Almost $700,000 for that dump!!!! They must be smokin' the really good stuff out there in Pinkostan.

I thought that surely you were joking until I clicked on the price link. No wonder we have so many Kalifornicators moving into Texas acting like the lastest wave of J.R. Ewing Southfork "ranchers". All they are lacking are their silly quail feather hat bands.

I'll see your 1151 SF for $689K and raise you to "approximately 1000 SF" for...One Point Three Million Dollars.

Your neighbors across the street, by the way? A trailer court. Oh, and you're just a quarter-mile from the 24-hour sirens of police chasing drag racers down El Camino Real.

****$689,000****

NO WAY! REALLY! What kind of imbecile would spend that kind of money on this teeny little place when you could buy a veritable palace elsewhere! Just goes to show the average intelligence of the people living there now.

It's still brutal here! I live near Berkeley and everything on the market was built in the 30's or 40's and while it is taking longer to sell everything is still selling. My girlfriend and I make over 100 K and we are not even in the game at this point. It makes better business sense for us to rent right now. We have a 3 bedroom all utilities included for $1600 per month which for the Bay area isn't half bad.

Us locals know that at that "bargain" price, there are probably major structural problems, and likely a bad neighborhood and schools as well.

About 1 million is the going rate for anything worth living in anywhere in the metro Bay Area.

A house like that would go for less than $60K - not $600K - in my region.

During the mid-90's a web designer I knew moved from NM to the Bay area. I asked him how it was going. He said in NM me made $15K and lived in a s#ithole, and in SF he made $80K and lived in a s#ithole.
