    Yup, those are the people who benefit. Everyone else gets priced out. And good luck if you’re in trades or the service industry.

      Trades or service workers live outside the area and commute or cram in 8 to a house. My uncle was driving 3 to 5 hours one way doing heavy equipment at one point before he bailed out of the area. Everyone who works in San Fran/San Jose drives in from Pleasanton, Livermore, shit as far out as Tracy and Stockton, and turn the entire 580 into a 24 hour a day clusterfuck.

      How the bay area hasn’t collapsed in on itself is insane to me.

        Yeah we visited there 10+ years ago, stayed in a hotel, and ate at a nearby Dennys and I was questioning how those hotel and Dennys employees could afford to work in those places.
