If you're willing to disclose the data, how much did your house cost?
The cost of housing is one of my major deterrents to moving to the Bay Area. Otherwise I'd be there in a heartbeat if I could bring my SO along.
I just feel like with the typical developer wages quoted on Hacker News for the Bay Area I really don't see how I could afford a $1M home, which seems to be the going rate there. I'm in Houston and could get a $100k-$150k house here if I were willing to commute. Even if my salary doubled going to SF, it'd be hard to swallow the fact that housing would go up to nearly seven figures.
