I don't think we all spend hours in traffic every day. Nor does everyone pay through the roof. After all, I am surrounded by people who pay less than $4k/yr in property taxes for a $1-3m home that they bought for bargain prices or inherited.
It's just the newcomers and perpetually poor who suffer the economic effects.
But, hey, the weather is nice and I don't see many "no gaijin" signs here. Would be weird since we're closing in on 40% foreign born after all.
- GreaterFool 8y agoI've never seen "no gaijin" signs here either! Maybe it helps that I don't read Japanese :P > or inherited Sadly I failed to inherit property in major metropolitan area :( I suppose I tried? Regarding prices I was thinking about rent actually. Owning a house in Bay Area is not something that pops into my mind in most circumstances!
