Just thought of some wonderful "walkable" towns in N.CA. I think prices have softened in Auburn, which is a really cute and touristy little town. Grass Valley is also fun, but can get congested with the visitors. I love the hippy dippy stores and places to eat. Along the 49 trail you will find places like Murphys Camp which is also very charming.

Working families in SFO either have lived there a long time or have really long commutes - like from Sacramento. I've heard of people pulling down multiple 6 figure salaries living in their car because there isn't anything at all, let alone affordable. It is nothing like when I lived there 25 years ago and was really expensive then.
But then, if you have property or income to live in NYC, maybe SFO would work.

no, tesaje. I only have a teeny townhome here. I would be able to make a nice swap for a place in Portland, but not even a studio in the Mission District in San Francisco. I just checked.

I guess I was thinking of Manhattan. If you own property in Manhattan, maybe you could buy in SFO. NYC is way bigger than Manhattan...

If I owned a place in Manhattan, I don't thnk that I would move. Manhattan is beautiful , they pay very low property taxes because there is so much commercial property . Those who bought a place 20 or 30 years ago are very fortunate, sort of like those who own one of those Victorians now in Pacific Heights or something.
