    San Francisco, CA The cost of living in San Francisco is the highest in the country. Jobs in the City by the Bay pay well, with average annual incomes of over $100,000

    Now imagine one just doesn’t choose to live in the literal most expensive place on the planet.

    FWIW the only people benefiting from this shitty exclusionary zoning are the boomers who rigged the zoning so they stay rich forever. It’s entirely a localized problem.

      Ah, the classic, “Why don’t they just move?”

      Because the jobs I want to work will relocate to the midwest to help me cover rent. /s

      And before you tell me to take a less-fancy job, some of the problems a person might want to solve are far more interesting and rewarding than the kinds of “tech” jobs available in a place like Austin, TX. No comparison at all. People don’t work hard to do things that don’t interest them.
