So you don't have a family and you want a house? Go find a sweet apartment or townhouse and let the equity build until you've got a family going. That may be a bit judge-y but come on, not everyone can/should live in a detached home.

EDIT: I'm assuming that's an option. Does the Bay Area have condos or is that one of the dumb zoning things y'all got going on?

Apartments and townhouses don’t take kindly to woodworking, music, working on sports cars and motorcycles, etc. At least not in the bay. Personally, I’m not ever going back to sharing walls or floors ever again.

And for the cost - you really don’t get much for your dollar.

So you’re very picky, but can totally afford a place where you live.

I don’t think having a bar where you’d like to not hear your neighbors at 3am anytime they open or close a door is a high bar.

But sure - keep moving the goal posts in your mind.

I’ve read all of your comments, you’re being very picky all while you can totally afford to buy a house where you live. You won’t consider a townhouse, want a woodworking shop, a music studio, and a motorcycle shop.

They have condos and townhouses.
