I really doubt it. The bay area has the most absurd housing prices I've ever seen. Looking on zillow, I've seen places that aren't as good as mine in Chicago go for 2-4x the price I paid. It is absurd and Illinois isn't known for being a low tax state recently.

  Should have just said 4x cause the 2x condos I saw where acceptable to me but way worse. This website [0] lists about a 4x price difference on average price per square foot. That is a ridiculous cost of living difference for the most expensive purchase one will likely make in their life.
