Guess there's lots of Cons and Libertarians reading NH as every time I point out nasty issues with things SV I get an instant downvote that occasionally trickles back up to 0 or 1. Pointing out that the sheer explosion of housing and salary in SV and environs really puts the screws to the normal people/staff that make society work isn't politics - it's the nasty reality of SV. It was that way in 2000, and the trend was going that way beforehand. You can bemoan the lack of nurses/teachers/..., go a distance for services, truck in services or pony up and pay them. Your call.
