In the Bay Area, $117,400 is considered 'low income'

I remember when I was in Texas and I asked a guy how much a particular house might cost, this was about 15 years ago, he told me $300k and I was floored. It was a near mansion. In Toronto it would have gone for 4-5 Mill easily even then.

Who the hell wants to live in Texas?

Who?

Unfortunately, all liberals lunatic Left who is leaving California.

That's who

Now they want to pollute Texas.:mad:
They have taken down Vermont from New York... Colorado, Oregon, and Washington State from California. They are like cockroaches.

Obviously many folks do.
The burning question is “why?”

That says something, eh? I guess living in an open sewer appeals to a certain social type.
 
$7,988,000 in San Francisco. Turds extra.

$499,000 in Culpeper, VA

Supply and Demand. More demand in San Francisco.

I don't know why. Turds can be found at any local gas station restroom anywhere.
Or on any downtown sidewalk.
 
Just had to post this .. unreal.

In the Bay Area, $117,400 is considered 'low income'

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) - It’s no secret that the Bay Area is an expensive place to live.

But now it’s become so expensive that a six-figure salary is considered “low income,” according to a report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The annual report says a family of four in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties that earn less than $117,400 are "low income."


This means they qualify to live in low-income housing projects.

$73,000 is considered “very low income” in those counties.

To most Bay Area residents, these numbers aren’t shocking considering the the high cost of living.

In March, the median home price in the Bay Area hit a record high at $820,000, according to CoreLogic.

In San Francisco County, the median home price hit $1,087,599, making it the most expensive housing market in California.

To make you feel even more poor, a Palo Alto estate hit the market Tuesday for $96.8 million.

Another data point. Way back in the day, I used to be involved in trainings for the Incident command System.

The Bay Area is rather unique because the downtown area is so expensive that none of the first responders can live there, it is primarily accessible by bridges or tunnels or the narrow land bridge from the south, and because it is near this fault line that goes up to Point Reyes. The training the response apparatus went through in that area had a "jingle" that went; "The first 72 are on you"...meaning that you should not expect official help for 72 hours; have 3 days worth of food, water, clothing, medicine, make-shift shelter, defense, whatever you think you need. I think it is a good way to live at all times personally but the weird thing was that the EOM community there basically conceded the 3 days of 500,000 people on the peninsula being on their own. I'm sure the dynamics in Oakland, San Mateo, Sausalito are different but downtown SF...you're screwed.
 
Supply and Demand. More demand in San Francisco. That's how capitalism works. Sounds like some here want rent/mortgage control.

Or it sounds like some of our conservative friends (and self proclaimed economic experts) here don't quite get the concept that better always costs more.

You. But your employers haven't paid you a living wage so you can't afford it.
 
When Silicon Valley has a hiccup, you will see a huge correction in the SF market. Right now they can do no wrong, and are printing money. Nothing lasts forever.

With Texas getting hit with the largest percentage of tRumps tariff insanity, you might want to consider moving.

Also, a 20% increase in healthcare premiums under tRump care.

First responders CAN live in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. The first 72 were on them.
