I moved to Seattle for Tech work. It required 2 months of planning and less than $5k in expenses (for two people). I moved from Memphis, TN. Places like the Puget Sound and the Bay Area are going to keep getting populated with tech workers, and they are going to keep rising in cost. Moving isn't hard. It sucks to feel kicked out of the city you live in, but there isn't much that can be done. If you can't afford it, move somewhere that you can. I hate gentrification, but what can we do to avoid it? Ban high-paying jobs? Maybe one day all of this will bite us in the ass, but if you find yourself on the receiving end right now, do the best thing you can for yourself and get out!
