Have you seen what a house costs in the Bay Area? Try about $400k

Maybe they were built with union labor.

Wrongo! In fact, many of the houses being built there are being built with labor that doesn't speak English and doesn't know what "plumb" is. There have been legions of people who paid fortunes for houses down there who have watched walls sag, driveways crumble and doors pop out of their frames. No union label on any of that construction!

The real reason for the high cost of housing in the Bay Area is that for every new house that is built, five new households move into the area. Hence, it is very expensive to live there. Supply and demand and all of that.
