[quote=spdrun]I can understand the environmental aspect, but you’re speaking as if SF home prices are a good thing for anyone other than entrenched baby boomers and specuvestors.[/quote]

Yeah, certain areas have been and always will be insanely expensive…SF especially. I want it to stay high or keep going up since my parents have places. It probably won’t end up helping me and I’ll just be pissed after, but who knows, maybe they will decide to throw me a bone after they have left this world…

Certain parts of Santa Clara County wasn’t expensive before the tech boom and those people made tons if they had multiple rental properties. Place like Cupertino is amazingly expensive to me since it’s not near water, pretty hot, and nothing special to me…Course, Apple is there…

We need an Apple in SD to drive property values insane over the next 15 – 20 years when I sell.
