I've lost about $140,000 in my home value, no one seems to be running my
way to compensate me for my loss.

Hell. my house is down about $300,000 from it's top market value.

Is that the real value or just what some fool might have paid in the
middle of the bubble?

I could have sold my house for $750k but I was never confused that it
was really worth that much.

Real estate out in the Bay area is an extreme. You don't get much out
there for $500k

I understand that. Around here things were nuts for a few years with
ridiculous prices but the 1300 sq/ft house that sold for $455k at the
height, just went for $370k so it is recovering. I think the buyers
are nuts but that is another issue.

A relative has a house in Walnut Creek that at rock bottom was still
very close to a million $$, and wasn't that great. I mean, nice house
and all, but I was shocked at what a million doesn't buy you out there.
I didn't care for living there, too crowded. But that's just me.

If it still a million, then it is a nice house, and in a good area. My
daughter lives in santa Monica and there a million gets you a tear down on
a small lot.
