[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a failed city, it  pretty impossible to buy a house there. When do all these people fleeing actually flee? [/quote]

When they have kids. There are very few kids in SF. [/quote]

When does that reflected in real estate prices? For some wacky reason all of these places that people are fleeing seem to have incredible demand [/quote]
SFH prices are high because they are a preferred housing type everywhere in the US and they are rare in SF and the quantity is decreasing.

[b]Condo prices in SF haven’t increased since 2017. [/b][/quote]
source? Rent prices, including condos, is insane in a lot of CA.  My parents own a tiny condo in a somewhat industrial area of SoCal. I was looking at renting it out at some point.

A 2br apt in that area will go for over $2300.
3 br condo will go for over $3000.

And these are not newly built, nice condos/apts.[/quote]
You could just use Google or is that too difficult?

[b]Yes, condo prices never keep up with SFH, anywhere.  Shrug.  It's not specific to SF.

Same source, btw. That wasn't difficult to find, either.  But, I know you have a special in your heart for SF  :wink:

What’s your point? You’re just arguing for the sake of it without even a point. [/quote]
Maybe read through the thread to understand the point.  Or, maybe you have reading comprehension issues, hence your response.[/quote]
