The Median Price Of A House In San Francisco Soars To $1.6 Million, And It’s An Actual Craphole

Further proof that California is becoming increasingly unlivable.

According to this, the median price of house for sale in San Francisco is about $1.6 million. That’s right. Million with an “m.”

The median sale price of a house in the city soared to $1.6 million in the first quarter, an almost 24 percent jump from a year earlier, according to a new report from Paragon Real Estate Group. That topped the previous high in the final three months of last year by $100,000.

Quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in median home prices are often not too meaningful, the real estate brokerage said in its report. But prices in the city have been soaring for several years, as “feverish” demand far outstrips supply.

“Fear of possible impending interest rate increases may be playing a role in demand, but consumer confidence has also been soaring over the past year,” Patrick Carlisle, chief marketing officer at Paragon, wrote in the report. “Recent financial market volatility, so far, appears to be having little effect on local real estate markets, but it still early to measure this.”

One silver lining for people out shopping now: The gain in condo prices has moderated as new units come on to the market. The median condo price increased by a relatively modest 4.6 percent from a year earlier, to $1.18 million.

Only $1.18 million? Wow! That’s SO MUCH BETTER.

What really gets me? People are willing to pay that much to live in a city covered in crap. Yeah. San Francisco is covered in Actual Human Sh*t.

That is an Actual Human Waste report for San Francisco.

This map comes courtesy of the (Human) Wasteland project, which is a “mochimachine project. It uses human waste reports made to 311 in San Francisco from DataSF and maps them in several ways.”

Via Thrillist:

This isn’t a map of errant dog turds, mind you, but of human waste. Wong tells Thrillist in an email that her map is meant to shed light on the issue of homelessness in San Francisco, which is pervasive: “Because of [the map’s] popularity,” she writes “the issue of homelessness in San Francisco resurfaced in the media, which means there’s X many more people aware of this problem and how they can help. I feel lucky to have been part of that.”

The map is also predictive of whether you’ll encounter a poo-river or turd-minefield while walking down the street in SF, because it’s got a search function.

You can search by neighborhood and type in an address to see if you’ll step in human crap.

There’s also a tab where you can “report poop.”

So there you have it. San Fran is an Actual Sh*thole, and it costs like, a million dollars to live in that sh*thole.

No thaaaaaaaaaaaaanks.
