Now those same McMansions are worth $1.4 to $1.7M each so they have gained double the equity which is great. But doubling equity doesn't double class.. East Dublin or Dublin in general is considered the lowest of the lowest class community of CA. Living there you are stuck with these folks judgmental and bad attitude towards anyone except their own kind.. I remember once someone told me there is/was facebook group of nannies/cooks consisting solely of women from manteca, modesto, tracy area of only punjabi community. In this group they discussed things like which non-so-favored caste to target and make sure to teach bad manners to the children of those particular families so that their children turn out to be bad kids. Cooks sometimes discussed about spitting in the food they cooked at the families they worked at because they were jealous of that family's success being from different caste. It was a brutal group of people who discussed long term plans to mess with people who are non-indians or from different caste than theirs.. I was aware of indians to be insular but this particular thing scared me to hire the manteca, tracy-side nannies/cooks. This exodus out of SFO is great in the sense that the burden on the city is reduced, but anyone who is considering moving to East Dublin from places like San Jose or Fremont or Los Gatos or even SFO and who have small children, I really feel bad for them, their children and their future as they are making the biggest mistake of their life and probably don't even know it!

It seems that almost every region is competing to be an upcoming tech hub but not great timing with remote work and an unstable economy.

San Francisco Chronicle:


Nearly every city in the Bay Area saw the majority of its homes sell for more than list price, according to recent data from real estate listing website Zillow.


https://sfchronicle.com/local/articl...s-16263716.php


Up until recently, it was typical for homes to go for about 15-20% overlist in El Cerrito, she said. The median house currently goes about 40% over list price."
