$200K?  Damn, you can't buy a house in Sacramento anymore for $200K and
we're 80 miles inland from SF.  I moved from San Diego to Sacramento because
the pay was better here and homes were affordable.  San Diego starter homes
are now selling for $400K+.  I don't think SF even knows what a starter home
is...

Cheers,

Jeff

so where do the "average" people live..if they cannot afford a $200k+
home??
i always wondered how people survive on the west coast..those like me who do
not make over $25k a year..  i have known so many of my friends who have
moved
out there to the west coast, only to move back to the east coast in a year
becuase they say its so expensive and cannot make ends meet..
