I don't think I'm ever going to be able to afford a house in the Bay Area. Are there neighborhoods out here that I'm missing out on that might be better for my budget?

What are 2 bd 1 bath houses running for in the Bay area?

Friends just bought a 2bd condo for 1mil in San Mateo

Within the core, look at areas a bit away from the freeways and at gentrifying neighborhoods. Do your homework with liquifation zones and what's buried in the landfill underneath you (e.g. hunters point, SF's less popular but gnarliest ghetto, is radioactive landfill....)

The east bay has nicer housing for a comparably affordable price if you go into the Briones area (Hercules, Martinez, etc). The commute will be awful though, and you'll be breathing refinery exhaust (usually odorless, but there are long term health effects).

The far boonies down south are also more affordable. No refineries, but you trade those for rural living, and a lot of places do smell (cattle, the garlic capital of the world, etc).

At highest point, I had $315k in crypto. After last 6 months of downturn, Celsius and Voyager, all I'm left off is with 40k. I feel so stupid when I think about it. Original investment of 190k.

We earn good, have decent cars and home. I know I and my family are going to be fine, but still !!!
