It's always... interesting... To look at SF on Zillow. There are a few nice-looking options in the ~1.5M range, mostly foreclosures, and it seems mostly in not-so-great areas. I don't know if there are any great areas in SF proper though.

FAANG has a much larger presence in Silicon Valley than SF. SF is more biased towards startups. Although it’s true all the major tech companies have SF shuttles.

San Jose’s median house price is $1.2 million. A million will get you a quality ranch.

(I fully appreciate the ridiculousness of presenting a million as “affordable”)
