This is just not true, I live outside SF and have kids and own a single family home. My pay here has exponentially gone up over the last 5 years, especially if you account for RSUs and so has my wife's. We are also able to change jobs every two years that results in decent pay increases. I also made a ton of money selling my previous home, and sit on a massive equity on my current home. There is a reason things cost a lot here. Because people can afford it.
- fgrep 8y agoSo you owned a previous home, presumably before the real estate has rocketed, and your wife is also in the tech industry... If I want to move now and I do not own a home neither have millions to fork, and my wife is not in the tech industry... also its not clear how bad your commute time is. Not sure where outside SF you can live and still be able to commute everyday without being 4 hours on roads a day... there is no public transportation in the us
