Got my '72 built 3/2 brick ranch style in '92 on 20 ac here in central Texas for 59.5k (owner threw in a Ford 8N tractor, didn't need it where he was going).

Couldn't pay me 350k to live in SF.

“Couldn’t pay me 350k to live in SF.”

I spent a year on Treasure Island going to electronics school. For 350K I would be willing to live in SF for a month or so provided somebody paid all my expenses while there.

I reported there around Labor Day of ‘62 and by the time I finished school my pay was up to a whopping one hundred and four or so dollars per MONTH. On that sort of pay two of my classmates went together and rented a two bedroom apartment in SF so they could have a place to party on the weekends with their girlfriends! You could go in a nice bar and order a mixed drink for fifty cents, beer was usually a quarter.
