My wife and I don't need a four bedroom house for the two of us either, but land is cheap, houses are cheap, and I still have a tech job in MI working remote making six figures. Never set foot in SV.
It's not about need. It's about the fact that my life is pretty awesome, I have tons of spare cash, I can relax on my deck and see nothing but trees and squirrels and my dogs running around.
How much room does a family of three need? I think 4 acres is better than a two bedroom, third floor apartment surrounded by pavement and cars.
- abakker 11y agoCouldn't agree more. Acreage is unbelievable therapeutic compared with the city. Source: Grew up on 4 acres of woodlands. Now live in SF. Would like to move back to a more rural setting after 3 years of hunting for parking spots and spending all my time/money getting away from the city when possible.

- Tempest1981 11y agoSo invite some friends over for a beer and BBQ... Or be an extrovert at work for 9 hours a day. OTOH, I know what you mean about the mental stimulation of big cities -- need to feed that ADD. :-)
