What a great way to make people rush to the cheapest and least convenient parts of the highest income areas, further displacing poor people.

I can only be in one place at a time, so my displacement power is constant.

  some people just complain. if you're living in a rich neighborhood, they complain, if you live in a poor neighborrhod, they complain. wfh? complain. working in the office, not good either. because poor people and climate change and discrimination.

    You're right, that there are plenty of people who will complain no matter what. I think its reasonable from the perspective of someone who's say, a schoolteacher in San Mateo of 30 years that has to live and commute from Richmond or Tracy? Building lots more housing would be the best way to make things equitable at least.

I don't think high income individuals will try to save a few $ and live in a high crime neighborhood with no hipster 10$ coffee in sight.

  Why not? I am, and most worrying about "high crime" neighborhoods is pearl-grabbing by people who are afraid of visible poverty anyways.

  High crime? I live in suburb 2 blocks from a forested area with trails in a nice area and I'm paying $700 a month in the SF/Bay Area. The crime in the area I'm in is lower than most of the bay area because the area gets overlooked. The downside is there are less high end food options, but still some pretty good options. Oh, and the allergies. I get allergies. Too much nature. But it's nice.

Actually I hadn’t thought of this. How far do you have to move to get a salary adjustment? There are very cheap places a 2hr drive from SF. If you move to Vacaville, does that lower your salary?
