Hot tip for startups: A lot of ppl who work for the big co.s (me included) live or have migrated to the east bay for housing over the years but hate the commute.

Hot tip? How does this solve anything? People who work at big tech companies migrate to Oakland pushing those who have been there out by driving rents higher.

And you think those companies will forfeit their offices in the city/SV?

Maybe you can kindly migrate back to where you came from?

The founding principle of North America is displacing unwanted people. Although the shift from John Locke's "justified" massacres to the somewhat less violent market forces is an improvement I suppose.

An improvement in the way living in an ancient car is an improvement over sleeping in small pox blankets.

But blaming an employee for living where he works is misguided, they're not the ones asking outrageous prices.

oh those poor flailing and flailing liberal coastal cities!

maybe Republicans can teach them something, by, for example, the coastal city of......Knoxville, TN.
