If I want to be a 35-minute bus ride from a job that pays a six-figure income (actually quite a few jobs, but I only have one of them) yet still live in an exceptionally walkable area inside a region of the country with moderate temperatures and a vast array of indoor and outdoor activities both private and social? Yes, I think that a total price exceeding $200,000 is acceptable. I will be paying just under $350,000 for this new residence. When I lived in a metro area with a much lower median residence price, my commute to work by single-occupant vehicle was 40 minutes (to get that low of a house price) and statements like "be sure to not waste water, we don't have much of it" were commonplace on the news. FWIW, I'm not in San Francisco.
