Cost of living is also wildly different since 2010 though too.

Widly? I don't think there's ever been a decade of lower inflation. It's certainly not 4x as expensive as then

Wildly is about right. The last decade has been the highest real world inflation I've experience in my life and I'm not particularly young anymore so been around for a while.

looks like the cost of housing in Palo Alto has more than doubled: https://julianalee.com/palo-alto/palo-alto-statistics.htm

Edit: This is to say, the cost of housing has grown faster than the compensation available to new grads.
