It seems rather flippant to dismiss this out of hand.
That's the main issue people have with SV (and London, and <insert big city here>).
If you're not a person who's happy living in a tiny space you don't own, then it's a grind until you move out.
A long grind. And you're planning, the whole time, to leave it all behind.

I don't know SV. I do know London.
Starting today, $1M USD in London gets you a decent family home.
In ten years? Forecast not looking good. We're right back to the 'save to move out' point.
It's a mercenary lifestyle.
