
All three of Maryland’s children have gone to school in the Carroll Independent School District (ISD). The district boasts some of the most affluent and high-performing public schools in the state — Carroll Senior High School has a 100% graduation rate and only 1.4% of students in the district are economically disadvantaged.
The school districts’ statistics also include a dramatic racial disparity. It is 63% white, which is more than double the statewide average, and only 2% African American. Maryland said that his daughter experienced the racism from other students in the district firsthand while she was attending Carroll Senior High School.
