Cdowwe Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 It was more for peoples health, even though I know air quality has its effects on people, it was more toward exercise and how fat people are in the cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Originally posted by Predicto Sorry. No can do. I like my 10 minute commute too much. My parents lived in San Fran in the early '70s. They were only there 2 years but were getting ready to buy a house when my Dad was relocated suddenly, but they still almost bought because they were just married and wanted some rental income. The house was $60,000... one of the row houses downtown. Even had a garage and a backyard. That was a decent amount of money back then but not unreachable. They still keep in touch with the people who live there... that house is worth millions upon millions today. :doh: They made out very well in life and are extremely comfortable... but man, my Dad gets a twinkle in his eye every time he tells that story. One other quick story about San Fran... my aunt and uncle lived there their entire lives. My uncle was born there, grew up there, went to USF, and worked there his entire life. He never made a lot of money. But he was a homeowner... he just sold his house and moved to North Carolina where he's building an $800,000 home in the mountains. Paying Cash. I wonder if that kind of thing will happen in our generation... and if so, where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that kind of thing will happen in our generation... and if so, where? The reason real estate here went so crazy is because the city is unique, and the geography (surrounded by water on 3 sides) does not permit endless growth into far off suburbs. There is only so much of San Francisco to go around. When the hightech money started pouring in, people were willing to pay an ever increasing premium to be here. Look for those factors - unique character and limiting geography. Hawaii might be a possibility, or maybe Seattle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
