During a taxi ride across the Golden Gate Bridge (1972) I remarked about the nice homes with a view of the bridge - the cabbie said those go for around $35K, which sounded high to me at the time.

When I was a kid I got accepted to a rather elite, highly regarded university. Tuition at the time was $13,000 per year. And I had won a $1000 scholarship!
My dad looked at me and said "Congratulations! That's very nice! Now, where is the other $12,000 going to come from?"
I didn't have an answer to that question so I didn't go.

1967-1971 home prices in the
Petaluma/Santa Rosa area were
averaging $18,500 for a 1800
sq ft tract home. Dad and me
sheetrocked a bunch of them.
