In what way are Bay Area tech workers "transient"?
- dmichulke 10y agoEverything is transient. ("If something cannot go on forever, it'll eventually have to stop.") But I'm pretty sure that's not what GP was referring too ;)
- stuckagain 10y agoIndeed. I would like to know how a tech worker is more transient than a banker, bus driver, welder, poet, lawyer, etc.
- closeparen 10y agoLocals raise housing prices to punish us for our transience. We burn out after a few years of realizing that home ownership is perpetually off the table and raising kids here will be nearly impossible. We give in the locals' demands that we move out, and locals double down on working to punish us for our transience.
