San Francisco / Oakland / Hayward comes in at $427 billion. San Jose / Sunnyvale / Santa Clara comes in at $220 billion.

- bdcravens 11y agoInteresting to see that SF trails both Dallas and Houston. (which in turn trail LA and Chicago significantly) Add to the fact that Austin is the fastest growing, and you can buy a nice house for under $200K, yee-haw.
