The median housing price in SF is $1.6M. There is no choice but to rent, or perhaps suffer an absolutely terrible commute.
(And since someone inevitably quips that the entire Bay Area makes $300k+: the $125k in the article is a bit low; the median tech salary is ~$135k. Some lucky souls pulling down massive stock benefits at a FAANG might be making enough total, but those of us not at a FAANG are not so lucky.)
