### Comment:
Rich men buy places that retain value and keep politics out of their decision making.  Sour boy.   
  
 During the market crash in 2008, bay area was one of the only places the US that didn't really drop in value.

### REPLY:
Wait what?  I was under the impression that the bay was hit but people just rode it out.  I was in a city that was actually pretty unaffected, housing market-wise, by it all so it was kind of weird reading about people up north getting wrecked on home values.
