The real tragedy for America is that so many of the good new jobs are crammed into a few areas where the supply of housing is severely limited.
The major exceptions are places like Houston and Dallas where there are a lot of good oil and gas jobs combined with affordable housing.
The other thing is that people that work the good jobs meaning high salary usually want to live near places with cool stuff to do.
This is why a lot of tech companies started opening offices right in San Francisco while before they were more focused in the Silicon Valley suburb areas .. but those areas weren’t really where their workers wanted to live.
There are new tech spots opening up in other cities but most of the venture funding for tech is all based in Silicon Valley .
Conservatives are absolutely OBSESSED with the state of California. I'm not sure it reaches the level of their Hillary obsession but it can't be too far behind.
Many conservatives live in California.
But that couldn't be it, right? I heard that the State now checks voter registration cards at the border
San Francisco is in trouble with getting teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters . . . heck, cashiers and waiters, to be able to afford to live anywhere nearby. In San Francisco Unified, 64% of a teacher's income would have to be spent on rent to live there. In San Diego Unified, only 24% of income is necessary to spend on rent - - and San Diego is no cheap place. The affordable apartments that are being built in San Francisco are for these types of jobs.

Anyone who is making less than $500k a year in Silicon Valley is middle class.
I know people here who easily is making twice that. The amount of money that is generating here is mind-blowing. It's why housing is so expensive.
And there is nothing wrong with being middle class here.
.
There are not that many people making that much for the entire metro. There has to be LOTS of outside money coming in.
FWIW the GA house in a post above. That town is not near any city. Good luck on employment. Metro Atlanta (Ya know where you can get a job) homes are considerably higher.
