> Why not live closer to work? 1) Maybe they got the job at Google half way through their year lease in SF and are relying on the bus to get to work for 6 months until they can move. 2) Maybe they are fresh out of college and still live in their family home in SF and are only using the bus to get to their new job while they save up enough to move closer. 3) Maybe they live in SF because it is equal distance from their job south and their partner's job north or east. 4) Maybe they are in that group of people that thinks jobs come and go but your home is your home. These people don't move closer to their job. That said, nobody HAS to live in SF. A fair number of people actually commute INTO SF.
