If I can get a good job somewhere else I will vote with my feet to get out of this ridiculous valley. Half of my salary goes in paying rent for a small apartment. It is simply not worth it.
Pressurizing government into opening up the empty spaces for housign needs is what the tech industry needs to do.
- abritinthebay 11y agoI'm curious - where are you located? Most of the dissatisfaction I see in this area is from people in SF or the Peninsula. East Bay and South Bay seem much less grumpy about it. Yes, it's still not cheap, but it's a world better than SF.
- drudru11 11y agoI really like the open spaces. I also feel the situation has been ridiculous for a few years now (3 or 4). Everybody wants to point the finger at x, y, or z. A lot of people think the fault is the government. Yet, how can the government tell private land owners what to do? Personally I think this situation will work itself out once this artificial stimulus gets turned off. We are at zero percent interest rates! Crazy. Unfortunately, given the US populations dependence on this stimulus, they may not turn it off until it is way too late.
- echelon 11y agoAtlanta has a great tech scene. I get paid SF wages, and I'm renting a 2-bedroom apartment for only $1k. Everything goes into savings. On top of that, Atlanta has great food, music, and arts scenes. I'm sure there are other cities that could fit the bill as well.
