This article is about tech firms. The companies named in the article are Facebook, Apple, Uber, Microsoft, Dell, Twitter, and Yelp.

Or, perhaps, does this have something to do with idealizing a certain area that refuses to zone for its population density, resulting in a cost of living that is absolutely ridiculous? It's sad when both parents have to work minimum wage jobs just to make enough to get by. But that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about a particularly bubble of tech where people make more than enough to get by and choose expensive lifestyles to match their expensive salaries.
