    Very weird unless the headline wants to imply that Democratic judges are corrupt cause how could they afford a $1.5 million home. Although, in some markets, $1.5 million is the average price to buy a house.

      Housing prices are just insane right now. Over the last two years, my parent’s house went from ~$450k (already laughably unreasonable) to $1.1 million. Figuring out how to afford the property taxes has been incredibly stressful, and several other homes in the area have already been sold (to, predictably, huge corporations) by their owners because of the financial strain. Our local laws are a little backwards about that, but only a little. This shit is getting ridiculous.
