I'm a homeowner in the bay area (been one for almost 10 years; and lived here for 20+ years) and I'm very unhappy with living here and am actively working on moving away. Most of my friends who are around my age (mid to late 30s), which include friends I made in college and early in my career, are also homeowners and are generally less than happy with the bay area as well; but do not want to give up the bay area tech salary to move away. If anything, it seems like people who want to be in San Francisco for its tech industry are the ones who have moved in over the past few years and are renting, and currently enjoy "that city life". Instead of categorizing the situation as homeowners being happy (NIMBYism) and renters being unhappy, it might actually be: Young, tech industry people are happy in the bay area, and pretty much everyone else are unhappy (non-tech people, lower income people, in tech but older people, etc.).
