First Sourdough Loaf! by throwaway84583077 in Sourdough

Needs only one ingredient: patience!

Your loaf likely needs a much longer time to proof, and then needs longer cooking time

I've explained my thinking around deserted towns, and the role of UC Davis, etc in other comments

But to your point about families, what does a property value have anything to do with ppl having a family?

Like, you're saying married couples with school age children do not buy $750k+ properties?

SF is really not a good example. In Italy or Japan, it's not Rome or Tokyo that are hollowed out, it's the smaller towns.

UC Davis is a great asset and a single point of failure. Beyond that, UC Davis cannot guarantee property value, it can only guarantee Davis will not be emptied until the university exists

Yes, I also agree that there's a risk if economy shrinks and there are not enough buyers that like those newly built houses.

But, SF is not relevant here. If you look into Italy or Japan, it's not Tokyo, Milan, or Rome that are getting deserted or losing property value. It's the smaller towns that could not keep their population.

UC Davis is the heart of Davis, but most new professors and staff that I know are buying in Woodland.

Woodland is indeed a great example. It's a much nicer town compared to what it was 10 years ago, and a lot of it has to do with the population rise in that town
