[quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of younger families (i.e. people in their 30s with babies through school aged kids) who live in the bay area.

If they own, some live in condos or small 2 bedroom houses with their kids sharing a room.  Some send their kids to schools that don't have the best test scores, doing their research and finding a diverse school that has otherwise attractive qualities, like an involved PTA.  Some rent.  If you can lock in on rent control, it can be a good deal.

A lot of people with kids who aren't in school yet live all the way out in Pittsburg/Baypoint where you can rent a 3 bedroom house for less than a 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco/Berkeley/Oakland.

Some commute 1+ hours a day.  A lot of people at my work who live further way come in after 10-11 to avoid traffic, since we are a pretty flexible workplace.  Some people work from home, or only come into the office a few times a week depending on the nature of their work.

Lots of people have two tech salaries (or other high professional salaries) and buy their house through stock options.[/quote]
