DAK, it would be nice if the choice were more widely available.

I know a guy who just sold his small but well maintained older house for 400k - bought it for about 200k only 5-6 years ago near the price trough - walked away with 200k tax free, but then had to sink it into an even higher mortgage after downpayment on a somewhat bigger place. This was in a more affordable area than Silicon Valley too. The buyers called him and thanked him profusely for choosing them over the other bidders. Warped reality, not to mention realty, if you ask me. Still, I wouldn't trade it for a more affordable life on the windswept plains.
