> The grandparents point is excellent. I never thought of it that way but it was / is certainly true for me. Eh, I mean, for a lot of homeowners in the bay area, because they so little amount of housing compared to market price, they usually can (and do for some communities) front large down payements for their kids' houses. That's how you see so many people in their late 20s affording houses you have two have two or three of: two good incomes, frugal mindset, good RSUs / IPOs, or parental help. Obviously it sucks for people who do not have upper middle class parents, and that's why we need to fix this stupid housing crisis.
