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!!

As an aside, I believe this is true even for our place here in New Hampshire, so it’s surely true in SF.

Hm, right, so for a 5'6" baby grand, plus 2' clearance for bench, that's 37sqft, so the breakeven point is 37 * $/sqft. In SF, that means you can buy a great new handmade piano, but not from a $$$ European brand; at SF/2, it'd be more like Yamaha, Kawai, Baldwin, etc.
