What does $350,000.00 buy in San Fran?

350k in the Dallas area will get you a nice, big house ( 3000-4000sq ft ) in a nice area. Or a smaller house in a more up scale area.

Do the Google camera trucks actually say Google or anything on them? If it's just a nondescript truck with a bunch of camera's mounted on it, homie probably thought the block was hot, for realz.

...but then you have to live in Dallas.

I was under the impression that even Texans hate Dallas. especially those that are native to Dallas.

That's quite an upgrade from the original Google maps cars from 2005'ish.

I've been there several times on business. Dallas is a great town. I think you are mistaken.

I would live in Dallas if work took me there. No problem.

I'm from Dallas and I love Dallas. Best city in Texas, with Austin a close second.

It'd make more sense to kill them, as they are worthless to society.

I disagree entirely. Though the value to society of someone in need is diminished by pushing them into high-population-density (and thus high-crime) zones; Further, supporting this in high-cost-of-living zones diminishes the help we can offer those who are in need.

Do you honestly think of things in such straw-man terms?

Is this the way you defend hurting the very people you intend to help?

I was under the impression that even Texans hate Dallas. especially those that are native to Dallas.

I like Richardson/Plano. But I'm native to much deeper south, so Dallas seems nice and cool to me.

...
Is this kind of thinking about anything that might help why people support hurting those we are supposed to be helping?....

That made my eyes, ears and mind hurt.

$350k for a crappy house in a city that sits on top of 7 major fault lines. No thanks.

Been here for almost two years, after which I'll be officially branded as a San Franciscan, and it's not a happy thought.

/note to self - work harder at becoming the 1%.

OK, so that's one tourist and one native viewpoint.

This is in contrast to my information, collected from the musings of 2 natives regarding Dallas.

I am still more correct!

 

[AlienCraft]

That's not far from Candlestick. I cruised it up the street to Griffith and Navy Sts.
That area is Hunter's Point.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Austin is the best city in Texas... unless you are pro jeezus... and I am only pro Jesus.

Spin around and look at the purple building. 3/2/2 in the ghetto. $350,000.000

If you think that's bad you must live in candy land. Try seeing what a real ghetto is like. The good parts of Montgomery AL look like that.

Depends where you are on the 1%. If you're in the lowest rung of 1%, that's still only $380k, which means if you buy a house that is maximum 2.5x yearly income, that still places you in housing that still looks middle class (2-3 bedroom, 1-2 bath, 1000-1600 sqft).

Well, spending weeks living and working in a city is not playing tourist.

But, naturally everyone will have different viewpoints. Overall, Dallas is an awesome town and a very successful one.

 

[Jadow]

Buy it an partition it into 4 section 8 apartments, win.



I bought a 950 sqft place in SF back in 200 for 420k, sold it sight unseen for 750k in 2005.

not really a good return, it took you over 1800 years to make 78%

 

[Doppel]

That city is shameful. I liked OP's post, showed it to several peeps, lol

 

[JMapleton]

I would never call Manhattan an awful place.

It is if you cannot afford it. If you make less than $250k, or even $500k, it's pretty much an awful city.
