Fuck the bay area

Atlassian d@t_person May 23, 2020

It’s always the people not here, who haven’t lived here that say this first and loudest.

Fuck the Bay Area, the house price is insane

LinkedIn amōur May 23, 2020

Lower than many Asian cities

eBay Time2Carry May 23, 2020

Bay Area is mostly suburban areas, the price is comparable to city’s

House prices are higher for a reason. You will enjoy the house more in bay area with bigger social circle because of a big house and also you will have more appreciation and also schools will be better and more competitive with a shot for your kid to make it to Berkeley and stanford and you will enjoy better weather and will have beaches mountains snow deserts all close by. Period. Now if you buy half house price in austin, you will need atleast 2 of those to be consider actually big shot and to have bigger social circle just because of house. So less money you have to buy a house you will get less in life. No hack like moving to cheaper area will give you that satisfaction that richer people will have. I can give you analogy. You are trying to not go to iit or top college because you know you cannot be topper there. But remember being a mediocre in iit trying to get to top is more fulfilling than being a topper in low grade college. Same goes for bay area vs low col for housing. Another thing is you can retire anywhere you want if you are able to get house in bay area bit if you get house in cheaper place sorry you cant retire in bay area.

ludicrous to pay 💰 for Bay Area homes.

Salesforce _mojojojo_ May 24, 2020

But its perfectly fine to pay 💰 to software engineers?

The poll will be biased since people not living in Bay Area would vote to get out of here.

Bay Area can go to hell

Bye Felicia, take your hick asses back to Texas or whenever you came from. We are sick of you clogging up our freeways.

Gladly. Keep your shit freeway to yourself

Bay area housing is a bubble. Wfh will pop it at some point, but nothing happens overnight

Macy's rkJL23 May 25, 2020

people said the exact thing after dotcom bust and 9/11. if you had bought a house then, depending on the area, you’d be looking at +200% equity.

Covid is nothing like it. World changes order of magnitude much more.

For Asians and Indians, the Bay Area is the only option in America. Think of your future kids and the HELL they'll face in an all-white or all-black high school out in a florida or a texas.

Amazon re3 OP May 23, 2020

Have you ever been to Texas? Probably more Indians and Asians in Houston than bay area

NVIDIA KOPOHABPYC May 23, 2020
