Basically true, but I'm happy enough to let the market solve this one. California will change or it will fail.

The one thing that should perhaps be legislated is some up-front disclosure in employment offers of typical costs of living in the BA. Many prospective employees from elsewhere will not quickly realize that (absurd as it seems) you can't raise a family there on $200K/y.

Pity, since California is such a nice place weather wise. And there is the crux of the problem: people put up with this madness because there is some other non-market reason that isn't very portable (e.g. Austin has very hot summers).
