Where CA really sucks is metro wide median home prices:

San Jose $1,688,000
San Francisco $1,300,000
San Diego $900,000
Los Angeles $893,200
New York $627,400

and really this is nothing to brag about, in New York, there are more affordable areas outside of the city proper --in CA home buyers really have no relief as even the least desirable, high crime suburban areas command top dollar, which is really absurd.

Plus you really can't compare (most of) the Bay Area to NYC, totally different housing types. A shitty house which needs an overhaul here in Fremont in an iffy part of town is still at least a million.
