11/30   living room for rent: /csua/pub/housing/CollegeAveApt.99
        \_ damn, im glad i dont live in berkeley anymore. thats twice what i
           pay for a whole floor of a house in a nice neighborhood.

[chopped]
        \_ damn, i wish a 9.0 earthquake would hit, fuck up all of silicon
           valley, and get housing/rental costs back to normal.
           \_ That won't change anything.  A huge stock market crash would put
              lots of housing on the market for cheap though.
                \_ how's that?  A stock market crash doesn't really hurt
                   the people who already have bought.  -tom
                \_ Some of us secretly hope for even that.
                   \_ Sure, as long as you're not affected by layoffs or
                      in some similar fashion. --dim
                        \_ Wouldn't matter.  I can get a loan for a cheap
                           house without IPO money.  I'll never get enough
                           money for a house as things are without it.  Any
                           job will get me a cheap house.  Bring on the
                           layoffs.

8/1     Suppose your house is already paid off and you retire at 65.
        How much expense does one expect to spend a year, in the Bay
        Area? Property tax will be about $10K/year for a modest $850K
        home. What about other stuff?
        \_ I think at age 65, health insurance is the next biggest expense.
        \_ I am thinking that we can have a nice middle class

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?
        \_ I have a very similar problem, in that I have a bunch of cash

2/19    I just realized that my real estate broker has a PhD in plant
        molecular cell biology from an Ivy League school in the mid 70s.
        Now she has to deal with a bunch of young dot-comers, and they're
        pain in the ass.                        -Only a BS in EEC$
        \_ My agent used to be a hardware engineer.  He switched to real estate
           when he got laid off during the 80's.  Now he's doing very well.
