For years, the most common recurring dream I've had is of discovering (suddenly remembering?) an extra room in our home, often undecorated or full of boxes never unpacked. Such excitement—wow, what'll we do with this space?! Not sure if complex metaphor or jab at SF real estate.

Relatedly, another silly SF real estate observation: almost everything in my house costs less than the square footage it sits on? I'll think "oh, wow, a piano would be expensive"… but, like, actually buying the space to put it costs much more!!

Amen. Everything has two costs: how much it is to buy, and how much you have to pay for the space it takes up.
Leaves me dreaming of maybe, possibly, one day having a three car garage (three!!) to have enough space for a gym area, ping pong table, and modest workshop. One day.

Big dreams for SF! Boy, a ping pong table must be a pretty amusing point on that chart.

Oh my God, don't get me started. 9' x 5' just for the table ($2k MSRP max). 10' x 15' if you want enough room to practice serves. 20' x 30' if you want to be able to play a serious match.
Sadly, it's a hobby that's difficult to exist in a city.

lol 20’x30’ is >2/3 the square footage of our home!!
And here I thought piano was an impractical hobby for city living!

This is exactly why dedicated table tennis clubs in cities only exist in the industrial / warehouse districts, almost without exception. That, and the need for high ceilings (min 12ft). :(
