Broke Ass Cantina


I can't be 100 percent certain, but this might be a Brokeback Mountain parody.

I found this little restaurant slash cantina slash comedy club a couple blocks from the Press Telegram building which is the (only) site in Long Beach that is going to be redeveloped into affordable lofts. I mention this because I'm honest-to-goodness keeping my eye on this project as a potential future place of residence. You see, the term "affordable" is code for "possibly within my price range, but we'll see." So if you extrapolate into the future, I may someday be a regular at the Broke Ass Cantina.

That's some funny shite, LA
Are you sure you want to make Broke Ass Cafe your residence?

pixelledkisses - No, not the same LA.

LA, that is funny!......Referring to the affordable housing, is that even a possibility in California??

No, housing prices are completely insane here! That's why for the first time, I'm seriously considering leaving here. In fact, the Pacific Northwest is on my short list. Who knows, we may be neighbors!

I didn't think anyplace on the west coast was affordable.

It pretty much isn't, getflix. It's so frustrating.

So whats worse (when it comes to housing prices) the west coast or the east coast?

B - Thanks for satisfying my insatiable curiosity! Germany? You don't say? My mother is German. I've been to Garmisch.

Pix - That's a very good question. I'm not familiar enough with East Coast real estate to have a good answer, but I know that the last I heard, the mean price for a house in Orange County (CA) is about $650,000 and in LA county is about $575,000. Those are pretty high numbers for the mean. It's very hard for first-time buyers to get into the market.

Non monsieur, mais je parle le Francais. Combien des langues parlez-vous?

B - Non, je ne parle pas Italien, mais je suis italien. La première langue de mon papa était Italien. (I used google language help for that second sentence, I've forgotten verb tenses!) When you say "Persan," do you mean Farsi?

Chili - It's completely insane here, and the bubble still hasn't burst. Don't forget, though, that West Hollywood is somewhat expensive because it's an area where a lot of industry people live. I think all the houses I've shown on this website are in Long Beach which is still LA County but a bit of a commute for "Hollywood." Therefore, the prices are more reasonable (which is a relative term, of course). Do you ever look at www.Craigslist.org?
