[quote=AN]…You providing data just reiterate my point. The San Mateo area have WORSE school than MM’s school. So, thanks for disproving your own statement about school. Similar properties in MM would go for low $300k. So, that’s ~50-60% higher. So, where’s the 0-25% higher you’re talking about?[/quote]

AN, I didn’t look at the school scores there but I can’t imagine that they’re that much lower than MM.

btw, I thought you posted somewhere that your kid was going to private school. If they are still attending private school, do you EVER plan on sending them to public school?

If not, why are you so focused on “school scores?”

And btw ~$320K / ~$455K is NOT “50-60%.” It is actually 29.3%. And you never even considered the upside potential of the $455K SM fixer (IF they get that much for it) vs a MM fixer for $320K.

If I was a GEN Y with the skills SV firms are currently looking for, I wouldn’t waste a second in moving up there, but that is just me. However, I never had any parents living here to help me with kids.
