How can prison employees afford to buy million dollar homes. I am a bit shocked how low the housing prices are there. Same place in Tiburon would be 10 million not 1 million.
I'm not exactly sure how it works there, but the history seems to be that the community started as a place that only sold (or maybe rented?) to prison employees. I'm thinking kind of how only Disney employees can legally live in Bay Lake or Lake Buena Vista. There might be some sort of enforceable covenants that restricts who can live or purchase real estate there.
I've seen the homes over the years, but the first time I really heard about it was when a notorious inmate (Larry Singleton) was being paroled and every community where they tried to relocate him was up in arms about it after a few days. So he ended up serving the remainder of his parole in a trailer in the San Quentin residential area because nobody else would have him. Eventually he had to be released, moved to Florida, and then murdered a woman.
