Right, and like Manhattan and Hawaii, there are more than enough people with lots of money interested in that kind of lifestyle, to jack the prices up like crazy.

It's ironic to hear the ones who just made that same lifestyle decision complaining about the high prices. If you just moved to SF for the city life in spite of the rents when you could have worked in Texas, you're kind of part of the problem.

(And then everybody else fusses about how it isn't fair they can't afford a flat on Wall Street or a 2br house on the beach in Kauai)
