Well, just wait until a good earthquake wipes all of you out.

It sure would help affordability if the city allowed more condo conversions. Right now, buyers only have the option of buying $800K -plus single family houses (there's nothing really cheaper than that), or condos or TICs. Since TIC's are so costly to finance, etc. they're not really a good option. So the way it is set up now, TIC owner's end dumping all their money into additonal interest payments instead of into all the good restaurants in the city.

San Francisco has and will alway's have limited inventory so there never will be a bubble to worry about. The Market there has survived earthquakes, stock crashes, unemployment, etc.

these lists are pretty standard fare in journalism, sometimes funny, sometimes odd and sometimes dumb. in a quick scan of the story, i didn't see anything about the local housing inventory, where San Francisco is clearly in a different category than, say, Sacramento. as long as there are various kinds of jobs to be had here and a tight supply of properties to buy or rent, prices stay high.
