    CA DMV Registration Fees

    But charging my EV is about 1/4 of filling up the tank with the current SCE pricing. And EV costed a lot more upfront than ICE in 2022 when I bought …felt like a lose-lose game to me.

    The last part got me! Maybe the true reason I am hoping for no-ban of foreign buyer. My plan has always been selling my Irvine house when kids are in college. 1/2 of the money from my house can get something really nice in Austin, TX…

    No my focus was not on undocumented immigrants, given 99.99% of them won’t be buying Irvine house in near term. Just trying to point out that it is impractical to differentiate between local and non-local, or citizen and non-citizen. Someone can be living here for 30 years but still looks...

    Oh boy, ITIN counts? Also - visa status doesn’t decide your SSN, let’s also consider DACA for a minute… A direct answer to what you said - B1/B2 doesn’t have SSN by default, H1B always have SSN.

    That legal US resident requirement alone will be too complicated to define. Is tourist on B1/B2 legal ? Is H1b/H4 legal? L1A/B/C? How about O1? Ok, how about tax purpose resident? Ok, the partial ones too? Look, layman term doesn’t cut in legislation…
