In the 90s I remember hearing this too.
What, that due to the fact that we're all working from home because of a global pandemic, and my employer says I can WFH long-term, I'm thinking about moving out of SV?
You must run with a different crowd than I do, because I don't recall a single person saying that in the 90s.

- epistasis 7y agoThe headline is the evergreen part; certainly the specifics are different now then they were back then! Edit: also, check out Raldi's link to a 1993 post for complaints about housing costs and more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23181981 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23181981 (That said, the housing costs are far worse now then in 1993 on a wage to land price basis, I hear!)
- ghaff 7y agoI didn't pursue a few job options during the 90s in the Bay Area in part because of housing costs and companies that weren't offering enough to cover the difference. As you say, relative prices are much worse now. But Bay Area prices were high even then.
