"of COURSE you can't buy Barbie's American Dream House in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world"

It's not even that though, $1M now gets you what's called a "fixer-upper" in SF -- a euphemism which actually means a house with broken gas lines that you literally risk your life occupying.

It's also impossible to save money here for a future house in a cheaper city when the median rent is $4000/month.

We're talking in circles now. Originally I said a person HAS to leave the "cool" areas of the Bay (SF proper being one of them) if they're looking to get ahead in the housing market. I don't think that point's been disproven here.
