I only remember this from when I was living in Palo Alto: https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/03/22/250k-per-year-salary-could-qualify-for-subsidized-housing-under-new-palo-alto-plan/ https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/03/22/250k-per-year-s... Wasn’t able to quickly find what the actual current number is (or if it just varies by development). But yes, obviously qualifying on even $70k would sound insane in most of the country. The point is that higher productivity = higher rent = real lifestyle gains that are nowhere near proportional to real productivity gains.
