I live in Silicon Valley, and of the people I know well enough to discuss these things, every one who doesn't own their home is experiencing some level of distress about rising housing costs. My anecdata isn't proof that the article isn't exaggerated, but the article is pretty consistent with my experience. Just sayin'.
- jonathanyc 8y agoI grew up in the East Bay. Techies aren’t the entirety of NorCal’s population, and the areas populated by techies aren’t the entirety of NorCal. Rising housing costs are a real problem for the kind of people we might meet at work or networking (assuming you’re also in the tech industry). But this is a very biased sample. As soon as you go a little out of the peninsula there is farmland, for Pete’s sake.
