Tree Tuesday on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore

Yeah I guess if we wanted a house on the beach we're at least a hundred years too late! I'm sure any home on the beach has a multi-million dollar price tag.

100 years ago would have been perfect! Any place you liked would have been doable. Oh man what a time that would have been. Many successful people had homes in places like Pasadena and then had smaller beach homes they would visit in summer. Nice little wood "shacks" right on the sand. If they got destroyed in a storm it wasn't a giant loss for them. Most of those are gone now. Torn down for big homes that are often just a big box.

Howdy sir rossfletcher! That's interesting....I guess you're in the right place at the wrong time!

It was a lot more open space then that's for sure!

yeah just think of buying up beach front properties back then and holding on to them!

I would have to look into it more but i think there was quite the real estate and development push in the days before the depression. That slowed everything down a lot. Might not have been a roaring real estate market but must have been nice to have some property even when the value wasn't going up crazily. After WW2 things were picking up again.

oh yeah, buy homes for a few cents on the dollar during the depression! Oh well, now we just gotta survive the best we can!
