Schwab has a free robo advisor, Vanguard has a fee robo advisor, iShares has a little robo portfolio generator. I'm sure there are others too.

SF needs to approve and build a ton of high rise condos and apartments. Period. Problem solved.

by notadoc 10y ago

Well yes, this is obvious. Nobody today is buying ranch houses in Palo Alto for $160,000 anymore.
