I found this post today on a Craigslist San Francisco real estate forum:
If this is supposed to be a buyer’s market, why do the listings that I have been seeing look so lousy?
I know that I can afford a decent place in most of the country (approximately $550K or so), but when looking at the listings here on CL and at other places, most of the places are just… dumps…
They are either extremely small, are near railroad tracks or are just plain wrong…
I only found one place that even comes close to my liking and even then it is right next to a Mormon Church and has popcorn ceilings (aka asbestos) …
I don’t know what’s worse: mesothelioma or loitering deacons.
