I'm about to skedaddle from the Bay area, and can't say it's really worth the expense of living here. You know when people start spouting off about the supposed virtues of living in an area they're probably in real estate; at the very least, they likely have financial interest in property. At least the Internet does one thing very well, and that is expose greed and stupidity. With such a high concentration of greed (high rents) in an area, it's not surprising to find such a high concentration of stupidity. There are at least 49 other states far more deserving of my tax dollars.
