I would have agreed with your statement as late as 9 months ago. Things have changed. The inner Bay Area market is becoming BRUTAL for home buyers again.

If I ever settle down and raise a family I will get out of this crime ridden town. Just another day in Oakland.
If the crime is so bad, why don't you move now?

Sometimes I wonder where these people are going. The worst crime I see downtown are crimes of hipster fashion.
