[quote=bearishgurl]You must admit that the reasons you didn’t want to take a position in SV were all personal. Your choice to stay in SD “2-3 yrs ago” instead of pursue those SV positions and possibly buy a residence there did NOT cause your family to be “better off financially.” It allowed you to live the life you wanted to lead, i.e. you and/or your spouse to work less and be near family.
That’s the bottom line.[/quote]
Of course everything is personal. Else, everyone would be moving here instead of living there. It’s all about financial. That’s my point and that’s the point you tried to dispute. YOU state income is 40% higher while housing is 0-25% higher. I call BS on both. I provided data. Now, the ball is on your court. All I got is, MM is cheap because of x,y,z, but yet, you haven’t provided a single example of houses in the bay area that’s 0-25% more expensive. BTW, your x, y, z is ridiculous and a complete missinformation.
Leave out the personal information, and lets just focus on the data. Show me housing examples that show 0-25% more expensive and show me average income of various professions that make 40% more. I showed my data.
So, does these look like 0-25% higher to you? That house in Palo Alto sold for $720k in 1990. I assume its 2000 price would be around $720k. Is $2.2M 400-600% higher than $720k?
