Good God, man, if I had parents to which I could turn for help, I wouldn't
hesitate. My only point was that most of the folks I know don't have that
option, and things get kinda skinny from there.

Wealth is relative (or is it, "relatives are wealthy", I can never get it
straight nor keep a straight face). For those whose parents are gone or
living on fixed incomes, your parents' ability to help might seem
luxurious, to say the least. 

It's not a bad thing to be able to turn to relatives for help, especially
if they can afford it. Just, there are a lot of people without that option
who still want to be able to offer it to their own kids.

Whatever. I still say that Bay Area is a rotten place to try to buy a
home, although it is excellent for real estate speculation if that's your
thing.
