Millennials & lions differ in their opinions of what a down housing market is.  It was only a couple years ago when lions remarked how everything was suddenly $2.5 million.  Now $3 million is a depression.  The media has a very short term memory.

The lion kingdom noted a $1.7 mil fixer upper looking exactly like Katherout's parent's house.

Apparently, this was a housing development in 1956 in Palo Alto.  

There's a row of them on Middlefield Rd. though the floor plan is common everywhere in Palo Alto.  

One which isn't a fixer upper is $3 mil.  For that kind of money, you can just retire.  The only reason anyone is buying these is to double their money in the next boom.  These are by no means practical forms of housing.

In 1956, the largest employer was HP.  These would have been homes of middle managers in HP.  Today, they would represent the starting point of single family homes.

Depressing how the former home of the HP family was left to fall apart by speculators.

Lions once dreamed of living there during a boom, watching the commuters lined up for the 101 while going the other way, being in the center of all, surrounded by the smartest people in the world, walking to a job at Tesla, watching others camping in RV's.  Maybe it was true in 2016.

The media has turned silent on the prospect of the return of monster commutes, millions of people sitting in traffic to stare at screens in offices, & living in an RV being required to have a job.  Were the efforts at forced commuting by Elon, Zuck, Goog successful?  Lions have a feeling there was a surge that fizzled.  Parts of twitter went back to remote work.  Salesforce continued downsizing its real estate.
