"My sister and her husband bought a beautiful home in Mill Valley on Mt Tamalpais, in 1973, for $77,000 "

One of my brothers did the same thing, but in the late 60s.
His home was on a hillside, just above the main part of town.
After a divorce, he sold out in late 70s and moved to Paris.
He is a medical doctor, and now back in San Francisco for 3 to 4 months, substituting for another doctor.
He says he can not think of a worse place to be then in SF...He absolutely hates being there, and says the people are the worst he has seen anywhere.
All he talks about now is his desperation to get the H out of there.

I don't know how my Conservative Sister can stand it anymore.
