One thing that’s jumped out to some readers about the unfolding civil fraud allegations tied to public funds directed by Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do: What (or really, how little) $1 million buys you here in Southern California.
Or as one commenter on our Instagram post regarding the recent account of the home’s purchase by the supervisor’s daughter, Rhiannon Do, said:
“I can’t believe that’s a million-dollar house.”
To which another person responded:
“That’s the real crime here.”
Welcome to the harsh reality of the California real estate market.
Rhiannon Do was a 22-year-old, full-time law student at UC Irvine when she bought the home in unincorporated Tustin last summer for $1.035 million.
It offers three bedrooms and two baths, with about 1,700 square feet of living space, according to an online listing.
