Bay Area wages soaring but still can’t keep up with housing prices

The only place within an hour of Palo Alto where this might have been true is East Palo Alto. It's adjacent to PA. It is still a somewhat dangerous community.

That's changing. Prices in EPA are now >50% of equivalent housing in PA, and rising rapidly through the same processes that have given us $1.7 million starter homes elsewhere in the Bay Area.

There's really nowhere within an hour of PA that has home prices even 50% of PA, much less 25%. Three hours, maybe.

Union City across the Dumbarton Bridge should be less than 50%. It's 22 minutes with no traffic. You can also get to SF in 40 minutes on BART.

I've lived in a home similar to http://www.zillow.com/homes/34404-Torrey-Pine-Ln,-Union-City...
