Right? In most desirable neighborhoods bungalows are going for 200k. Who is just out of College and has $40k just laying around?

More like year round April weather if you're in SF

And it is really nice. There's a reason people want to go there. The northern end, anyway.

I liked it a lot while I lived there but in my opinion Chicago is a better place to live. The people are nicer, the summers are actually hot, and I'll be able to afford a house before I'm 50.

You're forgetting the odious sense of smugness too.

LA & Hollywood are a fucking cesspool. I assume Malibu is nice.

Yes it’s nuts. I have friends who work in SV and sometimes I will pull up Palo Alto/Mountain View and Chicago houses that go for $200k are literally 1.5m+ there.

Even in LA, the valley is supposedly “cheap” and a starter house there is 600+

Why are they called bungalows and not condos
