    A San Francisco couple is glad they decided not to sell and retire elsewhere. The East Bay awaits.

    BySusie Wyshak April 14, 2026April 14, 2026

    With relish, I devoured the Wall Street Journal “Retirement Rookies” article by Stephen Kreider Yoder and Karen Kreider Yoder. The title was “We Considered Leaving the City in Retirement. We’re So Glad We Didn’t.” Mind you, this isn’t the “city” as in New York; some people insist that’s the only city that deserves that moniker….

It's right there in the Elmwood on Claremont, tucked a couple doors down from Star Grocery. 

The meticulous vintage-style decor draws you in to a dreamy fantasy world as does the record room in back where you can play vinyl on the hi-fi.

They've even converted #ucberkeleylibrary card catalogue cabinets into their own "Tabletop decimal system" to check out  games!

The VERY last step when a house listing sells in the East Bay is to remove the Supra lockbox 🥳
Convincing aspiring home buyers NOT to buy a house or to understand what it will take to fix up a house is JOB #1 as a buyer's agent. Showing houses after a torrential rain is a joy.

How is the property draining?
Is any water getting into the foundation or the house?
Where is the water coming from - the roof or the earth or both?

What isn't job #1? Getting you to buy any old house.
