That's why I am voting for Bernie Sanders, he wants to actually make it better for the middle class and wants to end the billionaire class from manipulating our government for their profits. We have to take a stand for everyone, its time the working class won.
There are two classes in SF, ultra rich and mega poor. You have to be a millionaire to have a home there, or make so little money that you qualify for an SRO.
Make good money, have 10x more house for 10x less And travel the world with all the money you’re saving from not living in big cities like this. Simple math for me
Jump on Zillow and look around where I’m at in Owasso, Tulsa, and Broken Arrow area Oklahoma. Look at the houses you can buy with a 1/3 of the price of this house. This house is probably close to 4,000 a month after insurance/taxes. I’d rather pay 14-1500 a month for a house 3x this size and have money left over to breath at the end of the month here. But hey that’s just me 🤷🏻♂️
Wraith Wraith Manhattan, Tribeca, soho, etc. it’s crazy tbh. That’s why a lot of people either get one bedroom apartments or you’ll see both mom, dad and their parents in same house just to keep up float (takes like 3-4 incomes)
@@theoriginallewbert in San Antonio 200K would get you a 2 story with at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bath... probably 4 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths. That's over 2k sqft.
Literally everyone who earns less than $100,000 needs to move out of the Bay Area. Just drain the city of mid-salary workers, see if it could even survive without them.
I live in the valley and I pay $600 per month for a 3 bedroom house haha that's why I don't live in the bay area, I work in Dublin CA that is 50 miles away
I’m from the Bay and yeah it’s crazy almost everyone I know splits rent with like 3 or 4 other people on apartments/houses. Everything is so ridiculously expensive. Lots of people living check to check. It’s sad
@@wickedhouston5538 for now . I have heard texans bragging about how houses are cheap taxes are low, little gun control laws. and the Politicans are bragging about getting people from California relocate to Texas. They are leaving becuase of failed state policies but when they get to Texas they will vote for the same style politicians and laws that screwed up California. not to mention they will drive property values up as well.
That's probably what there going to do I think it was sold, the owners probably bought it for the land and or building something better and flipping it for even more
MrBigzo0574 why cause he can’t afford a $650,000 mortgage? 90% of America can’t afford a mortgage like that.....Hopefully you don’t ever need a firefighter who made bad life choices to save your life!

@@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717 The guy was able to afford a 675 thousand dollar house with spare money to fuc it up. He could buy a bigger house just outside of city for 400,000 and hire a driver to take him to work, which is once a week because they work 72 hour shifts( 3 days strait)
Green Giant yeah dude, he’s a fucking firefighter who can’t afford to live in his own city. Unless you think being a fire fighter isn’t hard work then you can’t say hard work means nothing in this shit hole country
I truly don’t believe that the people who can afford this house will actually live in this house. It’s the land that this house sits on that they are after.
This is similar to the Denver area now. I saw a little shack like this a couple years ago for sale for 550k! I know our market isn't quite as bad because Denver is definitely no San Francisco, but he market has changed drastically in the last 5 years. 5 years ago, homes were still affordable and then within a year, everything went up drastically and did that for a few years, and has finally seemed to plateau. We have empty land to build on though. But this has been happening a lot here. They will buy lots and destroy the homes and put up apartment buildings or nicer, bigger homes. I can't believe how many new apartment buildings are going up! I can't understand how anyone would want to live in a high rise either. Seems very inconvenient. I lived in one once and never again. It was a pain to do anything. Especially get all your groceries up to your apt. I had to buy a rolling cart in order to do it.
notebookluvr You know it’s the Bay Area people moving to Denver that’s driven the market so high. We still look cheap to coastal Californians and NYC folks.
@@ytry9939 not stupid at all. It just depends where you want to live. California is the best state in America, that's why prices are so high over here.
@@nathanielmizrahi1546 Arguably the bubble has already popped. The numbers of people leaving California compared to those moving there are very disproportionate.
That property isn’t even worth saving if it burnt down. Where are teachers, or grocery store people, or service workers living? Like how can a city keep a float if you can’t allow everyday workers to afford housing?
People migrate from other countries to improve their situation. Why can't people leave NYC, LA, San Fran, ECT... There are other cities that'll pay you as much if not more and the cost of living is less. Wake up!!
People love to shit on California and New York for being so liberal. But a lot of people would rather struggle to live here than have a big house and be surrounded by racist assholes in another state.
@@Nick0239 Houston is an example of this. Yeah it's cheap, but other than that, it's a shit hole. It's a sea of ugly suburban shopping centers in a humid swamp.
Microbio S YES. This. I grew up in Houston and remember just dreading it. Sweating as soon as I walk outside is really miserable. And if a hurricane/tropical storm hits, have fun being without AC and electricity in 100+ degree humid heat and trudging through shit water to get anywhere for 1-3 weeks. I spent my formative years playing video games and thought the outside was bad. Turns out, it’s just Texas. I spent so much time outdoors in California because it felt great.
Singapore and Paris are just as expensive. Who wants to live in these expensive cities? I'd rather live in a cheaper city close by and just visit there. I live in the country where it's cheap as hell.
One of the most innovative cities in the world is by no means foolish. The survival of the fittest. That’s all. A lot of people are in line to be a firefighter.
Around here, places that look way better than that are bulldozed as soon as they're sold and replaced with modern Mcmansions. It's the lot the developers are looking at, not the house.
@@danieldaniels7571 The entire central valley from Sacramento on down to Bakersfield is much cheaper. Roughly half and often times more compared to the SF Bay Area.
Soon SF will be too expensive for Police, Firefighters, Teachers, Trash collectors, fast food workers, restaurant workers, grocery store clerks, mail people, etc. Everyone will be techies taking the tech bus to a headquarters 1 hour away and eat 3 meals a day there.
Adam Smith yep, according to techy douches if you cannot afford it you need to move out, only privileged get to live in frisco...well let them priveledged serve each other avocado toasts, coffee, feed each other, give them fire tracks, garbage trucks since service workers are underprivileged and not part of the frisco douche elite
Patty Alzawara people are rich don’t live in a place filled with money and you won’t run into problems like this, I don’t really have any sympathy for any of these people complaining there is plenty of small California towns hours outside of San Fran and la that have reasonable rent and good job opportunity, Don’t move to a place like Los Angelas with little money and be upset when things don’t work out for you the world is a tough place.
To the people from more rural states: No one will be living in that house. What the buyers are interested in is the land. Buy for $1million, invest $250k, home value becomes $1.75-$2million as a result of the current market. Yes San Francisco is no longer a working class town like it was up to the 1950’s, or a middle class town like it was in the 60’s-90’s-it is a big tech and international trade city which would be more comparable to the likes of other international port cities like Singapore, or Hong Kong, before some town in Missouri or Texas. Also it’s not just “liberal” tech millionaires and billionaires who live in that city and around Silicon Valley, the conservative millionaires and billionaires who frack or drill oil in your states don’t want to stay in your towns with their level of wealth, please be serious, and that’s why you don’t see them in your everyday life and have no concept of how bad wealth inequality currently is. Your energy might be better spent attacking them instead of the homeless middle class people who aren’t in professions generating $25k checks every week...
Hey buddy, look at you using logic and not throwing out "but it would be $20k in middle of nowhere Wyoming". Majority that are even remotely interested will be buying for land to flip it. Also at the end of the day, SF is a more desirable place to live then a rural area in the midwestern (not regard happiness since that is subjective, but statistically speaking more people live in big cities on the east and west coast with very high cost of living in California, yet its much more affordable in the midwest, south, north).
I’m seeing a lot of people say “this place would sell for $x in y city”. Doing this is like comparing apples to oranges. Or honda civic to a bugatti veyron.
And you don't have to worry about earthquakes, zoning laws, high taxes, crime, pollution, etc. People have no common sense. I guess if they're stupid - take their money.
Land in major cities is going to be a lot more expensive than rural areas, that's normal. The situation in San Francisco is ridiculous though. There are a lot of people who prefer living in cities over rural areas. The market is distorted by NIMBY, foreign money laundering and over reliance on the tech industry.
The firefighter probably makes 10 times more than a fire fighter in Kentucky. If he just lives in a car for 10 years he can buy a village in Kentucky afterwards
@penguins inadiorama then you have to ask yourself where the real problem lies. This is root cause analysis. Prices continue to rise while wages rise at lower percentages. Someone is making lots of money, just nobody that you know.
It’s not overrated. People pay for what they feel is worth it. If you’re a successful tech employee and it’s worth living in San Francisco, then it’s not overrated.
Yeah but keep in mind there are a lot of other parts of California that have reasonably priced homes. Like you could find houses 7x that size in parts of SoCal for the same price
e holly actually there’s a couple of city’s 20- 35 minutes away from down town SF. Vallejo, Pittsburgh, Antioch would be the furthest maybe Stockton would be considered towards the middle of California. I would know cause I live here lol

