So this is why people live in California

Jackson Street, San Francisco: 20 rooms, 9 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 3 half-bathrooms, 7 fireplaces, hardwood floors, 4 storeys, an elevator, 4-car garage, and off-street parking.

And a heck of a view!

This kind of house is only for the rich, though.

So what?

Most of the homes worth looking at are only for the rich, your point?

So what?

Precisely.

Beautiful. I live in California, but not in a house like that. I do have a magnificent view of the Monterey Bay, though. ;-)

This whole neighborhood, Pacific Heights, is for the rich, as are most of the adjacent neighborhoods (Presidio Heights, Cow Hollow, the Marina, and Russian Hill.) But rich is relative. This house is for the very rich.
We just bought a house three blocks from this one, without many of the “benefits” as English estate agents say, about 2/3 the size for about 1/5 the price. Still not cheap, but we are not rich in the current economy.
Pacific Heights is among the most lovely of the fully urban neighborhoods of the world, comparable to the upper east side of Manhattan, or the 6e, 7e, 8e and 16e arrondissements of Paris.

It may very well be a nice house, and affordable by WASPs with two children, but when San Francisco has another earthquake, there won’t be much of a view left, and I doubt that house was built with a steel frame. Hopefully, San Francisco is done with earthquakes, but with seismic activity, you never really know until the ground decides to start dancing.
