What I don't understand is: why do these people live in SV? I can understand tech worker staying with their big salary, but non-tech workers would live a much better life in a more "normal" place.
Then after they all move out, maybe the tech industry will figure out a way to make it livable for those people when they realise they need them too.
- exDM69 9y agoSeveral of the people interviewed in the article mentioned the proximity of the hospital where they get their medical needs taken care of. One mentioned having to be nearby because they were waiting for a liver transplant. I don't know the intricacies of the US health care system, but I think it might be a major setback for their healthcare if they relocated. And they might not be any more well off if they relocated. They might have slightly higher wages living in SV. Moving elsewhere might mean they couldn't even afford living in a vehicle.
