Wow! I can't believe Ann Sather had to close.

We have the opposite problem here in CA -- because tax rates are articifially kept low, real-estate prices are absurdly high. Which is why the median home price in the Bay Area is almost $700k, which of course none but the wealthiest can afford. Seems like you just can't win.
