I'm guessing it was a typo, but the reference to SV workers having "starter families" brings up some fabulous mental imagery.

Starter family as in finally saving enough money to put down on a $600k new condo they just finished building in east san jose while working in west san jose and budgeting and maxing out Amazon Prime to get more diapers for the new baby.

It's a very expensive co-op game with plenty of DLC.

Note to self: No mater how bad things get, don't "pivot" the family.

If a starter family is like a starter home, after you spend 5-10 years saving money you would be expected to sell the starter family and buy a mid-range family in a better part of town. ;-)

Wouldn't you keep the starter family as a rental?
