Looking at the neighborhood, it's nothing but single family homes.
Not likely zoned for condos, but who knows? Grease enough palms and almost anything can happen.

Every single house in that area is valued at $1.25M and up. Some at $2 mill. You could tear it down, build a new one for $750K, and still make money on it.

Regardless, yes it sucks. I would love to live in California but the RE is out of control. I could sell my house in Arizona and I might have enough for a down payment in Cali., but that's about it!!!!
