That is a tenancy in common 2 bedroom apartment not a house. Shared ownership of a 100+ year old building with "leased" parking 2 blocks away. Not exactly the home ownership dream.

I own one unit in a 2-unit condo built in the 1910s in SF. It’s pretty fucking dreamy if you ask me.

different strokes for different folks. I can't fucking stand hearing every breath of every neighbor in a 100yr old SF house and having to tiptoe at all times so as not to upset the other tenents

I am almost never aware of my upstairs neighbors, through two pairs of them, including a dog and a baby.

Then click around to find something more your liking. There are a lot of places for sale for under $3M that aren’t exactly a tent under a bridge.

Luckily you can live in a city and then later sell that appartment and buy another house in the sticks that is the dream.
