You still need daycare when working from home. Trust me.

  Working remotely with such salaries one can afford to search for places where a house near a daycare is a viable solution and move to another place once daycare is no longer needed

    Yes, it sounds ridiculous to rely on one particular employer for daycare. But it's not just that. Even if your spouse is totally staying home to take care of the kids, Bay Area (be it SF, East, or South) ain't a good place for families.

      >it sounds ridiculous to rely on one particular employer for daycare About as ridiculous as relying on one particular employer for health care coverage

        Agreed. The employer managed Healthcare concept is so weird to me. It's just the government outsourcing administrative work to companies as a "ticket to ride" the economy. Public servants have been high fiving each other since 1935. In an action that was a blow to union control of health plans and a stimulus to employer-controlled programs, the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 banned union control of welfare funds based on employer contributions. On the positive side, an attempt to explicitly exclude employee benefits from the requirement for collective bargaining failed, and the law retained the vague language of the 1935 National Labor Relations Act that required management to bargain on "wages and conditions of employment." The law also established regulations for joint employer-union control of plans involving multiple employers.

          The employer healthcare doesn't make any sense to me either. At least it's a normal expected thing, though.

      Why is it not a good place for families? Anything other than the expense I mean

  Not if you have a SAHM or SAHF.
