housing is insane around in here. 800k buys you a shack. Unless you were either 1 Rich, 2.Cashed out huge amount of option shares 3.Gettin in debt out of your eyeballs, it is hard to afford a decent house with a normal salary. I like Berkeley, and SF, but still, living around in here is very expensive.
- davidw 19y agoI find that this has a big impact on the local demographics. One of the reasons I was so happy to return to Padova in 2000 is that it just feels more 'real' to me. There are rich people, poor people, and everything in between. Lots of old people, but plenty of young people and families as well. The bay area, unless you're rich, seems to be more about "get in, make money, get out". We're a bit weary of moving, and would like to stay somewhere for a little while.
