[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t have family there or a reason other than a job, I would think it’s not worth it no matter what they are willing to pay. [/quote]

This.

People are leaving that area in droves. And it’s not just the ridiculous housing costs.

I know someone living in what looks like a garage apartment/tiny home for $1M+ (purchased years ago). They can’t afford to trade up and are crammed in there with a new baby. They are hoping to get the hell out of CA asap. They are in the medical field and earn nice salaries.

Schools are an issue, too.

Such nonsense. If people were leaving in droves prices would be falling.

It’s just poor people leaving (and some random doctors are poor compared to Big Tech salaries).

So just make sure you are properly compensated. A Fintech role should pay $1M if you make $355k in DC.

With that kind of comp you can get a small house in Menlo Park and go public. [/quote]

Sigh.

Let me explain what you are missing.

Workers and retirees are leaving, and their houses are being snapped up by foreign nationals, investment companies, and super wealthy investors.

Like nyc where billionaire row towers are dark because nobody actually lives in the investment properties, SF’s housing market isn’t like most cities.

PS - expect your grocery bill to double if not triple. [/quote]
