Itโs hard for me to cry for someone in this situation.
Tim Trampedach, a 36-year-old business owner who lives in San Francisco, has seen his homeโs value soar from $1.2 million to $1.6 million in the past three years. He and his wife want to move into a bigger place, but there are simply no homes within their price range in their Portrero Hill neighborhood.
For $1.6 million in many (very nice) parts of the country, you can buy 7 or 8 really great houses.
Listening to rich people whine about living in an expensive place is not exactly music to my ears. Donโt like the San Francisco prices, move the fuck out of the San Francisco area.
You could live in the same $400,000 house in Portland, and have $1.2 million leftover.
And then shut the hell up because as weโd say where I grew up, your problem ainโt even approachinโ one.
