I think a large percentage of readers here live in the bay area, and there are lots of strong feelings about housing in SF and the Bay Area in general so these articles will keep coming.

It's undeniably a big issue in many parts of the US - especially the "booming" ones. Here in Oregon, we're getting tons of 'refugees' from California who, in turn, drive up prices here.

It's also a huge issue for anyone working for a startup in that area, especially for those who are no longer young and single and thus require a bit more in terms of their housing.

But if you're a real hacker, then you work in San Francisco. /s

... but what about all the poor like-minded "progressive" people who, in mid-conversation, fart, bend over and inhale before resuming?

Please don't post unsubstantive comments here.
