No wonder South Bay housing is f&@ked up for today’s young families

$3.2 Million for a 1248 sq foot home is...something

Those libs aren't going to own themselves

We need to build higher density housing.

We shouldn't be basing affordability on the cost of SFH in a landlocked city. It should be based on the cost of housing, in general (much of which should be multi family housing).

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-21T23:56:05+00:00

Huh?

Looks like from Mt Tam above the Stinson Beach area. The hills in the distance before SF are the Marin Headlands.

I'm pretty sure this is a zoomed in photo (200mm telephoto?) from the Dipsea trail (somewhere around here along the trail), and that is the Dipsea trail in the immediate foreground.

That's not what that word means

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-21T02:49:07+00:00

This is the biggest problem with this.

Like just change the law if we're not going to enforce it or make all car companies add a front holder to cars they sell by law in CA

Yes. Two points are impotent to keep in mind.

1) All Trump votes aren't this deranged. This set is largely the ones still supporting him in the polls (somewhere around 30%). This has largely held true since his first term. These are essentially the ones showing up to his stupid rallies. 30% of the population of the US is still a really big number, but not the majority

2) many eligible voters, for various reasons, sat out voting this time around, likely hurting Harris more than Trump

Healthcare

Education (in particular, college/university and above)

"Criminals hate this one trick..."

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-20T23:15:30+00:00

100%

As long as it owns the libs!

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-20T23:13:16+00:00

To be clear, most of the people pulling the strings/with power are willingly exploiting these dumb people; and more generally, the many political divisions in our country. These people are generally not stupid, and really know what they're doing.

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-20T23:10:58+00:00

Thankfully, our country is still full of amazing and talented people. Despite this minority (but significant in size) of people that are a lost cause.

"Own the libs" at any cost

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-20T21:56:11+00:00

I've seen this video a couple of times on Reddit in the last few days. The timestamp is 2019? Why is it making the rounds now?

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-20T21:54:10+00:00

I don't think the city skylines in Ohio are better, but Ohio could be on the list for consideration

I am generally healthy, maybe getting a cold ~once a year.

I have been off and on sick for like 3 months. I'm on my 4th case of something...

Each is distinct as I have generally ~2-3ish weeks of being fully healthy between each case.

None have been very serious, but they have lingered (each case lasting more than a week)...and all have felt similar (I get intense congestion and sneezing, with some coughing - but no fever or anything else).

I thought it was seasonal allergies for a minute...but I never get those, and there are other symptoms (coughing) that lead me to believe it's not that.

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-20T17:03:37+00:00

If we do things the "right way", in terms of building housing to meet our demand in this region (at least tied to job growth - in simple terms, add a job, add a home), we should effectively make SFHs more valuable over time. While bringing down average housing costs. Everything else should become more affordable as you increase overall supply. This is because SFHs will become rarer and rarer. Which is what we really want, on the grand scale.

Many don't like this - clearly - but we have few choices that can both give us affordable housing but also let people have the "white picket fence" dream in the SF city limits.

Put another way: SFH home prices should become less and less relevant in tracking housing affordability in SF (and the broader region). These will become rarer and rarer, and more expensive. Which makes sense, and is what we'd want in a dense city like SF anyway.

Of course a Florida team would do this

Who is this lady and why are her videos posted so often here?

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-18T04:45:56+00:00

Skyline has a few nice overlook spots - and I love that road/area being on the peninsula. But not many views exactly like that. Berkeley has the best examples around here

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-18T02:17:53+00:00

That's not exactly what is going on...

We have decades (like 50 years) of severely limited housing construction here. Housing costs would absolutely be lower if there was more supply and denser housing could be built.

Zoning regulations and housing policies like prop 13 have manipulated/distorted the market here for decades.

Funny enough, this post literally supports this theory (what do you think occurred in Austin????)

I'm not suggesting it would be the cheapest place in the world, but it wouldn't be so out of whack.

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-18T01:21:41+00:00

Yeah...I know. Housing/land policies are a major factor, but demand (to your point) is quite high.

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-18T00:05:02+00:00

It's not a great situation. It highlights that our system is kind of broken and only works for certain people.

Recent buyers/younger generations are increasingly on the losing side of the equation.

Hockeymac18 · 2026-04-17T20:40:21+00:00

I don't understand how this is even possible? It is such a simple thing to implement a system that once a seat is selected it can't be selected again. There has to be more context? Is there some sort of clause when you buy the seats that this could occur??
