it's not affordable for people to raise a family in your city It's not quite as bad south of San Francisco. But still bad. A while ago I worked in the Oregon office of a Bay Area high tech company. I was down in the Bay Area for a work/social occasion. I was sitting at a table with a group of engineers. It was dinner, so the talk turned from work to things like family. And that's when I learned they were all "DINKs". Dual Income, No Kids. This was years ago, and even then people in the Bay Area found it hard to afford children. The median price of houses has easily doubled since then. It made me really sad. The Bay Area is just so different from most of the rest of the country.
