If I want but cannot afford to buy a Ferrari, am I actually a "Potential Ferrari buyer"?

If I want a meal at Nobu but cannot afford a meal over $5.00 does that make me a potential frequent diner at Nobu?

The story talks about people unable to afford this area.
Those people ARE NOT "Potential buyers".

This is not new news -- we've all seen this before, for decades. Thirty years ago WE could BARELY afford to buy the LOWEST END HOUSE in the area (even after owning a house in another state first. We scraped by and we panicked about our monthly bills for at least a decade. But by diligent cost-cutting, and frugal living, and extensive saving, we hung on, and now are doing well. No-one subsidized us. We couldn't afford expensive "toys" -- even on two "tech" salaries. Why do 2018 immigrants to the area think that they should be treated better (more easily) financially than we were 30 years earlier? (This has been a "tech" valley for decades, and the "cost of housing" story has been the same for decades. This is nothing new -- nor even newsworthy.)

What is wrong with you people when you compare having a place to live as being equivalent to wanting a Ferrari or a meal at Nobu? Bay Area liberals are the worst, at least conservatives are honest about hating the poor.

And the city is okay with this? Only hecca wealthy can now afford to live in Mountain View? Be gone the middle class.
Mountain View has whored itself out to be a ‘city’. Gone is the suburban neighborhood of past.

PEOPLE: I'm going to be putting my Manufactured (2000) home on the market soon. Not many for sale right now. A probable mortgage payment + space rent for you will be 1/5-1/4 what folks are paying in rent. To buy one of these homes you need: Flawless credit record and rent payment record because park managements require it and can stop a sale that has closed if you don't meet their required standards vav credit and income levels. Incomes of ~ $70K should qualify. These homes in California APPRECIATE (mine has--BIG time), I pay property taxes to County Assessor, not license fee to DMV (a myth since early 70's); no wheels under my home (a myth since early 70's). Quiet, security conscious neighborhoods, nice neighbors (some of whom work at the big TECH companies), mostly kid friendly. I'm just saying, if you want to have an really nice affordable place to live which will appreciate in this area... Then y'all should think outside your narrow box and consider another option. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

LOL,
Can I live in Woodside or Belvedere? I really want to, and I hate the fact that I can't afford it. And I'm not talking Ferrari, isn't this my HUMAN RIGHT?
