San Francisco wants out but Spain’s too expensive, says SFGate: “Barcelona, the Spanish city that most resembles San Francisco, with its tradition of gay culture, avant-garde arts and culinary mania, is seriously pricey. For instance, for a ‘bohemian style’ two-bedroom, 1,200-square-foot flat in the old part of town on a cute pedestrian-only street, you’ll be paying — ouch — $812,000.” Prices are actually much lower than that, but are said to rise if you let slip that your clients are a bunch of miserable hippies.
