I feel you, but I also live in the SF bay area. I still can't really afford to put a comfortable percentage down on a house, and even if I could, housing around here seems very unnatural, so it freaks me out.

Houses that were less than 100k 6 years ago are easily half a million now and that's spooky to me.

Oh yeah, that sounds sketchy as hell. Every time I think of SF bay I think of towns like Flint Michigan - the height of living during the american car craze, falling as far as they rose left them shattered. It just seems weird.
