Gas was $3.59 yesterday, up from $3.44 last week.  That's better than what I know some of y'all pay, but it's making me grumpy.  

After years of riding out the life of my old gas-friendly car, I picked exactly the wrong time to buy a truck.

It'll come back down. I'm not at all concerned at this point.

4.99 here when I filled up Saturday. Think they may install a machine where you can trade blood for gas.

We are being gouged. We get almost none of our oil (<10%) from the Middle East. This is bullshit.

It's still a global market though.  If scarcity is driving up the price coming out of the middle east, it's gonna drive up the price here as well.  Not by as much, but local providers would be crazy to sell at a rate that's well below market value.

I understand that, but I'm still not buying that gas should be anywhere near $4, let alone $7. It's gouging.

We have a large amount of CA folks moving here. You could just join them. Much easier.
You misunderstand. 

I live somewhere cheaper than Ca (and probably Florida). If Ca got much cheaper, or someone offered me crazy money, I’d think about moving back. 

But chances are low for both, and now I’m developing some modest roots here.

Gouging and Capitalism are not the same.

Oakland 3 bd/2 ba: ~$700-900K.

Compton: $600-700K.

That would get you a real nice house on a good sized lot, with a great school district in suburban Milwaukee.

Our group will be putting about 75 houses on the market in Compton, probably in 2027.
