Someone (who generally is more perceptive) said to me: I can buy a house in Austin that is X time bigger than in the Bay Area. Of course; but then why not move to South Dakota.

The higher housing prices in CA reflect much greater demand - people want to live in CA, despite all the reactionary political media campaigns - and it's for good reason. When Austin prices match SF, then things have changed.

I was surprised that so many people just followed a hot trend on such a long-term, high-impact decision.
