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

Actually there is a lot here for less than $500k that are in nice areas.
My area has houses for $600k, and we are one of the more upscale areas in
the Bay Area.

I can show you a house that is by no means anything special in Pleasant
Hill that the owner has been approached by buyers willing to shell out
$400k for that is in a mediocre neighborhood, is 35 years old, and as is
every house in the area, has a yard the size of a postage stamp. Here it
would be worth little more than $100k. Showed people from there houses
for sale here, and they were amazed.

Did not say the houses were more expensive. Just said there are affordable
houses for the median income folks. Pleasant Hill has lower priced areas,
but is still a good location. We sold our house there in 1979 for $85k.
1200' house on a big lot. Pie shaped lot on cul de sac. Now estimated
$467k at Zillow. 9 st. Lawrence ct. If you want to zillow.com
