10 years ago or more, the rent prices were much lower than the price to buy a place so it made sense.

Now, it doesn't matter which you do, either buy or rent. They are both wrong, because both are sky-high.

When the Bay Area housing bubble collapses in the future, renting will get cheaper, and your mortgage will stay the same.
