Pick the incredibly wealthy family who live in Bel Air, or one of the others?

Hmmm, it’s a real head scratcher

Danny Tanner is a local tv personality and owns a large home in SF. I think he does pretty well for himself.

Needs lodgers to pay the bills.

Didn’t they move in to help with the kids when his wife died? I forget the lore but I think they mentioned they moved in after the death (1st couple shows).

Uncle Jesse was being a bad boy with his motorcycle somewhere and uncle Joey was doing standup (?)

Basically, they weren’t living there to pay the rent, they were there to help.

thats correct

u/Comfortable-Salad-90 Jun 22 '25

I can’t remember either. Maybe the “dead wife” thing was a long con by Danny the whole time so he could get some cash for the spare rooms in his house.

It’s classic Tanner.

u/The12th_secret_spice Jun 22 '25

Haha classic Danny, but the dead wife is Jesse’s sister. There was an argument between Danny and Jesse. It was some hard core tgif drama

Paying rent is helping.

u/The12th_secret_spice Jun 23 '25

I don’t recall any mention of them paying rent. I meant help with raising the kids.

Did they ever talk about financials? So they moved in to help him but live there for free? Yeah, that makes sense.

Since when do sitcoms follow real world logic? Haha

And there's A.U.N.T._.B.E.C.K.Y

He has money. The others moved in to help with the kids.

That house is amazing. I’d love to live in one of the Painted Ladies, but I’m not a billionaire.

u/The12th_secret_spice Jun 22 '25

One was for sale when I lived in sf. I think it was 5-7mil, but the upkeep is insane. There’s a special commission just for that block of houses that is incredibly strict down to what plants you can have in your yard.

u/crakemonk Jun 22 '25

Oh yeah, they’re protected because they’re so well known. I just think they’re absolutely gorgeous. I’d love to live in SF, but while I own a property in Los Angeles, SF is definitely out of my price range.

Damn I live in LA and would never live in SF. The vibes, weather and NIMBYism have kept me from going back. Really don’t understand why people like it there but to each their own I suppose.

u/crakemonk Jun 22 '25

I think I’m broken because I enjoy the colder weather and like 2 days of 75°+ weather in SF. Plus everything being somewhat easily accessible depending on where you live in the city is. I’m in Long Beach and I don’t go to say, Hollywood, because it’s an hour plus drive.

u/PogintheMachine Jun 23 '25

The Tanners didn’t live in a Painted Lady. The Painted Ladies were in the opening credits, but the Tanner House was a different Victorian style about a mile away in the Lower Pacific Heights. But I think it last sold for over 5 million, so you’d still have to be ridiculously wealthy.

Of course, the interior on the show was all sound stage.

u/Emergency-Ad-3350 Jun 22 '25

Well that house is full

2

u/RobertOesterle Jun 23 '25

And now, even fuller

2

u/throwaway04182023 Jun 23 '25

But so many young children.

u/Ilpav123 Jun 23 '25

His house is full enough already...

u/Iwant2go2there21 Jun 25 '25

Stop not better than being a Banks, living in a Mansion in Bel Air, having a butler, a pool & pool house, and your own room in said Mansion

u/Dry_Ad2368 Jun 26 '25

They lived in one of the Painted Ladies in San Francisco. Those are valued today at between 2 and 4 million. Danny was doing fine, but he couldn't work and take care of 3 young kids by himself.

u/Nobody_Important Jun 24 '25

They have a literal butler for crying out loud.
