Even tech workers can’t afford to buy homes in San Francisco

And although there’s been a bit of a slowdown in recent sales, that’s expected to change quickly. A new class of freshly minted tech IPO millionaires are set to “eat San Francisco alive,” as described in a headline of a recent New York Times story.

If only there was some way to work on software without burning gas and limited human time on hauling your body to some packed noisy location.
Yeah we're all broke and will be on the streets soon
There’s Seattle dude
You don’t need to live in a SFH, the median for condos is likely less If you aren’t happy with the bay leave. If you can’t leave because you feel the TC is necessary suck it up
Sfh or bust, who wants neighbors?
Considering that like everyone that came to California after the 80s lives in multi family housing I’m gonna say there’s a lot of people willing to put up with it, but more importantly aren’t willing to pay the exorbitant premium for SFH / no shared walls
Make SF salary in NY and live on NJ suburbs :)
Ok, and? Most people understand supply and demand already.
