If Full House were Done in the 2020’s

The show was set in San Francisco of the 1980's and 1990's except that type of show won't work in this decade in the city.

(Arial View of the City in the. )

Back in the late 1980’s to the mid 1990’s there were sitcoms like Full House that were oriented towards families on a Friday Night. I especially remember the time when the writers used core cities as its setting and had characters who had some wit with them. Yes the characters won’t work today like it did in the area when it was originally filmed. Some of the plotlines won’t work today too given how culture and customs has changed in the past 40 years. In this case we will focus on location.

One the median price for a home in places like San Francisco where Full House was set would be at $1,234,246 as of 2023. Also in able to live in places like San Francisco you would need to work at a Venture Capitalist operation given it is one of the main industries in the city. Back when the show was done it was likely that the average middle class family could live in the city. Today in able for an average middle class family that Full House wants to portray on TV to live they would most likely live in places like Vallejo, Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville and Dixon with the average is $550k given that this location where lower and middle class people are most likely to live in Northern California given that the core cities are too expensive to live in. The characters would have to be families in split status like some of the family members would commute to the Bay Area and others would commute to the Sacramento area for job reasons and still make their situation manageable. Yes one can argue if Full House were to happen today it would be in different parts of the country. All in all its about life having to be different like how this is being described. All one has to do is read the post on solanoedc website seen here. Here is one of them.

Yet Vallejo, and Solano County in general, is being reborn as a refuge for BIPOC people who have been displaced from Oakland, San Francisco, Emeryville, Richmond and every other part of the Bay Area where planning decisions have been deployed with little forethought to the unintended consequences for the local population. As we have seen across the Bay Area for the past 25 years, when long-time residents can no longer afford to stay and enjoy the cleaner, safer, more prosperous version of what used to be their home, they are displaced.
