Dufus thinks San Francisco is a college town!SF is 49 sq. miles, street parking is impossible and expensive. It is much like Manhattan, and the irony of the NYT posting such a story is striking. The OP, of course, takes a single statistic and uses it dishonestly. The City (which is what we natives call SF) attracts mostly single, very well educated young men and women seeking a career first, marriage and children in the distant future.
People forget, SF is also a college town*** which swells on work days when over 250,000 people roll in on BART, Ferry Boats, Buses, CALTrain and in cars from the Peninsula, the east and north bay counties (Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Conta Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo), regions which have warm summers and for the most part lesser housing costs.

The average home price in San Francisco is $1,149,000.

"Also a college town". Most students aren't in the market to have children or consider marriage. Most launch a career first. You posted a thread without doing any background homework, and respond to facts with a personal attack. Your post is not the average cost of a home in SF, it is the mean. That you seem ignorant of such a remedial statistic suggests you're not only a hack but a poorly educated one.
BTW, the home in which I was raised (outer sunset) cost my parents $14,000 in 1948, it is worth approx. $900,000 today. With the rise in interest rates, such a home is out of reach of young families with children. It is the market which sets such a price, and the home I referenced was a 3 & 1 row house six blocks from the Pacific Ocean in the fog belt.
