Everyone talks about housing affordability and NIMBYs and we get into class warfare and home-appreciation snobbery, but the simple thing I can't understand is how will the area's transportation infrastructure scale up? There's no credible solution.

I recently had a couple interviews with Google, and basically, for the positions they wanted me for, I would be required to move to Mountain View. So your advice in my situation would boil down to "Don't work for Google."