With everything from small towns to metropolises. Rivers, waterfalls, preserves, deserts, beaches, and soooooooo much land! They have an excellent public school system, excellent private schools and colleges, great economy, the list goes on.

We have empty land to build on though. But this has been happening a lot here. They will buy lots and destroy the homes and put up apartment buildings or nicer, bigger homes. I can't believe how many new apartment buildings are going up! I can't understand how anyone would want to live in a high rise either. Seems very inconvenient. I lived in one once and never again. It was a pain to do anything. Especially get all your groceries up to your apt. I had to buy a rolling cart in order to do it.

You know it’s the Bay Area people moving to Denver that’s driven the market so high. We still look cheap to coastal Californians and NYC folks.

To the people from more rural states: No one will be living in that house. What the buyers are interested in is the land. Buy for $1million, invest $250k, home value becomes $1.75-$2million as a result of the current market. Yes San Francisco is no longer a working class town like it was up to the 1950’s, or a middle class town like it was in the 60’s-90’s-it is a big tech and international trade city which would be more comparable to the likes of other international port cities like Singapore, or Hong Kong, before some town in Missouri or Texas. Also it’s not just “liberal” tech millionaires and billionaires who live in that city and around Silicon Valley, the conservative millionaires and billionaires who frack or drill oil in your states don’t want to stay in your towns with their level of wealth, please be serious, and that’s why you don’t see them in your everyday life and have no concept of how bad wealth inequality currently is. Your energy might be better spent attacking them instead of the homeless middle class people who aren’t in professions generating $25k checks every week...
Go off. That's why we only visit SF, not actually live there 🤷🏻♀️
Hey buddy, look at you using logic and not throwing out "but it would be $20k in middle of nowhere Wyoming". Majority that are even remotely interested will be buying for land to flip it. Also at the end of the day, SF is a more desirable place to live then a rural area in the midwestern (not regard happiness since that is subjective, but statistically speaking more people live in big cities on the east and west coast with very high cost of living in California, yet its much more affordable in the midwest, south, north).
I’m seeing a lot of people say “this place would sell for $x in y city”. Doing this is like comparing apples to oranges. Or honda civic to a bugatti veyron.

Land in major cities is going to be a lot more expensive than rural areas, that's normal. The situation in San Francisco is ridiculous though. There are a lot of people who prefer living in cities over rural areas. The market is distorted by NIMBY, foreign money laundering and over reliance on the tech industry.
