I remember rewatching Basic Instinct last year and all I could think about was the real estate nostalgia. A cop and an academic being able afford large apartments downtown seemed even crazier than Sharon Stone’s character, and her beach house will forever haunt me as the most desirable and unattainable piece of real estate in the entire Bay Area

I just assumed Stone's character acquired her properties from exes who died “unexpectedly’, but you're certainly right about Michael Douglas living downtown on a cop’s salary. Even in 1992 he would've been commuting from Reno.
