You're not going to afford to buy real-estate in San Francisco on a salary. Full stop. You don't buy multi-million-dollar houses when the company might go pear-shaped and leave you without a paycheck, even if your paycheck is in the six figures.

- chrisseaton 8y agoThere are many homes for sale in SF for about a million dollars when I look. Isn’t that completely reasonable on a tech salary of a quarter of a million or so?

- geggam 8y agoNot when people are coming in 10-15% over ask full cash. You cannot compete with that using a mortgage.
